Hi
Can anyone tell me why I am getting a 100% reject rate when using MacMiner to mine feathercoins on the feathercoin.is-a-geek pool?

peace

Had the same issue with cgminer, you need to use the scrypt algorithm.

Only the beta of MacMiner supports scrypt yet, you can get the installer here:

original thread:

To run scrypt you'll have to follow the instructions to use the bfgminer backend in that thread^

And in the 'Options' text field, type:
--scrypt

I'd appreciate it if you let me know whether it works for you! It should, but I haven't tested scrypt yet.
