Cpu Miner For Mac Os

HoneyMiner, a desktop-based crypto mining application, has released a new version for MacOS users. HoneyMiner, which launched in July 2018, accesses your CPU or GPU and uses it to mine various. Advanced features include auto switching, auto tuning, monitoring, auto exchanging and full remote management. Choose an optimised OS and firmware or a full GUI miner. Cudo’s machine learning miner is both simple-to-use and advanced in control, enabling you to fine-tune your mining for maximum returns in multiple currency options.

XMRig uses separate miners for CPU and GPU, you need to download a CPU and GPU miner separately and run two separate instances on your computer.

Native binaries on Mac OS are not available for XMRIG.You will need to compile yourself, follow these instructions:

BLOC Mining Network¶

You can find a complete list of the BLOC mining pools available on the BLOC MINING section of our website.

Make sure you have a wallet¶

If you have not yet downloaded and ran the BLOC software to sync the blockchain and create a wallet, you need to create your wallet before start mining.

Choose your mining pool¶

You can find a complete list of the BLOC mining pools available on the BLOC MINING section of our website. We suggest you to select the nearest mining pool following your location for the best mining experience and results.

Default Developer Donation¶

By default, the XMRIG will donate 5% of the hashpower (5 minutes in 100 minutes) to XMRIG developers pool.If you want to change that, edit config.json before you start mining.We strongly recommend to leave this donation fee at least 1% to help the XMRIG developers by providing regular updates.

Compile and installing for Mac OS¶

Assuming you already have Homebrew installed, the installation of dependencies is pretty straightforward and will generate the xmr-stak binary in the bin/ directory.

CPU Mining¶

To compile yourself xmrig make sure you visit the Mac OS Build Instructions and follow this guide:

1. Open the terminal and install dependencies by running this command-

2. Clone the package-

   git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git

3. Make a directory-

   mkdir xmrig/build

4. Move over there-

   cd xmrig/build

5. Check build configuration

   • Make sure you check the Ubuntu Build Instructions
   • Including the Additional CMake options

6. Run cmake-

   This option will run cmake without Disable SSL/TLS support. This means you can not mine from a pool using https.

   cmake .. -DWITH_TLS=OFF

   Example:

   • If you have installed previously openssl. Verify the path of OPENSSL on your computer and set the path like this while running cmake ..

   cmake .. -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2n -DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2n/lib

   Example:

   • If you get an error regarding the DUV_LIBRARY you can specify the path like this:

   cmake .. -DUV_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/libuv/1.23.2 -DUV_LIBRARY=/usr/local/Cellar/libuv/1.23.2/lib/libuv.a -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2n -DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2n/lib

7. Finish building it-

   make

8. You should see a result like this:

9. xmrig will now be located in /home/user/xmrig/build/

10. Type-

    ./xmrig

11. Download this config file example Check xmrig Setup and Configuration

12. If you see something like this, that means it’s working and you are mining BLOC!

GPU Mining¶

XMRig needs to be compiled for nVidia and AMD. Instructions for compiling are linked below(Ubuntu):

XMRig Setup and Configuration¶

1. Open the xmrig-config-sample.json file with Notepad

2. Find and change the following lines:

   • 'url: 'pool.bloc.money:4444' Change to: [pooladdress:port]. You'll need to choose a pool to mine towards. You can check the full list here. Make sure to keep the 's!

   • 'user: 'YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS' Instead of [wallet address], simply paste your BLOC wallet's address. Make sure to keep the '!

   • 'donate-level': 5, Change to: 1. Changing this to 0 will set the default donate-level to 5

3. Save the file

Start mining¶

if you want to mine with both your CPU and your GPU you must have both programs open at the same time!

• start ./xmrig if you're mining with your CPU,
• ./xmrig-amd. if you're mining with an AMD GPU,
• or ./xmrig-nvidia if you're mining with a nVidia GPU.

xmrig should start by default using the config.json placed near the xmrig binary.

You can build different config files following different configuration and then start xmrig like this:

How to check hashrate and results in xmrig¶

To check the hashrate and results in xmrig you have 2 options. Command line option and HTML reports.

Command Line option¶

• Type h in the command line window to display your hashrate

• Type p to pause the mining.

