Good call - I'll send out a note. The change was specifically about the "Statistics API" but, in hindsight, that's not super clear. The change is only for that specific endpoint.

1.5.20 updated to a final hopeful most stable version and beta versions will resume shortly. This is a bug fix release for two known issues.

I tried 1.5.20gm and it does not work with a BFJ Jalapeño and a ASCI Block Erupted cube. Just moving back to 10.5.18e does work.

No need to fix for me.

1.5.21b1 is up now which mostly just updates bfgminer to the long awaited version 4

There are definitely issues with the stats reporting in the miner window although what I'm seeing isn't as bad as what you are it is due to be replaced when I have time, sorry about that!

The main change is in the backend as bfgminer has been updated to version 4 - I wonder whether the cube you have has something to do with the difference in what we're seeing as I don't have one, but am using a jalapeño.

The only way to check the actual command right now would be to check the source code - I'll consider that a feature request and feed it out to the log! The actual commands are as simple as possible, they load the conf file and any manual flags set, if a device is selected it'll use something like -S bfl:all with the relevant device inserted.

It could be worth running with the bfgminer 4 included in the latest version at the command line and comparing that to the .18e version?

Hey,

The problem you're having is that the share difficulty for BTC relative to the power of any CPU these days means that you're solving work so slowly statistics can't be generated by the usual means - you'd be better off mining something like Vertcoin!

Any chance of getting a version of cpuminer included that supports X11?  The 3 git repositories I found with various X11 versions of minerd aren't compiling correctly for me on my Mac and can't find any binaries anywhere.

Here are the two most popular ones:

For AES-NI supporting processors: https://github.com/elmad/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes

For other processors:  https://github.com/ig0tik3d/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.2c


This is an older version that some have gotten further with on a Mac: https://github.com/ig0tik3d/xcoin-cpuminer

I haven't seen any proof that anyone with a Mac has gotten any of these builds running. I certainly haven't and after hours trying to compile these myself I'm throwing up the white flag.

I hope you have more luck.

Thanks, but that means it will only work correctly for more recent Mac's using i5 or i7 chips due to the use of AES-NI if you used the most recent version 1.3, so if you ever include that with the core build of MacMiner, you may want to make note of that.

oooh ignore me I totally spaced, too many browser tabs, not enough time! The version I compiled above was
