Greetings, any ALTCOINS I can mine on iMAC? Everyone says its a waste of time, however I have a lot of time to waste. Not to concerned with the energy consumption, would really like to earn a few ALTCOINS and start helping in solving complex problems. I’m a N00B and would prefer a classy non jaded humble VET to help me get started. Appreciate greatly your time and energy as I know this knowledge does not come easy for anyone. Thank you.
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

There's no up-to-date mining software for macs. You should boot into Windows using boot camp.
However unless it's the most overpriced iMac that has an RX 580 in it, you'll earn so little money that it's not even funny.
There will also definitely be overheating issues no matter which one you have.

Honestly I wouldn't even bother. If you can afford an iMac then you can probably afford a decent mining rig.
