Use the GPU Miner window and in the setting panel set it to mine Scrypt and enter

-S zus:all

in the manual flags field

apply, start mining, and you should be good to go!

re:collins6542 I believe we sorted your issue on the fabulous panda forum

So I am using MacMiner 1.5.18 for Snow Leopard. Every time I attempt to open up the program I get a crash report. I have tried to open it up immediately after installation. I also have tried after downloading BFGMiner 5 and replaced the BFGMiner and JAN file in the MacMincer package contents... still failing.. this is a script from the crash report I am getting... I had to wipe and reinstall everything on the computer so I am attempting to reinstall macminer.

Anybody having luck getting their GAW Furys going on this? If so, can you point me in the right direction to get it figured out. I'm having trouble setting up the config file and also am not sure of what drivers to use for the usb.

Thanks.

Hey all,

I am diving into mining head first! I have purchased 2 S3 miners from a friend and should get them in tomorrow. How would I go about setting up the BITMAIN ANTMINER S3s and getting it to mine along with my RockMiner New R Box? I looked at Dogies guide and couldnt find a MacMiner miner installation and setup.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Nice! The issue with the hash speed not displaying is due to changes in bfgminer since the last 10.6 version was released. Is it showing up in the API Output window?

If you don't mind getting hands on, the two branches are here:

https://github.com/fabulouspanda/MacMiner/branches

The relevant code is in /MacMiner/asicMiner.m in each branch that parses the bfgminer output so you could copy the code from the master branch to your clone of the 10.6 support branch

I don't have time to work on it any time soon unfortunately!

So I have my ROCKMINERs up and going... I went ahead and downloaded the BFGMINER 5 and replaed the following Files:
BFGMINER
CURL
JANSSON
LIBEVENT
LIBIDN
LIBSUB
LIBMICROHTTPD
OPENSSL

It is up and running hashing at around 147 Gh/s. I have ran into a new issue though.. it is not showing me updated hash speed at the top of the MacMiner status bar. Any Suggestions?

Hmm... yeah that is how i have it set up. I am out of state for work. I will be back on Thursday. I will definitely give it a try then.

Sounds as though you've got it it up right, here's how it should look


If that doesn't work you can either copy the bfgminer folder from the latest non 10.6 version at
MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer

and use it to replace the one in the 10.6 version.

Right click the apps and show package contents to get inside them.

It's probably also worth copying over the jansson folder too, although you can skip that part unless you get a new wrong library version error after replacing your bfgminer in 10.6 MacMiner

Ok, total ignorance here.. is that located under FPGA/ASIC Miner Options / Devices Manual Flags: ? ifso I have this pasted: with nothing else.-S rkm:all --set rkm:clock=290

Please copy paste your FPGA/ASIC window manual flags here for me, it may be formatted incorrectly

So i just imputed that information and was given this.  [2015-03-21 23:29:40] /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/bin/bfgminer: --set: unrecognized option                   

Oh and which pool for best profit depends whether you can reach the payout threshold, but I'm a strong advocate of eligius.st which has no pool fee and is made by the developer of bfgminer so theoretically if it makes any difference you'd get the best performance using both together

Awesome, such a shame specs are moving on so fast to make all our original miners redundant!

You can use your Rockminer RBox with Macminer really easily, the most basic method would be adding

-S rkm:all --set rkm:clock=290

to the ASIC window flags - I believe the default frequency is 270 so varying too far from that figure will stop it mining, at the very least efficiently

That helped a lot.. As soon as I changed my port from 3333 to 3334, I am up 6 shares already. When I get home I am going to attempt to hook up my Rock Miner New R-Box 100-110 Gh/s Miners.. I have had such a problem installing them.... anyone use Rockminer on MacMiner?

Looks like Ill have to do some more buying... once i get the jist of this ofcouse... So with slow miners, i.e. under 500 Gh/s what pools would you guys recommend for best profit.... yeah i know the golden question... the pot o gold at the end of the rainbow... the... you get the.. jist.

-Poor old slow snow leopard n00b

N.B. they suggest switching the port from 3333 to 3334 for slower miners, so that could help, but they consider slow anything under 750GH/s

I've set up an account with the pool and I'll test it with the Jalapeño to see how it does at 7GH (somehow misplaced the antminer in the last week…) - after 7 minutes I got 1 accepted share, but since finding that once I've found 8 more in just a few minutes, so it could be that the first share is 'default' difficulty and it adjusts down based on how long it takes you to find that. It definitely does support auto difficulty adjustment.

when you say off and on, what's the longest time you've left it running for? every time you restart it the work starts over…

The pool help page says "Please note that we only support ASIC miners and do not support CPU or GPU mining." which suggests like most/all pools if you're not hashing fast enough you're not going to have much if any success…

That said, it does seem as though you found the best pool for slow mining, if this is anything to go by:

https://bitcoinsfaq.wordpress.com/2014/12/17/bitcoin-mining-howto-best-paying-pool/

(about 1/4 down the page, and your pool called bitcoin affiliate network rather than bitcoindigger)

Ive been running it for about 1 hour off and on. I am connected to stratum+tcp://geo.bitcoindigger.com:3333 it shows me pool 0

the stock speed is 1.6 and claims overclocked it can reach 2.2 - though bfgminer seems to run faster than stock by default - so that much is normal.

WRT accepted/rejected shares, how long has it been mining and what pool are you connected to? Minimum share difficulty on ALL pools now means it takes quite a long time to even get your first accepted.

I use eligius.st and for laziness I'll repost a section of my response to another user with a similar question at http://fabulouspanda.co.uk/forum/ :


My advice is to find the pool with the lowest payout threshold and lowest share difficulty - If you find one that suits you I'd appreciate a recommendation as I'm getting asked this more often with the sky high difficulty!

So I just got my U1 (test miner) up and running today.. I am using OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) I am hashing at 1.89 Gh/s -2.20 Gh/s. I have yet to see my ACCEPTED and REJECTED to change from 0. Is this normal?

Very Respectfully,

Complete n00b running with the snow leopards
