Am I mining? last line is: Probing for an alive pool

Hi! Newbie here - think I'm almost there on my mac, GPU mining. The last lines from output are:

[13:26:07] Startup GPU initialization... Using settings from pool pool.verters.c
om.

  • no errors per say, but just not sure if the pool site I am using is simply not providing me a pool yet. I see no activity from my user account on pool.verters.com, but my terminal is churning away on my mac attempting something, perhaps looking for the pool available and thus, no actual mining taking place yet.

  • Here is my verbose output from the current mining attempt:

  • Unfortunately vertcoin mining is unreliable on a Mac, you're only getting hardware errors which means it's not working. Best I can recommend for now is trying another currency, sorry!
