Everything is in the title, and it could maybe be a stupid question but, is it possible to mine SiaCoin under Mac OS X?
If yes, how?

Thanks!

I do not think that you can mine with mac OS x. Even if you can mine with it, it will be very hard to have a good income. As you can see, MAc OS X prevents users from accessing the source code and therefore, it is hard to add the cpuminer in the system

None of the above

That's what I thought!  Undecided Thanks a lot for your clear reply!

i did not try it. but i checked this:

https://siamining.com/help

there are several miners that work. and i think that you can find a OSX version of one of these miners.

Well, you would be able to mine SiaCoin but your electricity bill will be much higher than your mining rewards. Some people have built to tools were you can estimate your mining ROI depending of the hardware you want to use for your mining rig. It is all about engineering and designing. Also, I do remember a crypto project aimed at making cloud mining available on smartphones. Could deserve a try but I can't remember the name of it. If anyone knows ?

Just don't , it's a very bad idea to mine with a mac , mac normally comes with intel integrated graphic which is not good for mining at all, besides the profit will be seriously low . Most important it will hurt your computer , no point to risk a thousands dollar mac

Alright! I'll give up this idea. And stay with my invested SiaCoin.  Wink
Thanks!
