Dang, just did that update tonight and I continue to see this message over and over and my BFL ASIC will stop hashing until I click "Indeed" and then the message comes back again after about a minute.
Well that's no good! The symptoms suggest that the backend is crashing repeatedly. Which window are you using, the FPGA/ASIC window? When you start mining can you look out for whether it says there's a problem with the device or the pool in the miner window please? You should get output like 'started mining on devicename' and 'pool 0 requested work update'

version 1.4.10 fixes the API output window, many thanks to Random8 for making this one possible by sending me a block erupter!
The next update will make the window more resizable and focus on minimising memory footprint throughout the app.

I'm a little new to Mac Miner and for the life of me I can't get this to work.
This is what I have going on. I have a mac mini with 3 Anker USB hubs connected to 3 USB ports on the back of the mini. (mini has 4 ports in total)
1 Anker has 9 Eruptors
1 Anker has 9 Eruptors
1 Anker has 7 Eruptors
I'm using bitminter for the pool but I'm not even sure if it's connecting correct. What would the pool settings be for bitminter? ( http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 / username / password ) does the group need to be included?
It's only showing the hash at 2/3 Mh.
I would love some help.

Are you using the FPGA/ASIC window? If so, you'll need to install the usb-serial drivers from here:
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx
Install those, use -s all in the miner settings flags and start and it should work fine.
Alternatively, DON'T install the drivers and use the cgminer window, just press start and it should detect them, but if the drivers and installed that won't work.
In response to the previous post, your backup pools are down so you might want to go to Miner settings - edit config manually and change or remove those that aren't working right now.
And special thanks to Random8, the block erupter turned up today and i'll be releasing and update for the API view very soon!

Has there been some problem with the "official" MacMiner pools? I haven't seen a deposit to my wallet since 8/18/2013, and I used to get one every day or every other day.
I do notice this when MM is starting up, though it then finds something and starts to work.
Anything I need to tweak on my end?

Yep, and if you bought some from them previously at a higher price, BTCGuild will give you coupons to buy that many at 0.15 BTC each (plus 0.05 BTC shipping for each order). That includes shipping in the U.S. I paid 0.10 BTC for shipping to the U.K. for Anonymailer's Erupter, for a total of 0.25 BTC.
-R8
P.S. The current full price of 0.24 BTC includes shipping within the U.S.

BTCGuild has them for 0.24 BTC now.
Actually, that was for a U.S. shipping address, from a U.S. company. Slightly more for shipping to the U.K. I got your PM, and I replied with a question.

By the way, it will cost me 0.2 BTC to send you a Block Erupter, including shipping. If you can get one for a better price, I'll just send you the BTC.

That's pretty good, the best I can find on eBay inc. shipping is .4BTC - I guess I should have looked around the forums! -R8

Heck, Anonymailer, you do good work. PM me a mailing address and I'll have a Block Erupter sent to you.
In my case, I think everything is working right, but it's being reported wrong to Macminer. The pool web site (btcguild) is showing all the correct numbers for hash rate and blocks accepted. It's just showing the wrong numbers in the Macminer bfgminer window.

Wow, thanks, that's really generous of you! I'll PM you now.
I'll give the github version of bfgminer a shot rather than 3.2 and if that has the same problem I'll post an issue for that on the github page.

Just updated MacMiner to version 1.4.9 on my iMac, running OS X Version 10.8.4. I'm using bfgminer on a single Block Erupter USB miner.
It works fine with the pool (btcguild), but the miner window shows a very low hash rate (~5 MH/s when it should be 330 MH/s), and shows a very low accepted block number. On the btcguild web site, all is well for hash rate and accepted block numbers.
I had no problem with the previous version.
Thanks,

Thanks, that's interesting - I had an email from someone reporting slower speeds on the latest version but it changed when they set intensity manually - now I'm curious as to whether bfgminer 3.2 is just reporting the wrong speed. I'm quite certain it's an issue with 3.2 though and I intend to report back to luke jr and hopefully get this figured out.
The API issue is mystifying me slightly, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to fix it till I get another USB miner. Something must be wrong with my 'for' loop. I would spring for a block erupter but I'm pretty broke till payday!

I too have nothing in the table portion. I'm running the FPGA/ASIC miner as you say, with two BEs and a Lancelot FPGA. There is content in the upper part of the window but it doesn't seem to be changing much, and doesn't seem to correspond to anything reported by the FPGA/ASIC miner window.
Yeah, that "when" time is seven hours ago. I've stopped and started the miner (and closed the API window) since then.[/code]

1.4.9 adds a table view to API output - this will be scrubbed up a lot but right now I'm interested in knowing whether people with 2+ GPUs or 2+ USB miners get all their devices listed - I only have 1 GPU and 1 Jalapeno to test with!
I'm mining with 2 Block Erupters on a Mac Mini... Just installed the newest build. The API window doesn't list any devices for me. Currently using no the no GPU checkbox and -S all in the arguments field.

1.4.8 out now with a couple of fixes.
The cpuminer 2.3.2 version has been switched out with the one distributed on pooler's cpuminer thread and hopefully this update also fixes the issue XFox was experiencing as I've changed the API output mechanism only to run if FPGA/ASIC miner is running.

Yep, cpuminer works now and I have no more crashes, thank you!
