Thanks for the advice! On my screen, the intensity defaulted to 10 and I've bumped it up to 12 or 13 and still get a bit shy of 14 kh/s. At this point I do not try to use my machine for anything else. Should I give up on mining until I have a more powerful machine and card?
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
It depends what you're mining. Most serious mining is done with fairly high-end graphics cards, but you may still find it fun to play around in what are called "altcoins", or basically anything that isn't bitcoin / litecoin. A website like CoinWarz is a great resource for finding what may be profitable and/or worthwhile
Hi there. Excuse my absolute noob-ness. I have a Macbook Pro with an Intel 4000 card and have tried to run Asteriod to mine Litecoins and Dogecoins. The max rate I can seem to get is 13 or 14 kh/s. Is this the limit of my card/laptop or is it possible to get a better rate? I am in the US on US pool servers.
Thanks!
Thanks!
According to the scrypt database on the Asteroid site, people are generally getting around 21kh/s with that device. You may just need to increase the intensity you are mining at, which you can do from the small triangle seen here:
If you increase your intensity too high your computer will bog down and may feel less responsive. Too low and you may not be getting the best hashrate.

Re: CGMINER ASIC FPGA miner monitoring RPC linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 3.12.3
Being a sudo command it will only work until reboot correct?
Not in this case. Sudo is being used to switch to the superuser, from where a file is added to that the OS reads on startup, which configures how it handles USB devices. That fix is likely permanent.

Thank you for the reply,
i entered the touch then tried the second one,
i entered the touch then tried the second one,
Code:
sudo echo kern.sysv.semume=100 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
and got permission denied?Huh, me too. Here are the original instructions, I put them on one line to make it easier (silly me, should have tested). Instead use this:
Code:
sudo su

chown root:wheel /etc/sysctl.conf

Enter each line one at a time exactly as above, and then reboot.
Re: CGMINER ASIC FPGA miner monitoring RPC linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 3.12.3
Have just installed 3.12.3 for mac OS X.
I can only get it to pick up 10 USB Block Erupters. The rest give me this, SEM: Icarus USB timeout waiting for (65547) '/tmp/cgminer-usb-20-10'
Any help would be muchly appreciated.
A usb failure can show up in so many ways, this is one of them. Likely there's just not enough power.I can only get it to pick up 10 USB Block Erupters. The rest give me this, SEM: Icarus USB timeout waiting for (65547) '/tmp/cgminer-usb-20-10'

A fellow by the name of JimJag found the solution to this in this post on the Asteroid forums.
Quote
The issue is that cgminer uses SysV semaphores and make use of the UNDO mechanism. OSX by default only allows 10 of these per process. Use sysctl to update to something more reasonable (eg: sysctl -w kern.sysv.semume=100). If cgminer has already been running, you'll need to do this via /etc/sysctl.conf and reboot.
The solution he suggests, can be implemented by running the following in your Terminal.app and then rebooting.
EDIT: See below for correct commands to enter into Terminal.app.
Can you add support for my DualMiner ASIC with all mining modes (BTC only,LTC only and BTC/LTC combo mining) asap as I really want to try this out/get started quickly/reliably on my mac?
Thanks
Thanks
They haven't yet released the source code they're using (possibly contravening the software license), but I've sent them an email and we'll see what they say. Thanks for the feedback via PM too, it's good to hear this is a real device.
Re: CGMINER ASIC FPGA miner monitoring RPC linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 3.12.3
I have a questions, Is CGMINER for mac OSX the same as the miner talked about in this thread ? The reason I ask is because I want to know if there is a way to have CG miner launch my terminal window with my default terminal settings.. I apologize if this is the wrong thread . was more of a vanity question really... just got burned out on CGminer opening in a bland black on white terminal window... all my other terminal windows open with the default settings.
Yes, it is the same. If you want a bit more control and you're fine with running the command-line version, download the miner-only version from here. I'll see if there's anything I can do with the launcher script to conform the terminal window settings Asteroid 0.9.7 is now out
Download here or run "Check for updates..." from the in-app Asteroid menu
Among the biggest changes is the addition of live coin balances! Enter the API key from your pool's webpage and you'll see live balances in Asteroid of what you have currently mined. Also changed is the switch to sgminer for all scrypt mining. sgminer seems to be the spiritual successor to cgminer 3.7.2 insofar as scrypt mining, and it has already seen a number of bug fixes and improvements -- one of which is the ability to choose between 5 different kernels. The Asteroid website will track these kernels for you, and as always, recommend the best kernel and other settings for you to use based on the contributions of other users (16,000 scrypt setting submissions to date).
Redesigned pool setup sheet:
Change log is as follows:
Please remember that Asteroid does not need any extra drivers or installs of any kind, nor any knowledge of the command-line! True plug-and-play. And one of my favourite new features?
Asteroid is one of the few pieces of bitcoin software written in an interpreted language, meaning the code you read on your screen is the code that your computer executes -- there are no fully compiled intermediaries apart from the mining engines themselves (cgminer, sgminer, etc) which are also open-source. So if you wonder how Asteroid does something, just go to "View source code" from the Asteroid menu and it will pop up. Feel free to edit it, save it, and re-run Asteroid to see your coding changes.

