HELP!How to make macminner working?configuration?

  I need to update the documentation - the fabulous panda P2Pool nodes closed some time ago and MacMiner is no longer being so actively developed. 

  
  

  That said, CPU mining Bitcoin is impossible these days due to the hugely increased difficulty since ASIC mining. And with only two CPU cores available for mining, you'll struggle even with alt coins.

  
  

  If you would like to test mining more in theory than for profit, try replacing the P2Pool address with this:

  http://69.164.211.28:9332
  

  
  

  At CPU speeds though, you won't really get anywhere, and would be better off trying an alt currency such as litecoin or vertcoin.

  Right, the CPU is the main processor in any computer, the GPU is what turns the code in to what you see on the display (but also way faster for mining) and FPGA/ASIC devices are dedicated mining devices which either attach via USB or the network and you access them via a web interface.

  What is the error message on quit? You need a litecoin payout address and to set up a scrypt/litecoin pool

  
  

  In pool setup set up a pool for scrypt and use 

  litecoin-p2pool.com:9327
  

  with your litecoin payout address as username and password

  That means it's working - but still you're not likely to get much/any litecoin because you need more power than you have. If you're lucky, you'll get something! But you'd have to be lucky.

  hey,
  
  I am new and trying to sort this out. Following the instrucitons, but I keep getting a request fail, doesn't seem to matter which pool I join. I have tried the litecoin one that you quoted earlier.
  
  I just end up with this:
  
  [2017-07-30 13:30:33] Binding thread 3 to cpu 3
  [2017-07-30 13:30:33] 4 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
  [2017-07-30 13:30:33] Binding thread 0 to cpu 0
  [2017-07-30 13:30:33] Binding thread 2 to cpu 2
  [2017-07-30 13:30:33] Binding thread 1 to cpu 1
  [2017-07-30 13:31:03] HTTP request failed: Connection timed out after 30001 milliseconds
  [2017-07-30 13:31:03] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds
  
  
  I have a selected pool and then I downloaded the litecoin wallet. I got myself an address and added that to both the username and password.
  
  Any Ideas?
  
  Cheers

  That pool no longer exists. Try this one maybe https://litecoinpool.org/help

  Hi..i am a new user here. As per my knowledge PU mining Bitcoin is impossible these days due to the hugely increased difficulty since ASIC mining. And with only two CPU cores available for mining, you'll struggle even with alt coins.