• Type r to resume mining.

HTTP API¶

If you build miner from source, libmicrohttpd dependency is added. If you want use API you need to choose a port where the internal HTTP server will listen for incoming connections.

Exemple code to add in the config.json

Make sure you check the API details from the official XMRig Github repository.

Let's take the port number as 16000 and your IP address as 88.20.105.14 as an example.

This is how it looks :

How to check your payouts¶

You get paid out based upon what the pool sets the min payout amount. A pool’s min payout amount can vary from pool to pool. Visit the mining pool you are mining from to checkout your actual payouts.

Example if you are mining from POOL.BLOC.MONEY¶

• Go to the POOL.BLOC.MONEY.

• Scroll down to Your Stats & Payment History

• Enter your BLOC address
• Click search
• All your payments will be displayed here

Custom config file¶

Use config.xmrig.com to generate, edit or share configurations.

Mining with XMRIG¶

XMRIG gives too many options for tuning to get the best results out of your hardware. By default the miner creates config file for CPU, NVIDIA and AMD GPU. You can edit the values within these text files to customize your mining options.

For more information on XMRIG make sure you visit the Official XMRIG Github repository

Downloading Honeyminer takes less than a minute and only requires a valid email address.

Become an expert miner

Honeyminer’s proprietary algorithm will scan through dozens of cryptocurrencies to identify the most profitable coins to mine at any given time.

Stick with it

All mined coins will be automatically converted to Bitcoin and your balance will increase daily. You can keep it as an investment or sell it for cash anytime you want.

Earnings depend on the power of your graphics card as well as overall market conditions. Newer PCs can make anywhere from $15-$75* per GPU per month.

See the potential if you HODL based on annual bitcoin growth rates:

Your peace of mind is our highest priority and we take pride in the fact that we are setting the highest standard for mining security.

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and aggressive encryption to ensure that information passing through our servers is anonymous and protected.

Honeyminer offers 2-factor authentication to safeguard your account. We enforce strict password policies, smart session monitoring, and suspicious login activity monitors.

Every line of code is audited and compiled in-house by our security experts. No risk of malicious code distributed by anonymously-produced mining software.

We store virtually all of our user’s digital assets in cold storage (not connected to internet), protecting against even the most sophisticated online threats.

How do I get started with Honeyminer?

It’s super straightforward, download Honeyminer and then run the program after locating it in your downloads folder. After running it your computer will start mining, its that simple!

How much can I earn?

It depends on the power of your computer specifically the graphics card(s). Computers built for gaming or newer PC’s bought in the last year will make the most. Older computers and laptops will be able to mine as well, however not at the same levels as newer ones. On the high end, newer computers can earn $1-3 per day per GPU. (based on today’s value of bitcoin)

Will Honeyminer harm my computer? (No)

Mac Os Cpu Usage

Some antivirus software may flag Honeyminer as an unknown application. That’s because Honeyminer is brand new. Honeyminer software is written in the United States, compiled completely in-house, code-signed by DigiCert, and fully audited for security compliance.

After Honeyminer is installed, you can turn it on and off as you please. Your computer should run perfectly normal with it on, the one exception would be if you were playing a graphics-intensive video game, you may want to pause Honeyminer as the same graphics card is used to mine.

Do I have to auto-convert profits to bitcoin?

For now, yes as we wanted to allow people easy access to their profits. We realize some of you will want the option to hold some or all of the coins you mine and we are building functionality to support that.

Can I choose what coins to mine?

Mac Os Cpu Temperature

Not at this point. Our first goal was to create a 'set it and forget it' app for anyone to mine the most profitable coins. There may be some of you that have a favorite coin to mine and we will be building functionality to support that. For now you can rest assured that Honeyminer will identify the best coins to mine for you.

I run a mining operation already, is Honeyminer for me?

Technically yes, as this helps any rig run on autopilot. However we realize that more experienced miners require much more detailed monitoring capabilities and we will be building that (and a bunch of other cool stuff) into Honeyminer Pro.

What’s Honeyminer’s Revenue Model?

Honeyminer supports development by taking a small share of the total mining earnings generated on our network. For users with 1 GPU the fee is 8% and for 2 GPUs or more the fee is 2.5%.
