I have this running on three Macs and it's working well. One thing is strange, though. The GeForce 330M is way slower than the GeForce 320M.
The MBP with 330M gets about 2000 khps.
The MB with 320M gets about 5500 khps.
The MacMini with a 9400 gets about 2100 khps.

Am I missing something? I would think the 330M would be faster than the rest of them. Is there a switch I should be throwing?

Thanks for the miner!

The 330m should be about as twice as fast as the 320m. Your 320m is getting around the same speed (minus the OSX sucks penalty), and the 9400 also seems to be the right speed. Make sure the laptop with the 330m is not using lots of CPU time (such as accidentally leaving CPU mining on).

That said, none of these are really worth mining with. There are CPUs that mine faster than that.

A Mac user! Whoa!

On a Macbook air, I get this:


Code:
$ ./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh -u […] -p […]

What does it mean? When do we have two numbers with a slash? Does "6 CU" means that there are 6 cores? Are all of them used?

I'm very newbie… Thanks you Smiley

The two numbers are 15 second average, forever average.

CU means compute unit, it has no relation to cores. Yes, all of them are used.
