MacMiner not mining?

evilbeans124

Ok, so I finally downloaded MacMiner, hoping for it to work. It didn't. Here is the code to what has been repeating a lot of times:

 [2014-03-27 15:40:00] Stratum from pool 0 requested work update                    

5s:  0.0 avg:  0.0 u:  0.0  h/s | A:0 R:0+0(none) HW:0/none

 [2014-03-27 15:40:14] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block     

At one point it says there is a new block, but what happens now? Someone help me please!

I have also tried re-starting this app. It still doesn't work!

Looks like it does not find any miners. What miners do you use and in what window do you mine (FPGA/CPU/GPU/CG)?

evilbeans124

That would make sense.. Unfortunately I am new this business and I do not know how to add any miners. I just pressed the "start" button. Do you know how?

FabulousPanda

What Mac are you using? Most likely your GPU won't support mining, in which case you can use the CPU window

evilbeans124

And how am I able to do that?

I am currently using a Macbook Pro, 13-inch, Mid 2012. I have a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, with 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 of memory. My graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB. Any suggestions?

Now it says this:

that says either a pool hasn't been setup for BTC or something went wrong so set up the pool again

use the view menu to get to the cpu window and use that, you can't GPU mine with intel HD

Now what? 

FabulousPanda

If the connection problems there are preventing your from mining switch pools

evilbeans124

Now I am confused. There's this username and password thing, and I have no idea what it is on other pools.

For a favor, can you please guide me through specific steps on how to do this thing, from the beginning!?

FabulousPanda

what pool are you using? If you want to quick test you can set up 

Bitcoin:

pool:

http://pool.fabulouspanda.co.uk:9332

use BTC address for user/password

Litecoin:

http://pool.fabulouspanda.co.uk:9327

use LTC address for user/password

visit the graphs page on the relevant website and click 'graphs' then look for your reward address on that page to see a graph for your miner.

The pool isn't great for smaller miners but for troubleshooting it's great because I'm running it!

RJ Del Rosa

where i can find my reward address?

FabulousPanda

In your wallet or on your pool account.

FabulousPanda, I have done what you said. I now see these things. Is this normal?

If it helps, the application shows my KH was 0 the whole time

FabulousPanda

It'll show 0 till it solves a share which can be a long time CPU mining as it's so slow unfortunately! Try a lower difficulty pool or coin

how do you change the difficulty pool or coin???

FabulousPanda

Difficulty is set by your pool, with more popular coins it'll tend to be higher, if you click the little cog button on any of the miners you can get the settings including which coin to mine
