Did you get it set up with the CPU Miner window and you specifically want to use cg or bfg instead?

FabulousPanda · April 2014

CPU Miner flags should be like

--freq=800 -G /dev/cu.usbmodem142431

with your devices path

i can't see my grid seed in de finder menu.

i have markt devices in the preference menu in finder.

FabulousPanda · April 2014

open Terminal and type

ls -l /dev/cu.*

then press enter and it'll show you your devices

i found my grid seed now, but when i put --freq=800 -G, macminer say "unrecognized option"?

after -G you need to put the path to your device revealed in the last step

i have done this, is it so hard to setup the grid seed on a mac?

on windows it cost me 2 minutes and the miner worked.

i use osx all the time, normally i don't use windows

i have done this, and i will not work

I had no problem getting the MacMiner-gridseed8 to mine LTC with a 5 chip GridSeed as explained here.

Would I be better using CG or BFG?

Does MacMiner.app-1.5.19rc1 also include the GridSeed support?

I'm afraid that due to a silly call I made to start a big bit of coding just before have severe time restriction there hasn't been much progress on the app front. Please replace

MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer

with this one:

http://downloads.fabulouspanda.co.uk/bfgminer-gridseed.zip

in whichever version you're using, and use the flag

-S all

This is the up to date bfgminer from github as of 13th April

Howdy, Stranger!
