Hello everyone, I'm trying to start mining with RPCminer on mac, I followed this guide:

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=14348.0

However when I try to start I get the following message:

"CURL return value = 22
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 22
No blocks are being hashed right now.  This can happen if the application is
still starting up, you supplied incorrect parameters, or there is a
communications error connecting to the RPC server.
Could not retrieve work from RPC server."

etc.

Can anyone help me? I would really like to contribute to this project (and make som money hehe) =)

E:

Update I tried Diablominer but it gives me the following error:


[6/17/11 7:01:27 AM] ERROR: OpenCL platform Apple contains no devices
Did something go wrong? Relaunch and enter the Set up wizard by pressing 1 and Enter during start-up, and check your configuration.
logout

I have the Macbook Pro 2011-model


Please somebody HELP!!
Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

What hardware are you running? Are you on Snow Leopard, fully updated?

I welcome you to try poclbm http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12360, but if you couldn't get Diablo working then there is probably something else going on.

Try jumping onto the thread I linked. But diablo should just work out of the box... Are you using a GUI tool or the command line script?
