Oh don’t give up on cgminer.

you’re not in the directory where cgminer is, otherwise ./cgminer would work. Fix that, and you should be golden.

No, I’m on the sofa in front of my computer.

As my attempts at pool mining have failed. Is it possible to solo mine on a Mac just by clicking Start Mining on the wallet? If I do says “Solo mining started.”

Is there a Feathercoin miner that’s nice and easy to use for a Mac running OS X 10.6? I don’t want to change to 10.8 at the moment.

cgminer from [url=http://spaceman.ca/cgminer/]http://spaceman.ca/cgminer/[/url] is the only one I can find.

Initially it looks good and it seems straightforward.

So I try to type into the little text box that pops up that says “Enter any command-line options here” (it’s not possible to cut and paste) .

Using my own pool worker details I type:

./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://www.feathercoiners.com:3333 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password

…and it doesn’t fit.

So I type it into Terminal instead. It says ‘command not found’.

I’m stuck now.

Hi hangercure,

Does GUIminer-scrypt work with OS X 10.6?

Hi,

I should have said hello before posting elsewhere. This is to correct my mistake.

Cryptocurrencies might be the next big thing. They may turn out to be different from what we have so far, but it’s good to have the opportunity to be involved from early on.

I’m interested in Feathercoins because they are at an early stage and seem accessible.

I’d like to try mining. I’m not sure I’ll be successful though. The subject is changing so fast and there’s so much information online - most of it way too technical for me. I find it nigh on impossible to separate the relevant from the irrelevant, the current from the outdated or the correct from the erroneous. Which I suppose is to be expected for an emergent system.

Hi,

It seems very simple but…

What does this mean: Command line options for a start:

And this: “–scrypt -o [url=http://pool.maeh.org:19327/]http://pool.maeh.org:19327/[/url] -u YOUR_FEATHERCOIN_MINER_ADDRESS -p x”

Where does it go?

It doesn’t fit in the little text box that pops up on double clicking cgminer for Mac OS X.

If I put it in Terminal it says ‘command not found’.

Should the line have anything else to make it work?

Should it include all the spaces, dashes and quotation marks?