Hello there, i'm new to asteroid, and I seem to have a problem with it..
The app is telling me i'm mining at 7MH/s, while my pool indicates a hashrate of 12kh/s... I don't understand what's my problem..
Hey cytron, my guess is that you are using a non-US locale, which confuses Asteroid when it tries to read "7,00 kh/s" for example (versus "7.00 kh/s"). This is my fault and better international support will be coming in an upcoming version.The app is telling me i'm mining at 7MH/s, while my pool indicates a hashrate of 12kh/s... I don't understand what's my problem..
If I'm wrong though please let me know and we'll look at other possibilities.

Re: CGMINER ASIC FPGA miner monitoring RPC linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 3.12.0
New version: 3.12.0, 29th January 2014
Mac build will be delayed until this evening (forgot my development HDD at home).
Also, the title of this thread still is at 3.11.0. I almost missed that a new version was out.
Re: CGMINER ASIC FPGA miner monitoring RPC linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 3.11.0
I have cgminer-3.10.0 on Fedora 19 with AntMiner. (I had to add --enable-bitfury to configure for it to compile - otherwise it would miss mcp2210.c.) It is mining at 600Mh/s, not the vaunted 1.6Gh/s, and it is barely warm (unlike the block erupters, which get quite hot in operation).
(5s):631.4M (avg):378.7Mh/s | A:349 R:9 HW:32 WU:0.0/m
Also, it is detected as USB1.1, not 2.0 (other 2.0 devices plugged into the port are detected as 2.0).

Also, it is detected as USB1.1, not 2.0 (other 2.0 devices plugged into the port are detected as 2.0).
There is no official Antminer U1 support in cgminer yet, since the creators of Antminer never contacted the cgminer devs with code and/or hardware before it was released. The developers just recently received units they can develop for, and so Antminer support is likely eventually forthcoming. There are some forks of cgminer out there that have implemented an Antminer driver already though, though you'll have to look around for 'em and they're generally unsupported.
No luck here, so far, getting the BabyJet to hash with 3.11.
Getting a "Hashfast detect (6:3) failed to initialize (incorrect device?)" message.
Update: It hashes using the PC build of 3.11. Is this a driver or permissions issue?

Yes, it is a driver issue. Without knowing more about your particular setup, just copy/paste this into Terminal before you launch cgminer 3.11.0 and it will disable all the known present conflicting drivers:
Code:
sudo kextunload -b com.silabs.driver.CP210xVCPDriver; sudo kextunload -b com.silabs.driver.CP210xVCPDriver64; sudo kextunload -b com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver; sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDC; sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDCACMData; sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDCACMControl; sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBFTDI.kext
It may give a few errors but it's not a problem, it'll just complain that some of the drivers you tried to disable aren't installed (which we know), but others likely are installed.
The above is also temporary. Either logout and in again, or restart your machine, or replace every "kextunload" with "kextload" and run it again. Any of those will put your drivers back to how they were.
