MacMiner crashes on startup

myopenidmyopenid
edited March 2014 in Support
MacMiner crashes on startup for me. Below is the stack trace. Any suggestions on how I can get it working again?

I have the stack trace but I can't post it here because it's too big. Here's the first bit:

    Thanks for the report, hopefully this will be fixed soon, deleting 

    /Users/username/Library/Application Support/MacMiner

    should fix temporarily!

    I'm having the same issue. I tried deleting the folder you suggested and it worked one but now it wont. It keeps saying that it's missing something from that folder. So, either I leave the folder there and it won't launch or I delete it and it won't work. Please fix this soon, this is the only mac mining software that I can find that even kind of works.

    Thanks for getting back, FP.  There is no such folder on my hard drive, so I can not delete it.  In fact, on my iMac: hard drive/Library/Application Support/Macromedia - but no MacMiner folder.  I may have deleted it in an attempt to start anew at some point, but there is no installer from the zip file, just the app, so maybe I missed a step somewhere….

    And here is the latest crash report:

    Very sorry I've been too busy to develop lately but this is the top of the list, if deleting that folder then if necessary restarting doesn't help please try appzapper.com

    Can't see your crash report Jeffox!

    there has never been a folder inside app support ... i have checked since the beginning ... i also deleted the prefs file inside of library and re-installed older versions, rebooted numerous times, etc., to no avail ... it has never started even once ... 10.9.2

    also please check for 

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

    I :: think :: the versions up to 1.5.12 should be free of this problem, what's the earliest you've tried?

    Damn, I still can't seem to find any reliable data points for the cause of this problem then! So you've tried at least 1 version on the 1.4 branch?

    Please create the file 

    /Users/username/Library/Application Support/MacMiner/bfgurls.conf

    and put the text

    {
    "pools" : [
    {
    "user" : "username",
    "pass" : "password"
    }
    ]

    }

    in the file - do you know how to use vi at the command line? That would be the best way to create the file…

    Then see whether it'll launch for you…

    if not I can get you up and running the backend miner at the command line if you like?

    cool, I guess any version is fine to test with - I'm a bit confused about this problem as I've never yet managed to replicate it and it always seems to have a different cause and solution!

    do you want me to actually put my forum user name and password in or leave it literally as user and password ... ?

    you can replace all the pool info with yours, leave it as is or replace user and password with your BTC address - the pool there is a P2Pool node

    make sure auto replace doesn't swap the normal quotes for curly ones!

    the main reason for the info is to get the app started then you can set up the pool again

    if 1.4 doesn't work for you I'm pretty stuck on this, it seems like two different crashes if it opens for a while without the file but not at all with it! If 1.4 doesn't work I'll give instructions for running in Terminal

    with my BTC address?  as in, the address established in my .conf file?  or do you mean my credentials at a pool?  i'm confused ...  perhaps macminer requires that my bitcoin.conf file be set up?

  • oemb1905oemb1905
    terminal instructions would be great.  no change when i put in my "credentials" ... however, not sure what credentials i am supposed to put into this .conf file for Mac Miner ... see above post

    I had thought it only crashed for a subsection of people who had already set up the pools and thus those files in app, but now I'm just confused.

    Ignore the credentials, you can leave the info as is and use your own pool info if you get the app started

    assuming you have MacMiner called MacMiner in your Applications folder and you just want to use USB devices to mine run like this in terminal:

    /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/bin/bfgminer -o http://pool.address.com:1234 -u username -p password -S all

    yeah ... i have been mining for a pool at BTC Guild, but never even got that far with MacMiner ... I was mostly hoping to establish MacMiner on my personal PC as a worker at BTC guild once my new ant device arrives ... I am cautiously optimistic right now because the second to oldest version is up and running ... thanks for the terminal instructions and i will use that if anything goes awry again i suppose ... i really appreciate the software / GUI and the help ...

    no problem, let me know if you need any more help, I will keep investigating this issue, it would be great if you could let me know the newest version that works for you so I can look for changes in the code around then!

    running stably so far ... unable to confirm that connected with pool ...

    will do RE: newest version ... once the ant miner comes, i suspect things will work better.

    I got everything working ... for SOME reason, once I got the old version stable on three different machines, I was able to re-install on one machine, then another, and then another ... with the pre-beta version.  Now installing the MobileMiner app ... not sure what finally allowed it to work - NOT AT ALL.  I was persistent, restarted a lot, downloaded new versions and old versions of the miners, tried using them from the command line ... and then suddenly they all worked.  Alls well that ends well ... and now that all is working, I have three Litecoin workers doing 50khs total or so ... thanks man.  I will eventually use when my new AntBit comes for some BTC mining as well ... thanks oemb1905

    I have found a way to solve this problem and might explain a lot about what's going wrong to the developer.

    The first time I launch any version it always works. However, when the bfgurl.conf file has been created, which happens when you save your pool info, all goes to ruins. And you need to appzap or manually remove everything and start over again.

    To circumvent that problem, I additionally went to the Preferences -> Pool -> Run Legacy Pool Config. There I filled in the same details and clicked save and start. So this creates something additional that a new user normally doesn't add and the app crashes due to the missing file. I don't know what it is, I don't have time to figure that out anymore now (as I'm writing a mini guide for our new miner to work with your app). My first guess would be the additional ltcurls.conf file in Application Support.

    Hope it's fixed before the instruction go public :)

    And thank you for this great app. Good luck.

    Thanks for the continued reports, there will be a minor update to the beta this weekend to maintain MobileMiner support going past May and there's going to be another attempt at these issue in there :S
