1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The official MacMiner thread [BTC/LTC-CPU/GPU/FPGA/ASIC] on: December 06, 2013, 01:47:36 PM
Has anybody experienced an error like this:

 [2013-11-28 22:03:45] Error -54: Enqueueing kernel onto command queue. (clEnqueueNDRangeKernel)
 [2013-11-28 22:03:45] OCL 0 failure, disabling!
 [2013-11-28 22:03:45] OCL 0 (thread 0) being disable

We have a number of Mac laptops running MacMiner without any problems (Awesome software BTW! Thanks!). But this one machine won't get to work.  We're all up to date with the latest release.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

(Yes I know we're not going to make any money, this is for experience and learning about the currency before it becomes the defacto standard on the interwebs)

That error suggests that either the intensity is set too high, or the machine is too old to mine - usually the latter I'm afraid! Sorry about that, happy mining on your other machines Smiley

Thanks for letting me know! You're right, it probably too old, about this mac says it's a 2009 Mac Book (not even a Mac Book Pro).  Cry
I'll break the news to her.  Maybe this will be the impetus for her to upgrade.  Wink

Thanks!  Grin

We have a small group mining on a variety of laptops (quite a few are MacBook Pros running MacMiner). They're not running full-time, nor are we looking to do much more than earn enough to learn and participate.  I'm yet to hear about problems from anyone, but will make sure to ask around and let you know what our experience is.

Given the circumstances, I think the Macs will be fine. Which coin do you mine?

We're exclusively mining BitCoin.  It's our opinion that it's the currency with the greatest opportunity to become widely used.  If it's good enough for the Winkelvosses (sp?), analysts at Citibank, the Government of China, it's good enough for us!

I'm also a newbie. Reading this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0  it seems to say that you also need to have participated, in a meaningful way, before some of the restrictions are lifted.

I don't know if you also need to make a request, or if it happens automatically.  I'm still limited although I've been on the board over 4 hours and have a post. I'm going to guess that my post wasn't significant enough for the moderators to think me not a troll.  LOL

I'm hopeful it'll sort itself out because I have some questions that I'd like to ask on some other threads.

This link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15911.0 mentions that after 5 posts on the Newbie board (the only board us newbies can post to) you'll be automatically upgraded, and it's more recent than the link above. Possibly, now 5 posts are required before the restrictions are removed?

This forum is THE forum.

No offense intended! This is a great forum and I've learned a lot from the awesome community.

After reading about BitCoin for the last few years, my sorority has begun mining and purchasing.  We are looking for ways to use the currency for some of our common purchases (IT services and computer stuff mainly) 

With the wide range of BitCoin forums (here, Reddit, etc.) I was wondering if you could give me some advice about the relative quality, strengths and weaknesses of the various forums?  There is so much information, much of it contradictory, that "it is like drinking from a firehose" at times. I'm hopping to better manage my time and increase the quality of the data and opinions I'm reading.

Thanks
