Post by: RZBRI on May 10, 2013, 11:03:34 AM
Hey there, anyone a mac user? anyone a mac user and miner? Do you use ubuntu/windows with bootcamp?

Im pretty new to the btc world, and I'd like to know how other mac users deal with everything btc related.. I havent come across any other mac users yet, and I'd like to get some insight...

Yup.

anyone a mac user and miner?
Used to be. It's not worth it. :)

Do you use ubuntu/windows with bootcamp?
No. Well, not for mining at least.

Well, what do you want to know exactly?

Hey, thanks for all your replies :D

Like, I dunno, how other mac users (notable the computer whizzes) go about this whole btc thing, and mining and stuff. Like I started mining LTC, cuz i heard it was doable on a mac, but I only get about 5kHash? which is pretty pointless.. I get free electricity so thats not an issue at all..

Is it possible to upgrade a mac in anyway? (like rigs and stuff) If I move to unbuntu instead of OS X would i get greater hashpower? (i hear this is true for gpu mining, but im on cpu :S)

If you do use ubuntu, would you advise me to get that with bootcamp? Ive been contemplating it, but Im not sure.. I sorta need advice lol
