Well, when i usually use minerd, i use my litecoin-cfg.json file to make it work and it works no problem, i can usually expect a (yay!!) message Tongue

OMG! I just tried what you said and it worked Cheesy Sweet Cheesy Thanks so much Cheesy Cheesy

also:
Shirazs-MacBook-397:cgminermac shiraz_$ ./cgminer -n
Illegal instruction


nothing comes up..

but yeah, thanks for your help Cheesy I guess i dont need cgminer now anyway Cheesy



If you dont mind could I ask you a couple more questions please?

Would you know how to set Stratum proxy(Huh) on a mac? Wemineltc.com requires it, but i dont even know what it is lol ?

Great, glad you got it working!

There are two protocols for connecting to mining servers: Longpoll and Stratum. Stratum is newer and tends to work a lot better. Stratum proxy is a program that runs in the background on your computer and accepts Longpoll connections, translates them to Stratum, and forwards them to a pool that uses Stratum. It's meant to be used with miners that only support Longpoll (like minerd).

There's no official mac binary. It might be worth looking through the forums to see if someone's put together an unofficial binary, but otherwise you would have to build it from the source code on Github (https://github.com/bandroidx/stratum-mining-proxy), following the Linux instructions.
