CryptoFactory.exe - Fake Cryptocurrency Mining Application

Language(s) used

Welcome to CryptoFactory.exe – a fun and interactive fake cryptocurrency mining simulator built with Python and PyQt5. This application mimics the process of mining cryptocurrency with a user-friendly interface, fake GPU stats, and the ability to plot performance data in real-time.

Features

• Real-time Mining Simulation: The app simulates mining operations, showing fake statistics such as speed, average time, and GPU performance.
• BTC Price Fetching: The app fetches the real-time Bitcoin price from the CoinGecko API.
• Performance Data: Users can view mining performance data and plot speed and average time using Matplotlib.
• GPU Information: Fake GPU stats including temperature, load, and memory usage are displayed.
• BTC and USD Values: The app tracks and displays fake Bitcoin and USD values as mining progresses.
• User Interaction: Start and stop mining at any time. Explore additional features like settings, about, and support links.

Dependencies

To run the application, you need the following Python libraries installed:

• PyQt5: for building the GUI
• requests: to fetch real-time BTC prices
• matplotlib: for plotting performance data

Installing Dependencies on Linux

For Linux users, you can install the necessary dependencies as follows:

1. Install Python 3: Ensure that Python 3 is installed.

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install python3 python3-pip

2. Install PyQt5:

   sudo apt install python3-pyqt5

3. Install Additional Python Libraries:

   pip3 install requests matplotlib

If PyQt5 is not available through your package manager, you can install it via pip:

pip3 install PyQt5

How to Run

Running on Linux

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/l1ve709XXD/CryptoFactory-1.6.git
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   cd CrpytoFactory.1.6
   python3 main.py

2. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x main.py

3. Run the application:

   ./main.py

Alternatively, you can run it with Python 3 directly:

python3 main.py

File Overview

• main.py: The main Python file that runs the fake mining application.
• background.jpg: An optional background image file used in the main window. Ensure it's in the same directory as main.py.

Functionality

Start/Stop Mining

• Start Mining: Click the RUN button to simulate cryptocurrency mining.
• Stop Mining: Click the STOP button to stop the simulation.

Wallet and Transactions

• Monitor your fake Bitcoin and USD wallet values as they update during the mining process.

GPU Stats

• Displays fake GPU information (e.g., temperature, memory usage) that updates in real-time.

Performance Data

• The app records and displays performance data, which you can visualize with the Plot Performance Data button.

Settings and Customization

• Theme: Change between light and dark themes from the settings window.
• About & Support: Links to an external website and a Discord server for additional information and support.

Linux-Specific Notes

• Permission Issues: If you encounter permission issues while trying to run the script, ensure the main.py file is executable (chmod +x main.py).
• Python Version: Make sure you are using Python 3. Some distributions might still default to Python 2.
• PyQt5 Installation: If you encounter issues with installing PyQt5 via apt, using pip to install it (pip3 install PyQt5) is an alternative solution.

Future Improvements

• Add real-time mining pool interaction.
• Enhance GPU information with real-time hardware monitoring.
