1. Nicehash Nheqminer

We all know and love (i.e. Hate) miners. Getting a RX 580 was a pain and when I finally got one coupled with a Mantiz I wanted to know whether I could get some of the money back I payed for this setup. This is macOS only (in my case High Sierra 10.13 Beta 17A330h) The software I'm using is MacMiner (1.5.57) which is a GUI miner that is based on other popular mining software which is terminal only.

Nicehash is a service that offers you the possibility of renting out your GPUs compute power. Instead of mining a profitable coin you sell your hashing power (A rate at which you find coins) and get paid out in bitcoin. Next up you choose the statrum server from this list. For the username you just enter the bitcoin adress that you get from nicehash. I have had medium success with getting most of the algorithm to work.

We bring you all the latest streaming pricing data in the world of cryptocurrencies. Whether you are just interested in the bitcoin price or you want to see the latest ether volume, we have all the data available at your fingertips.

The one I'm most successful with right now is Keccak. If you have success with other algorithm pls share them in this thread. EGPU detection works just fine. By default the internal GPU gets used too but you can choose to use the eGPU only by typing '--device 1' in the manual flags like so: If you aren't sure wether the correct GPU is used you can read the answer here to find out ways to make sure the correct GPU is used: Other than that I'm using the recommended settings. You can increase things like Intensity on your own risk since the system will be put under more stress. If you are interested and/or made any experiences with mining cryptocurrency on mac you are welcome to share it here.

I will add future results and share my experiences in this thread. If you are interested in my worker stats you can check them out here: Due to me not wanting to risk anything going wrong I will be mostly mining in evenings and probably on the weekend. But I can imagine having this run for longer periods of time in the future. I've tried out every other possible algorithm at this point in time and Keccak remains the only one that worked out for me. Posted by: dt7693 Can you help me configure MacMiner? I've been trying for days to get it to work but have been getting errors every time. Can you post your full config (redacted password)?

Thanks in advance. So the only algorithm I got working is Keccak. Here's how it should look like: Change the username to your specific wallet address and type in anything for the password. The settings are all on default except for making sure only the external GPU is used to prevent the internal from getting stressed. Basically you set up the correct stratum in the settings for Keccak and set your username as the wallet address you have on nicehash. Let me know if it worked out for you.
