Topic: Trying to mine PPcoin on a Mac help me get set up. Reward: .05 BTC or 2 LTC (Read 4771 times)

I can help you with this I've just done it on my mac book. Don't worry about using boot camp you can do it all on the mac natively.

First you want to get yourself bfgminer to do that you want to follow this tutorial http://blog.nwoolls.com/2013/07/01/bitcoin-mining-on-mac-os-x-asics/ i've not had much success with cgminer and the erupters so definitely go bfgminer

All going to plan you should now be able to open up a terminal window and type:

bfgminer -o ppc.fixx.ru:8437 -u username -p password -S all --disable-gpu

I mine on ppc.fixx.ru too and it works great. Don't forget the --disable-gpu though as it'll kill your macbook.

I presume you've signed up with ppc.fixx.ru already? Just use those usernames. You'll obviously need a wallet for ppcoin which you can get from here:

then if you want to do the Proof of Stake earning you'll need:

Then to get that working follow my advice here:

I've only just got in to bitcoin so any donations would be very welcome My bit coin address is 1PQS43csjj9S4JAZD41Y9D93GfRHaQcPTk

Hopefully that helps? Feel free to ask any more questions though.

EDIT: I'm not so good at forums apparently. I can't make those mega links a URL so you'll just have to copy and paste.

Hi,
I have spent so many hours trying to find a mining program for mac that works that I honestly just want to throw my computer at the wall. NOTHING WORKS. I don't understand any of these commands or anything, and I've tried following exactly what people have wrriten but all I get is errors or "illegal" or that stuff. Here is my the info about computer and situation:

I own a Macbook that I bought last June/July.
I have a ASIC USB Erupter that mines 330mg/s.
I have windows downloaded using Parallels and Boot Camp.
I wish to mine PPcoin using my Macbook and the Erupter.
I wish to mine PPcoin using this pool: http://ppc.fixx.ru/.

I am open to using any mining software, and if possible I am fine with using my windows to run it (I don't know if I can do that though since this is a mac). I do not know how to program or really anything about coding or commands. I only know what I've read from all these mining so called "newb threads" (they don't help...).

I know I will not be earning much but honestly at this point I'm just so fed up after spending so much time and having gotten nowhere which is why I'm offering a small reward (.05 BTC or 2 LTC) for your help. Please help if you can.

Note: As I have bets pending in sports, the BTC reward will be paid within 24 hours, the LTC reward can be paid immediately.
