The Diablo miner wasn't specifically what I was referring to, as you are correct, it works as suggested (although not in my card).
The RPCMiner, however, doesn't work (sorry for the confusion)

hey, don't bother if it's too much work, people like me number few
1st gen MacBook Pro's have Intel Core Duo's, which are 32bit x86...
Could you possibly compile it somewhat universal?

Its... written in Java. Surely Apple provides a Universal binary JVM?

I think there is a bug. I enter port 8337 and it always corrects it to 8332 and fails to connect.
New versions of both miners released. Get the downloads. Changes for the 2011-05-21 release:
- Much improved input checks for the configuration wizard to prevent user-error with helpful error messages.
- Minimum OS version set to 10.6.0. (OS 10.5 support for RPCminer is coming later.)
- Diablo updated from new upstream release.
- RPCminer gained HTTPS support.
Just as a side note, mine probably was the first to support https.

Check your GPU temp, it shouldn't exceed 75c on anything mobile or anything nvidia, or 85c on non-mobile radeons
It's a stock Mac Pro setup, so that'd be fresh! I don't even know if they have the temp sensors on the GPUs inside these rigs.
If so, should Hardware Monitor or iStat be able to read the temps from inside Mac OSX?
iStat does, they update it with every hardware release for the new sensors.

Dunno, I don't use OSX.

So I have it working. Two questions:
I get an error:

I get an error:

Ahh, that. That usually indicates the hardware is overheating, damaged, or the driver sucks.
Yeah, that's what I was getting consistently. Hopefully it's just "the driver sucks".

And second, the output shows two numbers 13600/14000 (changing of course). Is my total hash rate both of those combined?

The two numbers are 15 sec avg/forever avg.

I'm getting a good percentage of invalid blocks found on a Radeon HD 4870 on Diablo. Is this normal?
Sounds like pool failure. Always double check using a local bitcoin installation to rule this out.

Shares vs blocks... The miner can't tell the difference??
So I'm getting shares and not blocks. Yes??

another noob q
within 20 minutes, Terminal is telling me I found 12 blocks??? can this be right? or is this the entire pool?

Shares are diff 1 blocks, the miner can't tell the difference.
I want to use my Slush's account.
What is the answer to Server host name or IP address? and port? and so on (I didn't get passed the port???)?
You must add a worker to your account. That will be your login in the client.What is the answer to Server host name or IP address? and port? and so on (I didn't get passed the port???)?

The phoenix miner works just fine on mac if you install the prerequisites. It also seems to miner a little faster than Diablo, at my on my rig. Having a UI for it would also be great.
Packaging it should be simple. But for it to be useful I guess I should auto-configure the miner based on the recommendations posted by the developer matching the hardware. (This is fairly easy on the Mac.) I will have a look at it over the weekend.If you work on phoenix one thing you will need to account for on the mac is the fact that for some reason when it compiles the kernel and you restart it, it causes the script to fail. That means everytime you restart phoenix you have to manually go in and remove the compiled kernel. Yes, I could easily fix it via shell script but I have been lazy.
Is there a way to get the plists to be stored in the same directory as the application, instead of inside ~/Library/Preferences/?
Not at the moment. The miners use Mac OS’ User Defaults API which decides on where the preferences are saved. If I ever do a Linux port of these scripts I will probably use something more generic. Jump to:
