cgminer for Mac OS X is the name of an unofficial binary distribution of CGMiner for Mac OS X computers. It contains precompiled universal binaries (for Mac OS X 10.5+ on PPC/Intel) and includes the necessary libraries required to make them run, contained in a single package. The website contains all compilable versions released by the official cgminer developers since version 3.3.1.
A launcher script is included to simplify entering command-line options, which then opens a Terminal window running cgminer. Commands are remembered between subsequent launches.
Requirements
- Mac OS X 10.5 PPC (USB mining only)
- Mac OS X 10.6+ PPC or Intel 32/64bit (USB or OpenCL-based mining)
- Running bfgminer, cgminer and cpuminer (minerd) at the command line on Apple Mac OS X bfgminer - Download MacMiner and put it in your Applications folder.
- Sgminer is a multi-threaded multi-pool GPU miner for scrypt-based coins. It is based on cgminer by Con Kolivas (cgminer for Mac OS X is here), which is in turn based on cpuminer by Jeff Garzik. This page hosts unofficial universal binaries of sgminer for Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.9 (Intel 32/64-bit), which you can use to run sgminer on your Apple Mac.
