  • P2Pool is different to most pools and luck is a higher factor, especially when you get down to lower speeds - at the moment you'd need at least 25Gh to ensure regular payouts. You can check the Graphs page of the pool to check out your hash rate and…
  • The problem is a mix of low speed and bad luck - with current difficulty you should be finding a payout share every 3 days or so, so you must have had very bad luck not to have found one for that long. Do you check it's running OK every day?
  • 53 is fine, but it looks to me as though there's some kind of problem with the controller board on the unit. If you post the same logs you put here they'll see that it's getting confused and hopefully fulfil the warrantee… Let us know how you get on!
  • That doesn't sound good, what temperature is it running at before that happens? Someone on BFL forums recommended letting them cool down for a few hours - personally I'd get in touch with BFL and ask for a replacement…
  • Bitcoin-Qt is the GUI for bitcoind which is the binary that does all the work

    If you're running Bitcoin-Qt bitcoind will be running but you might need to edit this file

  • You would see payout but whether it's worth the risk I can't decide for you… it's probably not worth the electricity usage :S
  • The rates there have fallen dramatically due to high luck that you had to begin with, it calculates the speed by how many accepted shares you have so if you have more that expected in the first few seconds it'll report and unrealistically high rate.…
  • Hey, 

    Support is still new and I need to make it clearer - MobileMiner will pick up anything in the API Output window (anything coming from the cg or fgpa/asic window)

    You can make it pick up the bfgmi…
  • You'd need TH to solo mine - you can check the specifics at bitcoinx.com/profit

    here's a guide though:

    SOLO MINING
  • Ah. yeah sorry about that, It :: should :: start working again if you quit and reopen MacMiner - this is going to be one of the primary focuses of the next few updates.. Please do let me know of any other bugs if you run in to them!
  • Weird, is the API Output data refreshing every few seconds? There are a couple of instances in which the window doesn't handle unexpected data properly - it's still quite new - but it shouldn't be that buggy! 

    The output does lo…
  • Hey, 

    The graph stats show a day by default and you haven't been mining that long which is why the average is so low, the hourly graph is better:
  • OK I'll look in to whether the quota set up of pools could be causing this, thanks! How's the load balancing working out by the way, I've heard it's quite buggy?
  • Right now I'm indecisive, I can't reliably calculate how much the difficulty is going to increase over the next 3-5 months and it's going to increase a lot with the next generation of TeraHash miners arrival. I'm sorely tempted by one of the
  • Is this a crash that happened randomly after three days of use and then prevented you reopening the app without deleting the app support files? Can you let me know what fields in MacMiner you've set please? Also please upgrade to 1.5.2 as the proble…
  • Thanks for the report, are you connecting to the knc over vpn or what? And when you say the memory leak stops - does all the backed up memory instantly get released as well? 

    This article shows you how you can 'trust' certain ap…
  • Yeah that's a bad rate, that's the fastest you'll get out of your cpu and I'm guessing given that you won't get much out of the GPU, sorry to say! Your address is there now - takes longer for very slow miners :S
  • That's normal for a while after you start, I guess it still says 'Starting' - it takes a long time to solve your first share cpu mining, but once you do it'll show you the hash rate. Right now it's showing you a hash rate for each cpu thread and you…
  • The default intensity is quite low because too high will freeze your mac but try putting it up a little at a time until the computer lags too much - There's definitely no point BTC mining on CPU/GPU but Litecoin and things like dogecoin you can Mine…
  • Did you check enable GPU mining? I'd switch to LTC for CPU/GPU mining - CPU Miner should only work for LTC!
  • No problem, I know it's disconcerting and unfortunate, I was sent charts of what a jalapeño was getting in payout from it's pool and it was really fractional! TH is becoming the new GH
  • There's no point GPU mining BTC anymore, you just won't earn anything, try Litecoin maybe?
  • How long have you given it? ICA can take a long time to find a share - it looks as though it was just starting to there though?
  • If you're trying to mine LTC make sure you checked use scrypt in the miner settings!
  • No problem! Yeah if you just set up with your LTC address just leave it running and keep an eye on the two graphs below your LTC address on this page:

  • ah sorry I meant -n not -d

    If it says 0 GPU devices you can't mine on your MacBook

    I'm not sure whether the 4000 works at all for it with Mac OS - some people have claimed that it works on 10.9 Maveric…
  • These days you need a powerful dedicated ASIC device to make a profit mining bitcoins, so it's all down to specific ASIC and purchase date/cost. 

    I haven't done the maths so much for Litecoin - I wouldn't expect it's profitable …
  • What GPU does it have? If it's integrated graphics it won't be able to GPU mine but 39kh isn't bad for cpu mining

    Is there anything in the bfgminer log you didn't post such as anything to do with opencl? You can try putting -d i…
  • Yeah that's pretty slow! CPU/GPU mining does pose a risk to hardware so in your position it may be best to leave it be for now…
  • cpuminer uses the CPU and bfgminer uses the GPU so you may want to use both but not all Macs can GPU mine - it depends what kind of mac you have. The speed in cpuminer should update once you've found your first share.
