Missing argument for option: u

Remember to set rpcuser and rpcpassword in your ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
before starting bitcoind or bitcoin --daemon

even though I have the password and username set in both the bitcoin.conf and the plist file for DiabloMiner.
I assume you are trying to setup a local server? The error message says that the username is entirely missing. Try reconfiguring by pressing Y + Enter during the first seconds of the application startup. When connecting to a local rpcserver, the username and password you set in the client must obviously match.

Thanks for making these easy to use packages! I seem to have run into a snag though.

When I try to run RPCminer on my 10.5.8 Macbook it tells me:
"dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022" apparently from RPCminer.app/Contents/MacOS/rpcminer_exe: line 62

Any thoughts? Or is it because I need Snow Leopard?
That is a probable cause. I have access to some Leopard machines at work. I will test and have a look at what I can do about it. Thanks for reporting the problem.

good evening. thank you macCompiler for taking the time to make this application for us who are a little shaky in terminal. you are the first person that i will be giving my bitcoins to. as soon as i can make some. have a bang-up day.
You’re welcome. I wanted to make these small helper scripts based on feedback I got from compiling the first rpcminer binary. It was obvious that Mac users didn’t know how to use the command line. If enough people download these tools I might even make a full blown Cocoa application front-end. Smiley

Keem’em donations coming.  Cool
