Hi, I need to ask this question here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.0;all

Clearly, I have not enough privileges it seems, so I have to post it here... Let's give this topic a try.

I've setup bfgminer in my mac but I've been having some trouble. It seems to be working (eating some resources) but it is not returning any accepted shares. The only compiled version for mac os 10.8.4 I could find was 3.0.2.

This is the command I'm running:

Code:
bfgminer -o http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u my_user -p my_pass --verbose -k diablo -g 1 -v 2 --intensity 13

This is the output I'm getting:

Code:
bfgminer version 3.0.2 - Started: [2013-07-15 13:22:12] - [  0 days 00:15:12]

When I give up waiting and kill the process I get:

This might also help:

Can you help me understand these results and why aren't I getting any shares (accepted nor rejected)?

Thanks in advance

Are you mining simply off of the integrated graphics on your Mac?

Yes. Anyway, I think there is an issue with that version of bfgminer as my card shouldn't mine more than 2 mh/s. Actually, I ended up using cgminer and I mine at around 1.7 mh/s.

Possibly, but it could also be the fact that the difficulty is so high that 2Mh/s isnt going to make any affect.
