Title: HELP! Post by: george_copping on November 08, 2011, 09:59:39 PM Hi everyone,
I've just started Bitcoin mining but Im having a problem getting started... Firstly I'm using a Mac on OS X Lion I have a bitcoin client setup for managing my bitcoins etc I have registered with ABC pool I've downloaded RPCminer and when I open it I get the standard terminal window to enter parameters However I keep getting the error "Could not retrieve work from RPC server" and "CURL return value = 22" I assume I'm entering my parameters incorrectly, any help please?! Thanks! Title: Re: HELP! Post by: mtminer on November 09, 2011, 02:37:19 AM Have you seen this?
http://maccoinminer.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/rpcminer-for-mac/ Unless your Mac has an ATI 5XXX or 6XXX card your going to be disappointed by the mining speed. Title: Re: HELP!

Sorry, can't help about your problem, I'm no miner and mac's ain't my thing :P Title: Re: HELP! Post by: bittenbob on November 10, 2011, 01:18:43 AM Command line based mining can be a bit of a bother to perform and for that reason I have not tried. There is a GUI based miner that runs in windows and if im not mistaken there is a windows emulator in Mac OS'. You can try running the GUIminer in that emulator but im not sure if it would be choked back by the OS. As someone else said unless you have a 5xxx or 6xxx card you will likely be disappointed in your mining speed. I have been mining for over a week with a GTS 250 on my downtime and average 36 MHash/s but I will have my 6950 tomorrow which I hope to be mining at least at 350Mhash.

Thanks! We can't know if you are entering parameters incorrectly if you don't post what command line statements you are using. http://www.abcpool.co/gettingstarted.php Note that you must go into the abcpool control panel and create a worker (a seperate logon) also, the worker username and password is what you must use as your user/pass for the miner software. |
