Well, I had to be the first to post this year - 2016 is a good year. :-)
I finally have MacMiner working on my El Capitan Mac Mini.
It's running both an FPGA/ASIC miner, and a GPU miner.
It took some doing - but it's working
Oddly enough, I have two urls in the bfgurls.conf file, and the Antminer is using both of them, or appears to be - not sure if that's right or not, and the GPU miner is only using the nicehash lotto stratum address.
So in order to mine any useful coin... I have to up the Antminer to at least 1THz...
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333",
"user" : "ShanghaiTimes.worker1",
"pass" : "*"
},
{ "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334",
"user" : "17FrGCZZNGtrruYkY8ZTUrRzeA9891Qd6E",
"pass" : "17FrGCZZNGtrruYkY8ZTUrRzeA9891Qd6E"
}
]

And of course, I may be talking to myself. It seems very few people are now involved at the "home/office" level. Which is odd, because the more that a Bitcoin increases in value, the more those little bits are going to be worth... like panning for gold. No one throws back the gold dust because it's not a nugget....
