Title: ETH Mining on Mac AMD GPU with Geth/Ethminer -Will Not Submit Shares to Nanopool
Post by: 813bits on July 16, 2016, 08:19:12 PM
So I have spent the past few days trying to get starting with mining Ethereum using my Mac (El Capitan) and its AMD GPU that is 2 gb.  I have installed Geth and Ethminer to use to mine with, which seem to have been installed successfully.  When I run Terminal #1 using "get --rpc", I have successfully downloaded the chain and the node is running at the current block.  In Terminal #2 I run "ethminer -F http://us-east1.nanopool.org:8888/[my address]/[my worker]/[my email] -G --opencl-device 1" after setting the environmental variable that allows the DAG to be downloaded, and it appears to be mining ok.  However, my shares are not being submitted to nano pool.  I found many instances of others with this problem and almost all of the solutions were to load the 15.22 version for the AMD driver, which solved the problem on Windows.  I cannot find any solutions to fix this on Max OS El Capitan.

Any ideas?
