Topic: MacMiner beta with bfgminer included - testers wanted - page 3. (Read 28741 times)
Happy birthday! Thanks for trying MacMiner. It looks like a pool url problem - i couldn't find pool-x.com, only the litecoin pool pool-x.eu - which would require bfgminer and option --scrypt - can you post the website for the pool you're using please?
crashes for me. This is what I get:
Using bfgminer, I get this:
So it looks like bfg would work, but it can't connect to my pool.

So it looks like bfg would work, but it can't connect to my pool.
I've been trying to get a good GPU miner going all weekend and I wake up to this! I'm definitely going to test this out. Today is my birthday and this would be a great gift! Thanks!
THIS IS AN OLD THREAD PLEASE POST HERE:

Hi all,
Some of you may be aware of MacMiner which was launched earlier this month as a poclbm GUI. I've now added a bfgminer backed with support for scrypt etc., but the only easy way to do this was to use an installer package rather than the compressed .app I've been distributing so far.
To alleviate healthy concerns with regards to security, this installer package is signed with my developer ID (you can check the certificate by clicking the lock on the top right of the installer once you've opened it) - it will require admin permissions to install jansson and libusb in /usr/ folders, so it will ask for your password.
If you just want the poclbm support you can customise the install to skip the libraries, or just grab the .app from the original thread here:
thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-poclbm-gui-miner-mac-app-now-with-bfgminer-cpuminer-166347
download: http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/macminer/
But I'd really like some feedback on whether the bfgminer backend works for you. I've only tested on the machine I'm developing on and a VM, which lacks devices to mine with. To use bfgminer you'll have to open the preferences (from the MacMiner menu bar or cmd-,) and choose bfgminer, and for now it'll give you an error unless you use flags(options) - if you don't want any special flags you can just use -q (quiet) to minimise the hefty output it churns out. Or check out the available options on the bfgminer github: https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer
Here's the installer:

all downloads require Mountain Lion (Mac OS 10.7+ )
