I have my Erupter working Mac OS X -> VMWare Fusion -> XUbuntu
cgminer 3.1.1 with -S
I can't get cgminer 3.2 to work. /dev/ttyUSB0 gets disconnected as soon as cgminer 3.2 starts up and cgminer doesn't see anything to mine with.
I jumped through a bunch of hoops trying to get 3.2 working but in the end, with 3.1.1, the only thing I needed was -
adding myself to the dialout group.

MacMiner works well on a Mac 
So does GUIminer 
What a waste of time and ressources. I will never understand "the mac way".
macs are for people who like using computers but dislike having to tinker with computer hardware.
similarly, usb erupters are for people who like bitcoin but don't have a spare room in their home for big aluminum frames full of GPUs and huge noisy fans and PSUs.
not surprisingly, some mac owners have ordered usb erupters.
The last couple of series of Macs have either had nVidia or Intel GPUs, both are useless for mining, so something like the erupters are a reasonable option. Same goes for PC and laptop users that don't have ATI video cards, Mac owners are in exactly the same boat.

Modular Python Bitcoin Miner using an icarus worker works well on mac.
Macs are hard to configure for mining
i'm only using my mac until my 2nd raspberry pi shows up... now that should be fun

Hi,
I made some small progress... I am currently mining on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.5.
But... only using Win XP running in a Parallels 7 environment.
There I installed the 3.0.2 bfgminer (32 bit version) and the CP210x drivers:

Next step for tomorrow: Copy the VM to the Mac Mini and try it with all 4 USB ASICs and the Ztex
Boards (running natively on OS X).

I have 77 of the little things........ 19 laying dormant at the moment 
Can they be set up on a Mac easy? I am completely illiterate when it comes to Apple products and their operating system, but my Mrs owns one of them, maybe i can link the other 8 upto this? I have the hubs
Sweet baby Jesus. 19 dormant... I would love to take a few off your hands to help out Can they be set up on a Mac easy? I am completely illiterate when it comes to Apple products and their operating system, but my Mrs owns one of them, maybe i can link the other 8 upto this? I have the hubs
You are a God for putting this all together successfully.

Has someone the cheaper group buy for Europe thread link? (It's all about monne...BTC)
Is there already a cheaper USB miner group buy? Didn't know that. We are trying to get things going in the Dutch section, but nothing really happened already. So we are also looking for options!

Total # = 43 customers on that list, but each with varying quantities. One person had qty 16 Jalapeno's delivered supposedly, another qty 8...
edit: too late, just saw your edit
edit: too late, just saw your edit
Since BFL is starting to ship a lot of jalapeno
Are they?
http://bfl.ptz.ro/
Don't know if that constitutes "a lot".
But it is a change from *two* when I last looked at that site a few days ago.
I only count 40-something. Where's the 100 # come from?
edit: forgot to count the multiple unit orders - derp.

might have another hub hooked up thanks for the tip just try a new port
edit, nope did not work
edit: I am using com port 52 - 111 + com port 6........ how do i essentially use com port 1 - 52?
edit: after inspection, most of my com ports were already listed as (in use 1- 51), i have 254 com ports, which would make sense as i think my laptop would have a controller on each side, 127 devices each port.

( Had three ports that would not accept any Erupter USB that was plugged into it, but worked fine in any other slot. *shrugs* )
to my understanding it is possible to run 127USB devices from the one host...... any ideas why i am failing to pass 58? would love to add another 2 racks to that photo for ya!
linux or windows?
winodws, away to shop, will work on this in 10mins
A more realistic observation seems to be that the Avalon chips on BKK K1 style devices could hit the market and reach a significantly lower price-point. Maybe as low as 1/10 the cost by my guesstimates. And it could happen quickly and soon.
Don't expect Avalon Chips before August and ready K1 on September. Although a K1 is 0.08 BTC per chip and around 20€ for the board and assembly. So roughly 40-50€ per K1 including shipping.
My guesstimate was based on an observation of what Arduino's can be pumped out at, the likely demand volume for such items if they can make money, and also the conjecture that if Avalon sold out they would order another run.
I could be wrong...I often am.
