Майнер ethereum mac os

Программист добавил в утилиту ethminer поддержку Mac c чипом M1

Сравнение хэшрейта на Mac c M1 и специальных майниноговых карт Nvidia CMP.

26 февраля 2021 года программист Ифань Гу (Yifan Gu) в своем блоге рассказал, что добавил в утилиту ethminer поддержку Apple M1. Ее модифицированная версия доступна в репозитории разработчика на GitHub.

Для того, чтобы запустить ethminer на MacBook Air с чипом M1 Гу пришлось сделать некоторые манипуляции с исходным кодом утилиты. Он добавил в «белый список» майнера (libethash-cl/CLMiner.cpp) чип M1 как Intel GPU. Также Гу пришлось обновить boost до последней версии и внести исправления в соответствующий код asio. Еще ему пришлось обновить OpenSSL до последней версии для поддержки связки «darwin + arm64».

Процесс запуска ethminer на MacBook Air с M1.

Разработчик пояснил, что хэшрейт при майнинге Ethereum на Apple M1 достигает 2 Mh/s, это очень мало, но ему было интересно реализовать сам запуск этого процесса в экспериментальных целях. Гу выяснил, что новый MacBook Air может майнить криптовалюту Ethereum по $0.14 в сутки (по курсу на 26 февраля).

Для сравнения, на видеокарте GeForce GTX 1050 этот параметр составляет около 9 MH/s, а в новой GTX 3060 с урезанным в vBIOS в два раза хейшейте (выдает около 25 Mh/s) на майнинге Ethereum можно получить до $6 в сутки.

Пример достигаемых параметров хэшрейта на Apple M1.

Это не первый раз, когда энтузиасты используют Apple с M1 для майнинга. В декабре 2020 года разработчики из XMRig смогли на этом чипе майнить криптовалюту Monero.

6 User Friendly Ethereum GUI Mining Clients For Mac, Linux And Windows

With Cryptocurrency price stock shooting through the roof, BitCoin is making all the other altcoin a good choice. Ethereum and Cryptocurrency in general are designed from the ground up to be as open and transparent as possible. The client diversity is a huge win for the entire ecosystem, it lets us verify the protocol while keeping the door open for new innovation. However, due to the lack of GUI Client, it can be very confusing for end-users. We’ve compiled some of the more user friendly Ethereum mining software for the general public.

Why Ethereum Cryptocurrency instead of the more popular BitCoin? Ethereum is one of the most ambitious blockchain projects. It runs its own cryptocurrency, called Ether, but goes beyond being just digital currency. Ethereum is a decentralized platform that allows building smart contracts: decentralized applications (dapps) that run as they are coded without any possibility of censorship, downtime, fraud or third parties interference.

Ethereum Vs. Bitcoin: What Sets Them Apart? Cryptocurrency Ether could potentially prove more lucrative than Bitcoin. It’s been flying in Bitcoin’s shadow, but investors are taking notice of its powerful financial technology.

↓ 03 – MinerGate | Windows | macOS | Fedora | Ubuntu

MinerGate is a mining pool created by a group of cryptocoin enthusiasts. It is the first pool which provides service for merged mining. This means that while mining on our pool you can mine different coins simultaneously without decrease of hashrate for major coins.

↓ 04 – cpp-ethereum | Windows | macOS | Docker | Ubuntu

cpp-ethereum is the third most popular of the Ethereum clients, behind geth (the go client) and Parity (the rust client). The code is exceptionally portable and has been used successfully on a very broad range of operating systems and hardware. cpp-ethereum is extremely portable and is used on a very broad range of platforms.

↓ 05 – WinEth | Windows

Mining Ethereum just got easy with one click mining for AMD and NVidia Cards on Microsoft Windows. Mining ETH on Windows can be easy and profitable if you have appropriate hardware. The best hardware is a Gaming PC equipped with one or more high-end video cards. Mining is not feasible on low-end video cards or machines without dedicated video cards. You need to have a GPU (video card) with at least 4GB of memory for mining Ethereum. The Radeon HD 7970, R9 and RX series are all good choices. nVidia 1060 and 1080 cards also work well.

• Graphical Windows app targeting Win7 through Win10, 64-bit only
• CUDA and OpenCL – CUDA 5.2+ right now
• Automatically configures itself to Nanopool for the wallet address you provide
• Background (low power) mode and “Mine only when Idle” mode
• Automatic updates and automatic transmission of errors including GPU type and driver version using Microsoft Application Insights, so we can identify and resolve problems automatically
• There is a dev fee of one minute of mining every 100 minutes
• Binaries are signed with an extended verification signing certificate from digicode to provide some level of confidence it is not malware.

↓ 06 – Go Ethereum ( Official ) | Windows | macOS | Ubuntu

Go Ethereum is one of the three original implementations (along with C++ and Python) of the Ethereum protocol. It is written in Go, fully open source and licensed under the GNU LGPL v3. Go Ethereum is available either as a standalone client called Geth that you can install on pretty much any operating system, or as a library that you can embed in your Go, Android or iOS projects.

Mining Ether on a Mac

Is there an alpha mining client for mac? I’ve downloaded the «Proof of Concept client #3 for mac and I’ve got it running but I don’t see anything connecting or working. And there are no «mining» options that I can see. And I don’t see a link or info about the test mining clients.

Could someone please point me in the right direction or explain the current status of test mining with a mac.

Please and Thanks for any help or comments on subject matter!

Comments

For CPU minig you can use go-ethereum.

Will iterate over them with some additions and comments:

1) Install XCode from App Store (it may require OS X update)
2) Run XCode just to approve its licence
3) Install brew with command

4) update brew — this will be necessary also later when you will want to install later versions of go or cpp ethereum

brew update
brew doctor

5) install ethereum

brew tap ethereum/ethereum
brew install ethereum

6) verify version of geth and have a look at options

geth account new
geth —mine

This will
1) create DAG
2) start downloading blockchain
3) mine

I will follow this up with instructions for GPU mining. That is how far I’ve got by now.

