I would like to have this option available and I would keepit active any time my PC is on.
Is there a not too complicated way of solo mining or a specialized app for this?
You can try mining bitcoins in your pc using minergate if you want, but you won't get that much profit and it will probably destroy your PC first before you get ROI(for electricity and equipment). If you got powerful GPU installed and a powerful CPU, I suggest you try mining altcoins instead for better profits. If you still insist on mining bitcoins, go and buy expensive mining hardware.
