I made more tests and I think it's a bug related to the BFG Miner autostart checkbox:
- if I tick the BFG Miner autostart checkbox, when I launch MacMiner both BFG Miner and CPU Miner are started;
- if I untick the BFG Miner autostart checkbox, when I launch MacMiner neither BFG Miner or CPU Miner are started.
Can you reproduce the issue?

Thanks, I see the issue now, will get that fixed ASAP!

Is that on a machine which has had CPU checked before? If so can you please try toggling and saving again? I can't reproduce the issue :S As a last resort you could delete /Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.fabulouspanda.macminer.plist

But that would reset everything else, too!

Thank you BitBacco!
Now BFG Miner autostarts correctly but each time I start MacMiner, CPU Miner is autostarted, too, even if the checkbox for CPU Miner in MacMiner's Preferences is not checked.

1.5.11 is out now which much improves the behaviour of the autostart buttons, includes a security fix for machines with unique WAN IPs or FQDNs and updates cgminer to 3.12

Oh dear, thanks for the report! I'll look in to this, I'm very busy today and tomorrow but hopefully tomorrow evening I'll push a fix!

let me know any new features you'd like added and they will hopefully make it in there for the version after that

I'd like to be able to add networked miners to the API Output window by FQDN.

I'va also a couple of problems with the new auto-start feature:
1) On a machine with OS X 10.8, I checked the preference to start BFG Miner but when I launch MacMiner I get a dialog saying the *CPU Miner* has started! Actually, neither BFG Miner nor CPU Miner is started.
2) On a machine with OS X 10.9, I checked the preference to start CPU Miner but when I launch MacMiner I don't get any dialog and *nothing* is started.

My pleasure! After a few days testing I'm very happy with the stability of 1.5.10b so with a couple of extra little fixes I'm going to announce a new 'Long term stable' version - let me know any new features you'd like added and they will hopefully make it in there for the version after that

1.5.10b fixes MobileMiner for users with apostrophes in their machine name

Ah, thanks for the report, it must be the apostrophe, I'll make sure to HTML safe that for the next version!

I am running MacMiner 1.5.10, the latest.

It manages, using FPGA/ASIC:

4 AntMiner USB sticks running between 2.06 and 2.07 Gh/s
1 BFL Mini 50 running at 54.54 Gh/s

It remotely monitors:

1 AntMiner 180 running at 181.81 Gh/s

All display in the API window but I couldn't get MobileMiner to work. I looked at the console error messages and noticed it was connecting with machine name Darquer's_MacBook_Pro. I renamed the machine DarquerMac01 to eliminate underscores and the apostrophe.

It works flawlessly now. Every device, even the remotely monitored Ant all show up in MobileMiner. I got the stats I posted above from my iPhone.

Thank you!

1.5.9 has been updated to 1509b with a bug fix for where MobileMiner just wasn't working for some users - many thanks to XFox for his bug report which solved the problem!

1.5.9 now out, remembers window positions and adds auto-start as well as fixing the start and stop buttons in MobileMiner

I'm glad you feel the same way about MacMiner I do Grin

I think one of the issues you're seeing with MobileMiner is to do with out of date data, like the buttons being active when the app was closed but having no effect - if you pull down the screen in MobileMiner it will refresh the info and that's always a good idea first thing on opening the app.

The buttons are connected up to existing functions as a quick fix but I'll be fixing that up for the next version probably out tonight, I'll also include auto-start miners and make sure the windows remember their state!

For a feature suggestion: make it so that each time you open the program, it opens the windows in the same size and formation as was open previously.

Besides a SMC error I need to fix this is all I see in Console.

1/13/14 9:37:44.562 PM MacMiner[22680]: I'm sploding!

Thats after quitting the application. Starting the app, and doing anything during shows nothing in the console.

An SMC error from MacMiner? I was hoping for something like this

14/01/2014 02:50:10.558 MacMiner[18366]: Error getting http://mobileminer.azurewebsites.net/api/[email protected]&applicationKey=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx&machineName=myServ&apiKey=26efrOXrizmEF3, HTTP status code 502

It must mean something is going wrong before then… thanks for checking it out, hopefully I'll get that sorted tomorrow!

No no, not SMC from macminer, just something I need to fix.

I got that error you mentioned when I reset my router and had no connection, so I know its "working" on that end.

Maybe it has something to do with this?

Even though I'm not mining it still shows the last GH reported, since sometimes MacMiner continues to show my GH even though it is stopped.. When hit start (it was black and enabled) all the buttons turn grey and does not go through to MacMiner. Now if MacMiner is running the buttons work. I am not a programmer of any sort so I have no clue what this means lol.

FOUND SOMETHING! Do you have the Restart and Stop programmed backwards? When I hit restart MacMiner stops, and when I hit stop, it restarts! If I hit restart, it will stop, and then and only then will Start actually start. My guess is once the buttons are straight it might not "confuse" itself.

Like I said earlier, the auto start feature would solve all my problems, because MobileMiner will at least control from that point... So by no means go out of your way just to figure out 3 buttons on an otherwise flawless miner you have built. Best I've used so far!
