Title: "Drop-in" miner for Mac OS X (10.6 and 10.7)?
Post by: The LT on April 16, 2012, 11:21:57 PM
Hello forum,

Can anyone recommend a "drop-in" mining application for Mac OS X that isn't horribly outdated? By drop-in, I mean a compiled binary. There used to be Diablominer and it worked, but isn't there something a little more modern?

Modern? Are you looking for specific features or a UI, asking because DiabloMiner is by no means outdated and is kept up with all of the latest optimizations, etc..

Are you okay with command line/shell/terminal (I don't know what you Mac people call it) miners?

It sure is, but it would require compilation now, wouldnt it?

Perfectly fine.

Phoenix should run fine, though you'll need to install Python. If that doesn't appeal, there's a packaged Mac frontend for DiabloMiner here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8994.0), though it's somewhat out of date.

The BitMinter miner also works fine on Macs. As long as you have Java installed, you just click on the webpage and off it goes.

No, it's a Java app and Diablo compiles it regularly, just download Java binary and run it...
