I wouldn't be surprised if there were a problem mining on nvidia and AMD cards in the same instance. You could try running one in the GPU window and one in the ASIC window with manual flags for the GPU. However it's impossible to GPU mine Bitcoin…

Have you set up your pool? That file should be created when you set up a SHA256 pool. I'd say you might be better of using the gridseed for scrypt but I'll leave the profitability assessment to you.
-
I'll probably have a go at compiling xmr-stak for cpu only today and I'll set donations to 0 when I do.
I don't think the xmr-stak-cpu version I compiled will work on older versions of macOS as it was compiled with libhttpd and that relie…
-
Sorry you didn't say what program you were using and I just assumed MacMiner! I tested xmr-stak-cpu with that pool and it didn't throw an error. Can you post the pool config here as is in your config.txt?
-
It's beyond me unfortunately, I did what I could for Mac support on the sgminer githubs but it needs someone with the kernel programming knowhow to take a look at it.
-
I do have a developer ID I sign with but the rules for gatekeeper signing apps got stricter for signing bundled frameworks recently so newer versions aren't properly signed and it would be a pain in the ass the change the structure of MacMiner to…
-
The miner in MacMiner is an older one forked from pooler's cpuminer which is why it slots nicely in to the app, xmr-stak uses a different conf setup hence not being in MacMiner. I might put together a GUI for XMR at some point as people seem to l…

Do you mean you think wall street involvement will limit the price somehow, or that you don't think it has the potential for a larger market cap even when big players are getting in? I think only doubling in price is pessimistic if hedge funds et…
-
What did you set the intensity to?
-
This means there's an error with the 1782nd character in the conf file, did you edit it manually? If so it's usually a curly quote that got in there by autocorrect.
-
The XMR CPU miner in MacMiner is not the xmr-stak-cpu miner, it's an older one i forget from where! The separately compiled xmr-stak-amd has donations set to 0, the xmr-stak-cpu was compiled with donations left on to the original developer.
-
Getting sgminer to compile for macOS was a matter of applying some quick fixes to the code on GitHub and not all of the algorithms work... unfortunately it looks as though lbry is one of those!
-
clock_gettime is not defined in older versions of macOS so that's causing the issue here, you can compile the miner without libmicrohttpd though and it should work for you.
-
xmr uses a really harsh mining algorithm so I doubt you can get it to leave you with a very usable computer if you're GPU mining. You can get away with CPU mining though and still maintain usability. Not sure what the problem with the pool is tho…
-
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!
-
What's your pool setup? Check the config file is as expected too.
-
It looks like it uses XMR so I'd say use these:

There are compile instructions for cpu and amd here:

You have it set up to use only your second CPU core:
"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
],Hence 1/4 the hash rate.
{ "low_power_mode" : false…
-
I believe d-note uses scrypt so you would set it up for that, the same way as for Litecoin mining.
-
I've heard that setting your intensity to half your GPU RAM is supposedly ideal so in your case that would be 1024, however trial and error is probably the best approach.
GPU hashing will severely impact on the usability of the machine wh…
-
What did you change in the config.txt? You could just start over with a fresh copy. Or post the config.txt here and the output of
sysctl -n hw.ncpu
in Terminal which counts the number of cores in your machine.
-
GPU mining impacts a lot more on the system usability than CPU mining and this is to be expected on a lot of set ups, I set the intensity in the supplied config file very low so if your system is totally unusable with these settings it's probably…
-
This means something is wrong with the 1749th character of your config.txt
Most commonly the issue with the config file is that when you edit it in TextEdit, auto-correct replaces a quotation mark with a curly quote.
This can be a…
-
You need to run it from the same folder as per the instructions, in Terminal:
cd /Applications/xmr-stak-amd-macOS
press enter then type
./xmr-stak-amd
press enter and it'll load the config.txt
cd/Applicatio…

Ack, okay here's a version compiled without libmicrohttpd which means it doesn't have the web interface but should work on older systems:
http://dow… -
Thanks for the feedback, please redownload the binary and try it again, I've recompiled the included libmicrohttpd to hopefully support 10.6+
-
If you click the 'Go' menu in the finder and select 'Go to Folder' and put /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/MacMiner/ in it'll take you there
Did that happen after setting up via the legacy config as well?
-
I don't think that's a problem, it's getting more work from the pool than it can work on at once which shouldn't cause any issues.
-
Why did you decide to use the legacy pool config and did the problem occur immediately afterwards or did you then edit the config manually? I wonder whether I should remove the legacy setup option... it could be broken.
You could either m…
