How do you add nodes with OSX 10.7.5 (HTC mining)

clayton · December 2013

Hi i am trying to set up my miner to mine a new scrypt algo coin. it says that i should add nodes on there web site. ( about 8 )

I have tried numerous ways but had no luck, I have tried making conf files with nodes in & also inputing them into existing conf files but none seam to work ?

I have tried installing different versions of you miner currently 1.3.17

when i try to mine with CPU or CG miner i just generate false shares & the pool doesn't see me as active ( even though it see's i am generating a hashrate).?

Could you tell me :

The best version for me, OSX 10.7.5

what i should be putting in conf files i.e., ( addnode= or { addnode= } etc. ) and where i should stick it?

i hve been putting it next to other conf files in Aplication Support. and trying to add in existing conf files.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks Clayton

You should use 1.5.3 rather than the 1.3 branch - add node is a command for bitcoind or your alt coin daemon (which alt coin is it specifically?)

You shouldn't need to set that up unless you're local mining - what pool are you using?

only the pool should need to add nodes, and you can only add nodes to the wallet

Can you post the output of MacMiner if it fails to work please?

Also, you'll need to check enable scrypt mining in bfgminer settings panel if you're mining with bfgminer window

Hi , Thanks
Is BFG the best miner to use then?

with BFG i Get

it looks as though it's not starting to GPU mine, did you check enable GPU mining? BFG is best for GPU CPU miner for CPU

Hi Thanks, been trying different things.
with enable GPU mining i get.

What other settings do you recommend? i have ticked scrypt & enable GPU now,

It doesn't look like it's working ? has target miss?

Thanks for your help, Cheers

clayton · December 2013

Hi
Seam to be getting lots of
target miss
booo
rejections?

Hope i can get a yay for x mass

FabulousPanda · December 2013

I hate to break it to you but it's starting too look as though your Mac might be a bit old for this. You should try reducing the intensity to a minus value and see whether that lets it find accepted shares - What type of Mac are you using so I can figure whether that's the problem or it's a problem with this alt coin or pool?

clayton · December 2013

Hi it's a
MacBook Pro
15-inch, Mid 2012
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)

Thanks, any suggestions what i could try in the manual flags?
I have tried -n, I don't no any others?

Or do i change the intensity on the scaler bit?

Cheers

Stick with the GUI - you can just use the slider - it might also be worth testing mining Litecoin, I know your GPU can do that!

FabulousPanda · December 2013

I can't figure out the Chinese GUI on that pool to figure out my worker username or password to test this pool with, if you're comfortable with it please email john at fabulouspanda.co.uk a username and worker that you've registered so I can test it for you

Hey no problem these Alt coins can be tricky!

what happened when you tried to email me? You can click on my username and on the right click send me a message and go that way instead. I'll make sure to delete any message with a password in it!

I don’t need your login for the website, but I need the miner username and password so I can start mining, I get 403 forbidden because I don’t have it

GUI just means Graphical User Interface, it’s all the buttons etc. which tell the program what to do.

FabulousPanda · December 2013

Oh hey it formatted your post differently in the email, I thought your username was clayton.11

If I mine with clayton.1 and pass 1 I get all rejected shares too so there must be something about the alt coin which doesn't work with these miners, I think the proof of work is a modified version of scrypt which is why they have their own htcminer for download but I couldn't find the source code for it to compile a version for MacMiner…

If you can find the source code for that alt coin (sorry it all seems to be in Chinese and I'm stuck!) I'll compile support in for it but until then I'd have to say MacMiner won't work with HTC, sorry!

You'd need the HTC source code and if you had that there probably wouldn't be much point right? There's a bit of controversy about 'cpu only' coins too…

clayton · December 2013

Hi i have got the source code, & i emailed it to you to, i wouldn't no how to build a client from it, bit confusing for me?

what controversy is there the about cpu only? is it a power issue?

FabulousPanda · December 2013

I didn't get that email, do you know whether it's the wallet or miner source? The controversy is about whether the creators of such coins are holding back and able to GPU mine themselves - also HTC seemed to have about a dozen total miners on it when I checked it out a few days ago!

Howdy, Stranger!
