It's some kind of missing library problem, though if it's not telling you which it's probably something out of the libraries included with the system.

Only thing I can think to recommend is opening the bfgminer binary in Textedit and making sure all the files listed at the top exist, but like I say it's probably a different library that's missing or not loading properly.

Yeah, It's a hackintosh with two 5870s. Tried BFG Miner and it seemed to hang so I ran it through Terminal and sure enough I still get that "Trace/BPT trap: 5" error. I really wish I knew what was causing that. A Hackintosh running 10.8.3 *shouldn't* be any different than any other Mac running it yet I seem to get this error with any scrypt miner I try to run.

That hash rate is kinda meh for BTC... If I could get that working with scrypt I might be able to do pretty doggone well with LTC.

Hey Mr. No Sox,

I have to say I envy your hash rate there. Hackintosh or what?

The reason it's not working with LTC is that poclbm doesn't support it, if you go to the view menu you can choose cpuminer (which only supports LTC) and/or bfgminer which supports LTC with the --scrypt option

NB cpuminer requires http:// before the pool

BTW... it works BEAUTIFULLY with my BTC pool (slush)

Hi Anonymailer! Figured I'd check in and see what's been going on. I downloaded the latest pkg and it runs for me now! If I'm looking at this right though it looks like all of my shares are getting rejected. Is there anything I can do differently? Maybe some flags I don't know of?

Oh, this is my LTC pool

I downloaded the latest-and-greatest with the proper cert and CGMiner is working amazingly well under 10.7.5.

Thanks for all your work on this package ! Flipped 0.25 BTC to your address as appreciation (https://blockchain.info/tx/3546cd6c03bf69a068f21c1111744327db4b67ca28656f6482a27f7b3fee3ac8)

try to run a http tunnel to your PC at home. Then connect via this tunnel. Do an internet search, you'll figure it out.

>ssh -D user@host
>./cgminer --socks-proxy 127.0.0.1:

 ... also works well.

Well the bad news for me is that it seems to work fine at home, so my company must block the stratum ports/interface or something! Sad
Yeah I work in IT and it's generally large company policy to block anything they don't need. Maybe you could try a pool with getwork? Either that or set up slush's mining proxy at home and use a static IP or dynamic dns and port forwarding to get something sorted out.

After Ars Technica got in touch with regards to running a BFL ASIC on Mac OS I'm happy to report their report:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/05/weve-got-a-butterfly-labs-bitcoin-miner-and-its-pretty-darn-fast/

and the setup we used:

After installing the Mac OS 64bit drivers here:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

we ran:
./bfgminer -o pool.name.com:port -u username -p password -S bfl:/dev/cu.usbserial-FTWILFLM

I'll be making a specific external device view for MacMiner very soon!

That's quite peculiar, I have the 10.8 and 10.7 versions running poclbm on stratum.bitcoin.cz without any issues. If you could report back with the accept/reject number of shares and reported speed on bitcoin.cz when you leave where you are as well as how it goes at home I would be grateful!

Hmm that speaks of connection difficulties to the pool of course but it's unusual that SOME work goes through but perhaps other does not. Have you left it running since then and if so what's the reject rate and how often are shares being accepted approximately? It can take the pool a while to show your full speed.

It might also be worth getting a ping and bandwidth measurement from speedtest.net or similar to check whether there are any connectivity problems on your line at the moment?
Just tried a different network available here (routed differently) and its the same! Old GuiMiner still seems to work out, though its not using stratum I guess, Ill have to check at home to be sure.

Lol, the updated version ran fine with the permission tweaking.
Sorry does that mean you had to tweak the permissions on the new version too?

Lol, the updated version ran fine without (EDITed in without!) the permission tweaking.

I havent ran it long enough to be sure, but Im getting some weird IO error in it, lots of these errors:

It says its mining at 64MH/s (Rej: 3/3 100%) however in My Account on Bitcoin.cz I see its rating it at only 7MH/s.

Any idea?

Cool, thanks for the feedback it's really good to know where things are and aren't working! Did the update run fine without having to adjust the permissions too unlike the 1.0 release?

I didn't find out about a driver I'd forgotten to package with the 10.8 1.0 version until a reporter at ars technica got in touch with me yesterday to help him get a BFL Jalapeno running  Grin It's really strange getting thousands of downloads without people mentioning when they run in to issues... or perhaps they're special cases.

I think your update fixed it as I got that error on the earlier version too but not on the version Ive just downloaded from your site.

Should that be happening with a valid Apple Developer ID Cert ?

No it shouldn't, thanks for letting me know, it seems I used the wrong Cert, can you please redownload the installer and let me know whether it's verified OK for you now?
