Title: OK everyone... ready for the most asked question? Im at wits end Post by: collins6542 on March 21, 2015, 07:34:58 AM Hey guys, I did my best to keep off forums and I have finally reached my wits end... I have purchased 2 Rockminer New R-BOX 100-110 Gh/s Miners. I am using a 08 Macbook Pro with OS x 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I have tried everything under the sun for the rockminers to detect with no luck.. I have tried specifically probing the port, using MacMiner, using BFGMiner 5.1, using CGMiner 4.3, SiLabs USB Driver Disk, I even installed homebrew, Xcode 4.2, I have tried several different pools thinking that was the issue.. everything from BAN, bitsolo, to Bitminter. I am just at wits end on what I can do to fix this... any ideas? (Please forgive my typing/spelling ive been sitting in front of this computer for hours and it is 0230 am now...
I thank you again guys! - One grateful n00b Title: Re: OK everyone... ready for the most asked question?

Title: Re: OK everyone... ready for the most asked question? Im at wits end Post by: -ck on March 21, 2015, 09:26:04 AM using CGMiner 4.3, That's ancient and the rockminer support didn't even exist back then. Why? Grab the latest cgminer.Title: Re: OK everyone... ready for the most asked question?

I am just guessing, but I doubt mac was that popular of a OS for them.

Unfortunately not. I have some U1 miners that i have tried and they work.. It is just the Rockminers... the two i purchased are brand new unopened upon arrival.

Did you try another OS such as linux or windows? I think those will be quite a bit more popular as far as running them. And you will find more documentation.
