File not found crash
Hi I downloaded and unzipped the file like it says... then moved it in to the applications folder... But when i try to run the miner i get this error - -
[2018-01-02 12:28:34] /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/bin/bfgminer: -c: JSON decode of file '/Users/nodeOne/Library/Application Support/MacMiner/ltcurls.conf' failed
unable to open /Users/nodeOne/Library/Application Support/MacMiner/ltcurls.conf: No such file or directory
Any ideas? I installed homebrew just to make sure it was not that... I am running two systems...
One is OSX 10.13.1 with a GTX 780 3GB
The other is OSX 10.11.6 with a GTX 780 3GB
I have downloaded the MacMiner 1.5.42 version because I want to mine Monero/XMR
p.s. in the prefs I can set up a pool for cryptonight/xmr so thats all good but in GPU miner options I have it set to Scrypt right because Monero is scrypt based like LTC and Dogecoin?
Thanks for all the info..

You don't need homebrew for any of the software I provide precompiled, you'd only need that for compiling software yourself. The MacMiner error you posted seems to indicate no pool has been set up for LTC, but Monero doesn't use LTC, it uses cryptonight.
Rather than using MacMiner for Monero I'd suggest running xmr-stak in the Terminal as those are newer and more efficient miners for Monero.
hmmm I am a bit confused... can macminer not mine monero coins?
Thank you
MacMiner has a Monero (XMR) cpuminer built in but it's out of date and less efficient than the xmr-stak option
oh so if I want to GPU mine monero... I need to go with xmr-stak?
Yes, and because you're using nvidia GPUs it requires linking to the specific version of the nvidia drivers you have installed so you should grab it from the GitHub here http://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak as I haven't compiled that one
ok thank you... I found this here... So is the AMD version support but Nvidia not? Do you maybe know when you will offer support for Nvida? I am having trouble compling.. lol

Thanks
The thing about Nvidia is people have different versions of the Nvidia drivers installed so either it would only work for people using whatever drivers I can install or I'd have to do a bunch of versions for the different versions of the drivers and versions of macOS, and on top of that I don't even have any Mac with an Nvidia GPU to test it with. That's part why I'm thinking of just putting together an install script for it instead.
