OK Try the same thing in the FPGA/ASIC window - it hasn't been tested properly yet but that should be rigged up to show you your temps!

Thats the log I get, and it works fine on my end using it via Terminal

./bfgminer -o http://us2.eclipsemc.com:8337/ -O user:pass -Sdev/cu.usbserial-FTWMK6PF --no-submit-stale

Only problem now is it is reporting GH/s as MH/s

Thanks, would be nice if we had a good UI to stop our BFL miners if the temperature hits a certain point. and restart in say 5 mins

Hmm, I tried restarting a machine which had been running 1.3.10 since I released that version and there was no difference in available disk space, but I'm not USB mining. Which window are you using, the FPGA/ASIC window? And which version of Mac OS? Can you get info on the app after it's been running a few hours and report back the size please? If it is using a bunch of space it should all be inside MacMiner.app except a kb or two in the application support directory.


Most hardware is programmed with a safe limit above which it cuts off (and I'm hoping that's true of the BFL kit too, as I'm waiting on some, although at least it does have a lifetime warrantee) but I'll add a failsafe option for that in MacMiner! Thanks for the recommendation. Is anyone running this on 10.6 btw?

Mac OS 10.8.5 build 12E55
MacMiner 1.3.12
USB ASIC Sapphire.
in pool settings, put my bitcoin addy, and a stratum pool, with worker. didn't do anything on lite coin
in miner settings i used "-Sdev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART" (no quotes)
and checked the box to disable gpu everything else un-touched.

First screen shot after config
2nd startup
3rd running a few minutes
4th running a little more.
5th includes mining history.
Mining history.. 24hrs ago running cgminer in bootcamp
first drop to 0 a reboot into mac
2nd drop to 0 Mac miner paused due to full hdd while I was afk
spike after 2nd drop is running with out mac miner active.
3rd drop is a reboot.

currently running from a fresh startup, in a fresh guest account (everything deleted after log out) only things opened were macminer, activity monitor, and safari.

going to sleep soon.

It might also be the log file, purging might be an option?

looks like it is taking up 25GB of VM

Hash Rate never shows up

as of June 4th 10.8.4 is no longer beta

I'll give the quiet output a try.

Sorry it said 10.8.5 up there so I thought you were running that

25gb vm is a bit much, although that in itself shouldn't be a problem, Xcode is using about that much on my machine right now and the total VM size is about the size of my startup disk. My MacMiner VM size has been a stable 3.33GB since your post before last so I'm starting to suspect there's a problem occurring when it runs out of RAM and starts pushing memory to disk. I'll look in to reducing memory usage as much as possible and Tuesday I'll be seeing someone who can give the code a good once over and see whether I've missed anything.

CGMiner connects to devices differently, I've not seen precisely how on a Mac yet as it was definitely broken till recently but I'm guessing from what I know it would only work with a USB connection not a USB Serial connection to the device (which would probably mean uninstalling the USB Serial driver but that won't affect the memory usage, bfg/cg are very similarly coded in). That cgminer shows 0Mh on the icon label makes me wonder whether somehow the label update is broken and bfgminer would show 0 if it couldn't find the device. But could you do me a favour please and toggle the show dock icon pref in preferences? It might work after that and if so I know where to fix it. FPGA/ASIC miner doesn't have display built in yet unfortunately but does show temperatures for USB miners.

Sorry for the hassle!
