CPU mining with Macminer hash x-11

lpgpool

I'm mining in a cpu pool on dark coin using my desktop Mac using MacMiner. It worked for about 2 weeks then nothing.

I contacted the pool and they asked me to check if MacMiner sends the shares and is it sending the correct shares (hash: x11)

anyone know how I can check to see if MacMiner is sending and sending x11?

FabulousPanda

I'm not so sure what that means, can you link the pool please?  also please post the output from the miner and let's see whether it looks healthy.

It looks as though it uses an algorithm unsupported by MacMiner - I'll look in to supporting that, did they change it or did it break in a new version of MacMiner or what?

lpgpool

I downloaded MacMiner on 2-24-14 after about 2-3 hours I had about 200 accepted shares

Then it crashed, after re-launching, it never worked the same, I would have to re launch after every 1,800 to 2,500 threads, now my dashboard in the pool doesn't even detect it.

I could send you the 2-24-14 log from my crash reporter from the Mac library if that can help.

The report is big so it would be best to email if you wish to see it, just need an email address

I have no idea if they changed anything, the getting started link I sent you is the same as when I signed up for the pool

 

FabulousPanda

oh dear! Please do send the crash report to john at fabulous panda dot co dot uk

It might be worth deleting 

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/MacMiner/

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.fabulouspanda.macminer.plist

to reset MacMiner

lpgpool

Just wondering if you had time to research the data I sent you to see if you could make CPU MacMiner work In Darkcoin

FabulousPanda

I got the x11 miner compiled so it'll be in the next update

Fabio Gangarossa

Thanks FabulousPanda!

I also need this sooo badly! Thanks for what you are doing for us.

Is there any beta version that is working with x11 miner available already?

Thanks!

lpgpool

Thank you, look forward to update, I hope what I sent was helpful

FabulousPanda

Please give this a shot for now:

http://downloads.fabulouspanda.co.uk/supergminer.zip

unzip that and put it in any recent MacMiner at MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources

then run like 

/Path/To/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/supergminer/bin/sgminer -o pool.server.com:1234 -u username -p password 

and add to that --algorithm <arg> i.e: --algorithm darkcoin

use --help for more info like set intensity with -I <arg> where <arg> is a number between 8 and 31 (higher will freeze up your Mac!)

Hi FabulousPanda,

I've tried but this is the message:

dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../../curl/lib/libcurl.4.dylib

  Referenced from: /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bin/sgminer

  Reason: Incompatible library version: sgminer requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 7.0.0

FabulousPanda

it needs to be in /Resources/sgminer/bin/sgminer

FabulousPanda

* was referring to newer version

It hangs in

Gustavo Caletti Filomena

My mistake.

It's export, not set...

I've copied my windows script.

Gustavo Caletti Filomena

Now, that's an error.
