Running Mac Miner and Asteroid at same time

BMPenguin

Quick background:

I'd been mining Dogecoin for a while but decided to stop, however to be able to convert them to BTC I need at least 1000.

So I continued using MacMiner for Dogecoin but I wanted to also mine bitcoin at the same time. So I downloaded Asteroid, finally got it to work (because I never previously had any luck), and began using that to mine bitcoin. It seems like ever since I started running Asteroid, Mac Miner will unexpectedly quit. The program won't quit, it will just stop mining. It doesn't matter whether I use Asteroid for BTC and MacMiner for DOGE or vice versa, whichever currency I am using MacMiner with, MacMiner won't mine.

Is there a known conflict between these two? (Or an unknown conflict but that could be the reason?)

Thanks.

I should mention, I know it's tacky to mention Asteroid on here, and I do appreciate all the help given here. I just want to get out of DOGE as quickly as possible and figured running them both at the same time was the easiest way

Are you using USB mining hardware? Asteroid disables the Mac OS USB Serial drivers but that's the only conflict I'm aware of - sound troubling!

You can run two instances of MacMiner at once btw
