New attempt at mining on a mac

For whatever reason, I have updated to OS X mavericks 10.9

and now I can get CGminer to work!

Shout out to D2, my worker is finally "active’’ on your pool!

Can’t wait to see if I can make my first FTC!

let us know please!
i m also interested in starting mining with my mac

Oh dear it seems mining on macs is a real pain in the bum. I know you will have seen this already skydiver but pAst4 may not have.
There is someone with a similar issue here [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,4379.msg35070.html#msg35070]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,4379.msg35070.html#msg35070[/url]

Well the good news is it worked.

But, only for a little bit. After 15 min it shows that my worker is no longer active in the pool :-[

CGminer still shows me hashing, but it stops working with the pool… going to try and see if I can figure this out.

Have you tried running linux instead from a pen drive. It gets rid of the Mac problem.

I would recommend disconnect your HHD insert pen with a Live Linux image created using unetbootin I use either Ubuntu or Linux Mint . then insert another pen (the one which will be the new HDD) and click install on the screen. It should pick up the second pen as a hard drive and install as usual.

This also means u can simply unplug the pen and connect HDD and everything goes back to normal.
