If you are interested in my worker stats you can check them out here: ĭue to me not wanting to risk anything going wrong I will be mostly mining in evenings and probably on the weekend. I will add future results and share my experiences in this thread. If you are interested and/or made any experiences with mining cryptocurrency on mac you are welcome to share it here. You can increase things like Intensity on your own risk since the system will be put under more stress. Other than that I'm using the recommended settings. If you aren't sure wether the correct GPU is used you can read the answer here to find out ways to make sure the correct GPU is used:
#MACMINER SETUP FOR DOGECOIN MANUAL#
By default the internal GPU gets used too but you can choose to use the eGPU only by typing "-device 1" in the manual flags like so: If you have success with other algorithm pls share them in this thread.ĮGPU detection works just fine. The one I'm most successful with right now is Keccak. I have had medium success with getting most of the algorithm to work. For the username you just enter the bitcoin adress that you get from nicehash. Next up you choose the statrum server from this list. Instead of mining a profitable coin you sell your hashing power (A rate at which you find coins) and get paid out in bitcoin. Nicehash is a service that offers you the possibility of renting out your GPUs compute power.
#MACMINER SETUP FOR DOGECOIN SOFTWARE#
The software I'm using is MacMiner (1.5.57) which is a GUI miner that is based on other popular mining software which is terminal only. This is macOS only (in my case High Sierra 10.13 Beta 17A330h) Getting a RX 580 was a pain and when I finally got one coupled with a Mantiz I wanted to know whether I could get some of the money back I payed for this setup. If I haven't scared you off and you're still reading, here's what you need to do to begin mining for Bitcoin on your Mac.We all know and love (i.e.
#MACMINER SETUP FOR DOGECOIN PRO#
It's possible that the new Mac Pro (with it's dual AMD FirePro GPUs) might be able to mine for Bitcoin profitably, no one's benchmarked its hashing performance yet. The hashing difficulty has increased to a point where you'll spend more on electricity than you'll get in Bitcoin in return. While it's technically possible to mine for BTC using your Mac's GPU, it's not profitable.
#MACMINER SETUP FOR DOGECOIN HOW TO#
Let's get down to business and how to mine Bitcoin using your Mac.įirst, some bad news. Not too shabby.īut enough on the background of Bitcoin, there's plenty of places to read about that. When I finally got around to buying some Bitcoin (on November 10) it had jumped to $460/BTC, and as I write this on November 26 the price has skyrocketed to $920/BTC.
In May 2013 it was selling for around $200/BTC. When I first researched Bitcoin (at the end of 2012) the price of a single Bitcoin was $13.50. Bitcoin was the currency of choice at former Internet drug bazaar Silk Road and remains the currency of choice of crypto locker hackers that hold people's computers hostage for money. regulatory power houses (including the Treasury and Department of Justice) agreed. Senate hearing on the Potential Risks, Threats, and Promises of Virtual Currencies (which aired on C-SPAN). Bitcoin is a crypto currency that's been exploding in value since the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke said that it " may hold long-term promise" at last week's U.S.
