Each miner window has a full set of tailored options for ease of use and there is a detailed API Output window which even allows you to monitor other miners on the network that are using cgminer or bfgminer. This gives you the flexibility to choose whichever runs faster for your setup, whether you're CPU, GPU, FPGA or ASIC mining Bitcoin, Litecoin or any compatible Alt Coin - including DogeCoin, VertCoin, QuarkCoin and MaxCoin - faster than an asteroid. Pretty and PowerfulĪll three of the most relevant mining backends are included in this mining software, bfgminer, cgminer and cpuminer.
#Xmr macminer how to#
Dont know how to mine Bitcoins on Mac OS X? Don't worry! You'll be up and running in no time.
#Xmr macminer install#
This means you can set up and start mining in seconds, without worrying about complex install processes traditionally associated with mac miners. Click & mine in moments.īuilt as a friendly GUI for the relatively complex array of command line Bitcoin mining software for Mac, MacMiner is the first 100% native Bitcoin miner for Mac. With the most powerful bitcoin and litecoin mining backends available on the Mac, Mac miners now have a user friendly application which even allows you to run the backends in the Terminal if you just want an easy installation of bfgminer, cgminer or cpuminer (minerd). Simple like iOS, yet powerful like a Mac, this app gives you all the options.
#Xmr macminer for free#
Įdit the config.Mine Bitcoin and Litecoin on Mac OS X - for free and DogeCoin, VertCoin, QuarkCoin, MaxCoin, more Then cd to the xmr-stak-cpu folder and run cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl. Use homebrew as outlined above to install libmicrohttpd and openssl but also run brew install hwloc You can just download the zip as you don't need to get a particular branch for the CPU miner to work If you need any more help please check out Now you can run the xmr-stak-amd binary in Terminal and it'll connect to your pool and start mining straight away. Make sure to change the pool details in the config.txt file to your pool details too and you'll be good to go! Move the config.txt file from the parent directory in to the bin folder and edit it so the lines below look like this: "gpu_thread_num" : 1, Ī folder called bin will now contain a binary called xmr-stak-amd which is what you can use to GPU mine XMR/Monero Run brew install git libmicrohttpd opensslĬmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl. You'll need to install the dependencies libhttpd and openssl - I used homebrew which you can get from If you need any more help running the miner, please check out the forum at Ĭompiling the older xmr-stak-amd and xmr-stak-cpu for macOSįor AMD GPU mining, you can find the code for a miner at To compile for AMD or Nvidia only without the cpu mining capability, add the flag -DCPU_ENABLE=OFF to the cmake command. DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DCUDA_ENABLE=OFF -DOpenCL_ENABLE=OFF To compile for CPU mining only use the following commands in the Terminal app: brew install hwloc libmicrohttpd gcc openssl cmakeĬmake. DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOpenCL_ENABLE=OFF To compile for Nvidia GPUs and CPU mining use the following commands in the Terminal app: brew tap caskroom/driversīrew install hwloc libmicrohttpd gcc openssl cmakeĬmake. The last command starts the miner and will present you with a setup dialog where you can enter your pool details. To compile for AMD GPUs and CPU mining use the following commands in the Terminal app: brew install cmake openssl hwloc libmicrohttpdĬmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DCUDA_ENABLE=OFF. These instructions require homebrew, which you can get from
The code for the miner can be found here: The first tutorial here will focus on the newer, merged miner, and below that will remain the instructions for the older miners from the original tutorial. Note that there were originally separate projects for GPU and CPU mining XMR which have been merged together. You can also buy Monero/XMR by clicking this link:īut if you'd rather compile the code and mine Monero yourself, here are some simple instructions:
