Title: I Need LTC Mining Help Post by: clonecc45 on March 03, 2015, 06:24:55 AM So I have wallet, MacMiner (For my macbook pro), Crypto Miner on my Nexus 7, and an account for a mining pool (litecoinpool.org).
My Nexus has been mining, but not my mac. I have tried CPU and GPU and they won't work. Here are my MacBooks specs: 4gb ram, 1024mb intel HD GPU, Core i5 2.5Ghz and OS X 10.9.5 (I haven't gotten Yosemite yet). I have been trying to find something easy to mine for a week now. For some reason I picked Litecoin. So here is what I have put into Pool settings (with MacMiner): for Pool URL: stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333. For user I have clonecc45.Macbook (should I drop the clonecc45. part?) which is my worker username. For password it is the same as my worker password. I have it set to "set up a pool for Scrypt (LTC, DOGE, etc)" which is right. Under CPU Miner Options...: Threads: all (I will prob move to 2 or 3) Mine: Scypt Enable debug output = OFF Enable quiet output = OFF and Nothing is under manual flags. I click start and... [2015-03-03 01:16:02] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 [2015-03-03 01:16:02] Binding thread 0 to cpu 0 [2015-03-03 01:16:02] Binding thread 1 to cpu 1 [2015-03-03 01:16:02] Binding thread 2 to cpu 2 [2015-03-03 01:16:02] 4 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.

I click start and: dyld: Library not loaded: /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/lib/libbase58.0.dylib Referenced from: /Users/edshail/Desktop/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/lib/libblkmaker_jansson-0.1.6.dylib Reason: image not found So can someone help?

It's useless to mine a scrypt coin with cpu oder gpu, you wouldn't even mine 1 LTC in a year 24/7 mining. You are at least two years late. Generaly don't mine with a notebook, you will brick it sooner or later. When mining, the cpu/gpu are under full load, notebooks are not build for such a permanent load. Scrypt coins are mined with ASICs nowadays. If you want to mine for fun then buy a ASIC miner. If you want to make instant money don't buy one, you wouldn't even get a ROI. Better invest the money in some coins and wait a couple of years. If the whole cryptocurrency stuff will go mainstream maybe you will be rich then, if not you will loose your whole investment. |
