The Burst miner can be run as a windows service, that means no manual intervention is required to start every time.
Step 1: Download NSSM from below page(Not sure if I can directly link, so linking to page)
http://nssm.cc/download
Click the above link to download the NSSM. The file name would be nssm-2.24(When I wrote this)
Step 2: Now we are going to create a folder C:\NSSM and extract the files to this folder.
Navigate to the path C:\NSSM\nssm-2.24\win64 in windows explorer
Step 3: Right click the folder holding shift and select open command prompt here
Type "nssm install" and press enter. If the program requests for administrator access, provide the same as it is required for creating a service.
The below window opens
In the path specify the path of the "miner-v1.160420.exe".
This file is usually located in below path.
C:\Users<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\BurstWallet\miner-burst-1.160420\ miner-v1.160420.exe
The startup directory would be populated automatically.
Note: If there are any new plots, they need to be updated in the Miner.conf. The easiest way is to just run "start mining" in Burst wallet application. In the window that appears, click "Start mining". It starts the miner. The miner can be stopped as soon as the miner window appears. The configuration file would be updated then.
Provide a service name
Click install service. It's done. You would get a message " Service "MinerX" installed successfully!
Step 4: Start the service
To start the service, Windows key+ R and enter "Services.msc" and press enter
The services window opens. Find the MinerX service. Right click and start the service.
Note: Before starting stop the miner if it is running.
Note: The service would be set to start automatically everytime the computer is booted.
Uninstalling the service
If at any point you want to uninstall the service
Navigate to the path C:\NSSM\nssm-2.24\win64 in windows explorer
Right click the folder holding shift and select open command prompt here
Type "NSSM remove MinerX" and press enter
Confirm admin rights access and removal of service.
Note: The only problem would be to view the statistics, which can be actually be viewed in the pool.
