Hi there! Some help would be greatly appreciated....
I have just received a 6.5gh jalapeno bfl miner
I am running a mac pro with mountain lion.
I have tried to use the fgpa/asic miner (latest version of mac miner) with every single pool and it doesn't work. I get something like 4Mh? Like it's using my cpu or something...
The only joy that I've had so far is using Bitminter's *shudder* javascript miner. So we know the jalapeno works, and is recognised by my computer.
I don't want to use bitminter, I want to use eligius, but I can't connect using macminer (to any pool).
Some advice would be awesome!
Thanks,
Spooder
Try adding
-S all to the manual arguments line for the ASIC/FPGA Miner Settings.
When I did that with a USB Block Erupter the miner still wanted to address the CPU.
I had to address the USB Stick with the exact address, in this case it was "-S /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART" - this had to be put in the "Miner Settings" in the bottom in "Manual flags" right under the Advanced Options. Your BFL most likely has another "name".
Maybe you are lucky and S -all does not address the CPU in your Mac
You can use BFG Miner btw!
Another thing, did you install the drivers? If so, go to your Terminal and type "ls /dev/cu.*" - the BFL should be listed now. Use that address in the flags box!
