cgminer -o http://192.168.0.15:8332 -u ShanghaiTimes -p * --btc-address 1KYBM7bAxC35m8GdYvwY3WKv8e5sr1sseh


I have tried using both 127.0.0.1, and the actual IP address of the mac.

I have Bitcoin Core running, then CGMINER with the command line shown at the top.
The antminer fails to detect.

However - It is detected with other software I have.

If anyone is still reading these threads, I'd love to hear from you.
I know it's apparently no longer profitable. I'm just doing this out of interest to see if I can make it owrk.

thanks
Robert

I know it sounds a bit stupid, but you seem to be running cgminer 4.3
It seems the latest version is 4.9 (http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/4.9/)

Have you tried upgrading to the latest version? Chances are slim this will solve your problem, but it might be a first step to try out?

Also, have you tried running cgminer as root, just to see if it's not because of a limited user account?

Thanks, I'll try both of those things.
