The settings save now, but it threw exceptions at me when I fired up the miner:

The older version still does the trick, though. I hope it's an easy fix for you. And, for the record, it's still an awesome program.
Topic: New poclbm GUI Miner Mac .app [now with bfgminer + cpuminer] - page 2. (Read 35241 times)
This miner is way better than anything I've used on OS X so far. Native Stratum support, works without having to install or modify additional files, I can have my BTC wallet open at the same time... I posted a question in the newbie pen before they let me out:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/macminerapp-profile-settings-186119
I'm curious to know if there is a way to save your profile info (pool/port #, options, user, pw) for the next time you load the application. Is that a future feature, or is there a trick? Thanks for the help and the awesome application.

Thanks for the positive feedback! I really appreciate it. I might even quote you on my CV
I've updated MacMiner now to support saving options (that was kinda bugging me too) and to support fullscreen mode - the link is the same:
http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/MacMiner.app.zip
it's a bit bigger now though as I've also included python 2.7.4 and updates to poclbm, hopefully my bandwidth allowance will make it through to May!

oh cool!
badabing badaboom and it's working.... THANKS!
I have installed MacPorts and some other things, is that the dependencies you're talking about?
Great, glad that helped!badabing badaboom and it's working.... THANKS!
I have installed MacPorts and some other things, is that the dependencies you're talking about?
I was mostly wondering about python modules that could have been installed, like pyopencl, but I've just now run MacMiner in the 10.8 VM I have set up, even after removing some system included dependencies like numpy it seems to run fine, as should be expected with the included framework, I was mainly concerned because one 10.8 user was having problems, and wasn't sure why!
Hope you get some good mining in before BFL ships it's ASICs
Hey, glad to see it looks as though it's working for you, and lucky I use slush's pool too so I can help you out here!
change pool to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 (you can leave out the http://)
it looks to me as though you have the user/pass set up correctly, as long as that's registered at mining.bitcoin.cz - you use usernameyoulogintothesitewith.individualworkername for user and the password for the worker, not the login to the website.
Please do let me know how you get on! I'm especially interested in whether it works fine for people who haven't already installed any of the dependencies, and if you're new to mining I'm guessing that's the case for you?

from total noob standstill, that has set up a mining account on mining.bitcoin.cz, how do I setup MacMiner from the beginning??
do I use my site login info? or the worker/password info?
this is what I've got so far:

http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/poclbm.dmg
You can also try running the poclbm.app/Contents/MacOS/poclbm executable directly, if you drag that file in to the terminal and type user.worker:pass@pool:port it might give some clearer output that running through guiminer… thanks for the console output so far!
scratch that, doesn't work on 10.7... I'll try to find out why. so sorry all, both are 10.8 only for now
One thing though - the 2012-11-18 one is my guiminer and the 2011-x-x version is the old one - was that a typo or is it actually mine that's working for you? Or it's MacMiner that's saying No OpenCL… ?
Your version is saying No OpenCL.let me know how it goes?
Same message after replacing the app within the app, No OpenCL.Interestingly enough the error console showed up from leaving the No OpenCL window open for a bit and showed the following.

Thanks for the feedback, looks like the core isn't working properly, can you please download the new poclbm package (they made some Mac OS relevant changes since the last package) here:
http://www28.zippyshare.com/v/69215613/file.html
and unzip that poclbm.app then right click my guiminer.app - show package contents, then go /Contents/MacOS and replace the poclbm.app there with the new one, and let me know how it goes? I haven't integrated that into my guiminer yet as I'm cutting my hosting limit fine as it is!

…OK this has been downloaded over 1000 times now, can I get anymore feedback? A simple does/doesn't work? All I know right now is it's working for two people (1 newbie messaged me) and not working for one person

Thanks for all your help mate. Looks like it's got nothing to do with your stuff (fortunate for you, unfortunate for me).
I just grabbed the head of the poclbm git repo and did a fresh install of PyOpenCL etc and i'm getting much the same errors as I did with the GuiMiner (the older version) when running it directly in the terminal.
I think i'll make a new topic and see if anyone has an idea.
Thanks again for all the help!

No problem, I just wish I knew what was going on! I only get the same problem as your first one, and only if i run from the xcode archive package directly…
The last one looks like it might have been a typo server address maybe?
Do you have xcode and the command line tools installed by any chance?
I'm just wondering whether
is failing because OS X.8 needs both to compile software - whether the compile there is the problem? You can get both on the app store... install xcode, then go preferences - downloads and get the developer tools - but you need to set up a developer id i think (which is free)
I'm using xcode to put the thing together… if you get it installed you can check whether it works from project built in xcode on your system…

I wouldn't worry about it being caused by yourself, thinking back this might have been happening before I found the version you linked up top!
So I've tried your new app (nice start btw
, what you making it with?) but I get the same issue.
The .app's had already been put in the applications folder - it's interesting that you can replicate the issue by trying to run it from the package.
Drawing up blanks on what might be my issue.
I appreciate the help.
-Hobsie
edit: Actually I've gotten slightly different error messages.
edit2: I guess it's a little worrying that trying to run the poclbm.py scripts directly via terminal pump out a bunch of errors O_o

oooh um I hope I haven't caused this problem for you but here's something interesting - when I checked out my current build of the native Mac GUI version I'm putting together, which uses the same py2apped poclbm it works fine in build and in Applications directory, but when it's in the archive package it gives me the errors you're getting there… I'm not even sure why, but maybe if you move it to there (if it's not there already) it will work?
You can try with the Mac GUI I've put it up here:
http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/MacMiner.app.zip
You can't set arguments yet, it's not linked up and neither is the ? button but the miner works with default poclbm settings. Just make sure it's in the /Applications folder
I guess I may as well put that up on github now too

Hey, how long did you give it? it takes a minute or so for my Mac Pro to start accepting shares with the guiminer unlike poclbm itself, for some reason (Just tested from fresh download to this machine now).

The only other test was in a Mac VM which gave me the impression mine might have been missing a dependancy that had been installed by that original version- but I haven't had time to work on testing that or the native gui I'm working on the last week and I've forgotten precisely what the input I got out of the app was! And may have been an issue with the VM not having direct access to the GPU.
But, maybe try installing that old version, then after running that successfully you can switch to mine for stratum support, and if that works let me know too and when I get a chance I'll look in to what I left out!

Hi there,
I'm having issues trying to get the GuiMiner app running on my Mac. Seems like I have the same setup as you guys - 2011 15inch MBP 2.2GHz i7 AMD 6750M on OSX 10.8.3. In windows I can run the windows version of GuiMiner without issue but I'm yet to get things up and running on OSX.
Basically the app just hangs when trying to connect, console/log window just stops at "connecting". I'm mining in Slush's pool and it seems to get the redirect for stratum all fine but doesn't get any further.
Any Ideas?
Regards
Hobsie

I'm a little torn over what do with my mining rig and MBP. Bitcoins come in so slow now but they are quickly rising in value, so every little bit still counts. But, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to own some "also-ran" coins, just in case others do even better over time as they play catch-up with bitcoin.
Litecoin is the current second and I'm thinking that Freicoin is so different and appealing to some very-true-believers that it might do something crazy one day and right now I can mine a ton of coins.
