1. which mac are you on? >About This Mac>System Report>Model Identifier (e.g. MacPro5,1)

well, it's actually a hackintosh I put together, the identifier was installed as a iMac late 2012 running 10.12.6, I wanna say 13,1 but could also be 13,2 (21 vs 27 inch imac)
it's a gygabyte Z170-HD3 motherboard with a intel 3.7 GHz Intel Core i3 and a crucial PSU, no video card, I am using the machine as a home server so I only access it remotely

2. Do you get some sort of error message?

not that I can tell, here is what I get when starting cgminer, I would say no error beside the no device found

Code:

[2019-10-07 14:48:47] Started cgminer 4.3.3
[2019-10-07 14:48:49] No devices detected!
[2019-10-07 14:48:49] Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit
[2019-10-07 14:48:49] Need to specify at least one pool server.
Input server details.
URL:
de.ckpool.org:3333 should I use stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333 instead ? not even sure what the difference is here ..
Username:
[btc] address
Password:
x

and then it logs in ck pool, I get the authorised and welcome message

Code:

[2019-10-07 15:08:15] Pool 0 difficulty changed to 10000
[2019-10-07 15:08:15] Pool 0 message: Authorised, welcome to solo.ckpool.org
[2019-10-07 15:08:15] Probing for an alive pool
[2019-10-07 15:08:16] Network diff set to 12.8T

problem is no hashrate

vh created an r606 branch to the cgminer compile. perhaps try testing this branch. See this post for compiling instructions:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.msg51597960#msg51597960

You mentioned this branch to cgminer, I am just a little confused.
Should I run the Homebrew code you guys talk about on the first page ?
And then your branch ? Or just run your branch code ?
I am asking because I don't understand the code .. so not sure how to proceed, thank you!
