Bitcoin miner for OSX

[Crown16]

Hi All,

I have a few Intel Macs that still work perfectly, and are in the latest version of OSX. I want to start using them to mine bitcoins, but am a bit unclear on which miners work wel on OSX. I tried one called asteroid, but it is endlessly initialising.

I realize that there is no money in it, but it feels good to keep those macs in use. Any tips, or experiences on bitcoin miners in OSX let me know

Thanks in advance,

Crown

I used to be part of the Bitminter pool, which had an OSX client and worked well wtih my ATI 5870 card. This was about 3 years ago and the hash rate has increased so much since then that, even with a powerful GPU, you will get--litterally--zero from mining anymore. You'll just be wasting electricity.

If you want to put those macs to some use, I suggest you check out World Community Grid, which can actually do some good with your CPU power.

If you really want to do something with bitcoin, just download and run a full node of the blockchain, which you can do with any computer.