GPU mining is trickier, at least atm while go-ethereum does not support it. This is research in progress for me so do not be too harsh

To start execute all the steps from my previous post, except «geth —mine» in the step 7

1) Install cpp-ethereum project

brew install cpp-ethereum
brew reinstall cpp-ethereum —devel —with-gpu-mining

This step may take an hour — depending on your system performance.

2) Execute some metrics

if this does not show you nice mega hashes, then you probably have the same issue as me

3) Start geth with —rpc option and also start up ethminer which will communicate with it over port 8545

Console 1:
geth —rpc

Console 2:
ethminer -G

Theoretically this should be it.

I am now struggling with «ethminer -G» (alternatively «ethminer -G —opencl-device 0») step which either segfaults or warns about memory fragmentation.

i’ve got Console 1: geth —rpc and Console 2: ethminer -G running and this is a sample of the output i’m getting. I’m also getting the memory frag warning as you can see but i do think i’m getting a higher hash so it must be working somewhat. any ideas?

UPDATE: So i have been able to see my through the geth console my hashrate and ether balance
I think i mined 1 block, ether balance = 1.5 hashrate states 384(sounds pretty poor)
still would be good to get my dual gpus mining

IS THIS REAL ETH I’M MINING? WHERE CAN I CHECK IF ITS GENERATING ANT ETH?

Thanks in advance!

All 0’s. What am I doing wrong? I use all the latest versions.

Tried to install with brew and it complained it needed llvm 3+ I have llvm 7 are there any other guides? I have a MacPro with 2 D700s

EDIT: found the brew issue list on github.

any can help me, and tell me if all is ok to mining in my MAC?

Am i GPU mining? Please help!

Following theses steps, where is the blockchain saved at, and where do mined ethers go? (sorry, I’m bloody new to this)

Edit: nvm, the wallet is visible in the ethereum wallet app.

Hi all! i have
miner 11:56:30.331| Mining on PoWhash #17056b8a… : 18362743 H/s = 7602176 hashes / 0.414 s
miner 11:56:30.760| Mining on PoWhash #17056b8a… : 18987065 H/s = 8126464 hashes / 0.42

but on mining pools my «workers» are 0. What can cause this problem?

How to get it all going.
For those like me who are getting their feet wet in this Ethereum mining . pool, as with Bitcoin mining, there are lots and lots of people who say «Dont’ bother. Run away. You will never make any money.» Well «yaa, boo, sux» to them. I’m investigating this because it’s interesting, and will be as big as the Internet in a day or so.
And things change. Things change daily. And there is money to be made. Not much admittedly, but some.

So after much head scratching — because yes, there are no DOCs, and what there is is often out of date by days, or even years at worst.
So this is what I have finally managed.
I have the Mist, Ethereum-Wallet installed on my Mac Mini. 16Gb RAM, 2TB Storage. A built up Late 2012 model. Not the fastest kid on the block, but what I can afford.
That unpacks into it’s own directory, that you can put anywhere you like. In that directory is two programs. One is called Ethereum-Wallet — with a Diamond as the icon. That’s the GUI. Don’t run that first actually, although you can if you want to have a look at it. It starts up in Test mode anyway. That’s fine. Create your valid account later. But the big secret is. Nothing will happen usefully until the whole thing synchronises the blocks. And there are millions . it can take days. So here’s what you do. You use the other program that comes with it called ‘geth’ to start the synchronising. It’s command line, so you need to be in a Terminal window.
First: Start Ethereum-Wallet to create the required system storage directories, then stop it.
Now.
cd to the directory where you put your unpacked program bundle, and type this in.
./geth —fast —ipcpath /Users/robert/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc
Press enter.
Note the —ipcpath option. Replace my name — robert — with your user account name on your mac. It’s your home directory. ok.

Now, go away for a few days. Go 5,000 miles away. Change your name. Begin a new life. . because synchronising will take like — forever.

Once it settles down, and starts pulling in blocks. You can watch the count by starting Ethereum-Wallet. Point Finder at it and double click. Once it starts, It will show you a running count of what is done, and what is left to do.
You can’t mine until it’s finished.
When you come back in a few days, months, years.

The next thing is Mining. Ahhh, show me the money. For this I will be using AlethZero. And guess what. A really nice package is available that contains AlethZero — a nice Ether mining app that runs ONLY on ElCaptain, and Yosemite. If you are pre that, forget it. Roll your own with that sodding Homebrew thing. Which I hate. Upgrade dude.
So these are pre-built DMG packages that jstt install right out of the bag. Nice. You also get Mix-ide. Forget that for now. What’s so nice about AlethZero, is that it’s Ether mining for the GPU, as well as the CPU, and I think mining rigs, although I haven’t investigated that yet. Like everything else to do with Ethereum and Bitcoin — There are NO instructions. One rubbish Video clip on Youtube that is like two years old. Shees.
You see, that’s what happens when everyone starts saying «No point now, the Chinese made all the money, don’t bother.»
But having said that, it’s actually pretty easy to figure out, and a nice GUI interface to go with it.
Again — don’t bother until your blocks are synchronised.

You will note that so far — I haven’t installed anything with Homebrew. That is so last year. If this is the technology that is taking over the world — then someone had better get off their butt, and create some decent software to run it all, and Instruction manuals.

The bottom line is. Yes, mining is slow, even for Bitcoin and Ethereum. But given the prices for both now, even small grains are becoming expensive. Look at it this way. No one throws out the gold dust in the bottom of the pan, just because its not a 5oz nugget do they.
