Setting up MobileMiner

OldTimer · February 2014

How do you add machines to the iOS MobileMiner app?

FabulousPanda · February 2014

When you open MobileMiner you should get an email address and key to use in the preferences of MacMiner

Anything that shows in the API Output window should show up in MobileMiner

I'm at the same window but every time I enter my email/app key, it wont save and wont show up in mobile miner. Any suggestions to make sure it saves?

FabulousPanda · May 2014

That's not good - does it show up until you restart MacMiner? Can you try using cmd-J or the preferences menu item to open/close the window, also press enter when you've finished entering text please?

rginsbur · May 2014

I press enter after i enter it but it doesnt seem like it does anything. So when I close macminer and reopen, its not there.

FabulousPanda · May 2014

Did you try closing the window with the preferences button in the menu bar or cmd-, (sorry not cmd-J!) after entering the info?

rginsbur · May 2014

That doesn't seem to close it. Thats command and the minus symbol?

FabulousPanda · May 2014

command and comma the minus there is used as a dash, very unclear in retrospect!

rginsbur · May 2014

Tried that. It closes the prefrences box, but my machine does not appear in the mobileminer web app or phone app

FabulousPanda · May 2014

Does it stay in MacMiner on reopen? It might take a minute to show up in MobileMiner

rginsbur · May 2014

It's not showing up when I restart macminer

FabulousPanda · May 2014

it should theoretically be saving as soon as you change the text - what version of Mac OS X are you running?

rginsbur · May 2014

10.9.2

Do you reccomend unstalling and reinstalling macminer maybe?

FabulousPanda · May 2014

maybe with app zapper or something but try just deleting

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/MacMiner

then opening again

FabulousPanda · May 2014

oh sorry ignore the last one it's

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

rginsbur · May 2014

I can't seem to find that file. How do I acsess it

FabulousPanda · May 2014

If you're in Finder use the 'Go' menu and 'go to folder' and put

/Users/username/Library/Preferences

in there replacing username with your username

rginsbur · May 2014

Got it. Did that but still not showing up when I restart macminer...

FabulousPanda · May 2014

That won't make it show up - that deletes all the preferences - you have to try setting it again afterwards

rginsbur · May 2014

I just tried to re-enter my email and the App code, save, and then restart the application but still nothing there, online , or on my phone

FabulousPanda · May 2014

I've tested it and it does appear that the saving as you type is not working so I'll look in to that, but it does appear to save when I close the preferences window with the cmd-comma combo.. try entering the info again then just use the combo a couple of times?

rginsbur · May 2014

Still nothing. just comes up blank. The miner will run and mine but I can't monitor it online

rginsbur · May 2014

I am running CPU miner. Does that make a diffrent?

FabulousPanda · May 2014

oh man I should have asked that right off. I don't know why the email and app key aren't showing up for you after app restart, but CPU miner doesn't yet feed MobileMiner anyway - all the other windows do and CPU will be added but it doesn't use the same API so it has to be done differently!

rginsbur · May 2014

Gotcha, that makes sense. So is there any way for me to see how much I am mining? I've tried to use use

http://pool.fabulouspanda.co.uk:9332/static/graphs.html?Day

but it's not 100% working

FabulousPanda · May 2014

There's no use trying to CPU mine BTC anymore, the difficulty is just waaaay too high - try QuarkCoin or VertCoin maybe!

rginsbur · May 2014

Right now im trying to just get into the "Coin" world.

How do you recommend starting to mine the Quarkcoin or Vertcoin?

FabulousPanda · May 2014

well, you need to find a pool. For VTC you can use

http://pool.fabulouspanda.co.uk:9171

with your vertcoin reward address as user/pass, but the difficulty would be an issue there too - it might be a better idea to choose a pool from this list

http://vertcoin.org/pools.html

rginsbur · May 2014

Just made an account with pool.verters.com but when I try to run mac miner with my pool.verters.com worker name/password it shuts down and attempts every 30 seconds to mine.

What is the correct Pool: if thats the site I'm using

FabulousPanda · May 2014

stratum+tcp://pool.verters.com:3333

rginsbur · May 2014

Still failing

Howdy, Stranger!
