Lmao, good one

Hey, thanks for all your replies

Like, I dunno, how other mac users (notable the computer whizzes) go about this whole btc thing, and mining and stuff. Like I started mining LTC, cuz i heard it was doable on a mac, but I only get about 5kHash? which is pretty pointless.. I get free electricity so thats not an issue at all..

Is it possible to upgrade a mac in anyway? (like rigs and stuff) If I move to unbuntu instead of OS X would i get greater hashpower? (i hear this is true for gpu mining, but im on cpu :S)

If you do use ubuntu, would you advise me to get that with bootcamp? Ive been contemplating it, but Im not sure.. I sorta need advice lol

Hey there, anyone a mac user? anyone a mac user and miner? Do you use ubuntu/windows with bootcamp?

Im pretty new to the btc world, and I'd like to know how other mac users deal with everything btc related.. I havent come across any other mac users yet, and I'd like to get some insight...

I love the way Bitcoins are free.

Alright, fair game, I'll look into it.. I've been hating the fact that I have a mac recently but I forgot that I had that option..


Um.. you say GPU hashrate, but I have CPU ? D: Im sorry, im still new to all this tech lingo, and the way I see GPU is better than CPU ...
But if there is better hashrate of GPU there would also be better CPU hashrate as well under Linux and Windows ?

Yeah, thanks to you

Oh ok, I get it, thanks for the explanation

Yeah, I guess I wont bother with setting that up just yet, maybe teach myself a little more about all this first then give it a go xD

Thanks again for helping

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

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

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

nothing comes up..

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



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

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

Lol, ok so, my bad, late 2008 mac ** sorry,

Also, im pretty sure the miner and json are in the same directory, Ive kept them in the same directory all the times ive tried...

Ive copied all my json files in the cgminer directory (using finder! xD cuz i wouldnt know how to do it on terminal if my life depended on it lol.) and i tried again.. it keeps telling me illegal instruction... D:

./cgminer -c litepool.json

thats what i type in after i do cd, but it tells me Illegal instruction..ii tried with the config that usually works but that also tells me illegal instruction..

when i do it in minerd it tells me that it failed and then gives me a huge list of controls that i dont know how to use:

Hey there,

Im pretty new to all this btc stuff and all the tech talk that comes with it... Ive gotten into LTC mining, thanks to the help of someone I met on a random chat, they helped walk me through it (on minerd).. I've been trying to set up my miner with another pool, but its not working? Ive downloaded ANOTHER miner (cgminer), to see how it goes with that, but thats not working either o.o

I use a late 2008 mac, and I usually user Terminal(command line interface) to start my miner up. The only reason Im able to do this on terminal is because i know how to cd to where my miner is and then i know what to type in to configure it (vocab ??) [ ./minerd -c FILE ]

Ive tried making other .json files for the other pools ive tried joining, putting them in the same directory as the miner and starting them up in the same way, but i keep getting 'no such file or directory'

The way im making these .json is by just changing the extension. Should I be getting software for this?

Im so lost :C Im really noob right now, but I really do want to at least get the basics of all this and sort of manage to find my way on my own..

Help please ?

ok, thanks


lol what is this troll box you speak of?



ok, i think ill take that advice

so dark, if i got it right, BID is what people are asking for 1LTC? BID:0.03215002 I will sell 1 ltc for 0.03215002 BTC ? and ASK:0.03250000, I want to buy 0.03250000BTC for 1LTC?

Sorry im still new at this, and exchange rates have always confused me :S

thanks for the help

alright, thanks darksoft

lol noob, i heard rumors as well and that sorta encouraged me to mine them.. i dun think i cant mine btc on my computer so im trying ltc.. and hopefully it will be well worth it

Hey guys, i just recently (right now! ) started mining LTC. How easy is it to trade LTC for BTC and where can I go ?

Thanks guys

damn, yeah, if figured.. thanks for the help people

Thanks, checking out right now

Hey guys, Im new here and pretty new to btc as well. I need help finding somewhere or someone reliable where i can get BTC for GBP. Any help/ suggestions?

Thanks
