CreativeUpdate, as this latest crypto miner has been dubbed, is just the latest attempt to hit up Mac users, many of whom are lulled into a false sense of security fueled by the relatively low number of Mac-specific malware out there. Fixed a bug where bogus work was being generated at extreme hashrates. Aug 26, 2019 cgminer contains unofficial Mac binaries of cgminer, a command-line bitcoin mining tool. Cgminer is a combined FPGA, and ASIC bitcoin and litecoin miner written in C, cross-platform for Windows, Linux, and OS X, with stratum support, remote interface capabilities, support for multiple simultaneous mining devices, and advanced caching and detection algorithms that maximize cryptocoin mining.
Gui Miner Scrypt
Mine Bitcoin and Litecoin on Mac OS X - for free
and DogeCoin, VertCoin, QuarkCoin, MaxCoin, more
Simple like iOS, yet powerful like a Mac, this app gives you all the options. With the most powerful bitcoin and litecoin mining backends available on the Mac, Mac miners now have a user friendly application which even allows you to run the backends in the Terminal if you just want an easy installation of bfgminer, cgminer or cpuminer (minerd). Click & mine in moments.
The First Native Mac Miner
Built as a friendly GUI for the relatively complex array of command line Bitcoin mining software for Mac, MacMiner is the first 100% native Bitcoin miner for Mac. This means you can set up and start mining in seconds, without worrying about complex install processes traditionally associated with mac miners. Dont know how to mine Bitcoins on Mac OS X? Don't worry! You'll be up and running in no time.
Pretty and Powerful
All three of the most relevant mining backends are included in this mining software, bfgminer, cgminer and cpuminer. This gives you the flexibility to choose whichever runs faster for your setup, whether you're CPU, GPU, FPGA or ASIC mining Bitcoin, Litecoin or any compatible Alt Coin - including DogeCoin, VertCoin, QuarkCoin and MaxCoin - faster than an asteroid. Each miner window has a full set of tailored options for ease of use and there is a detailed API Output window which even allows you to monitor other miners on the network that are using cgminer or bfgminer.
Totally Open Source
The Cryptocoin community holds ethics and public source software in the highest esteem, and MacMiner aims to contribute to the pool by releasing our full app on Github, so users can compile it for themselves from scratch and make sure all the code is up to standard. MacMiner is written in Objective-C and the backends are coded in C/C++.
This is the initial bfgminer release for the FutureBit Moonlander 2 USB Scrypt Miner. Please note this release is compiled for ONLY Moonlander 2 support. Mailwasher free. All other drivers have been stripped (including origonal Moonlander). Binaries are attached below for almost every system.
All binaries require latest sililabs VPC Driver to work with the Moonlander 2. Even if you installed it before, make sure you install the latest version since the Moonlander 2 uses a new chip.
Download UART VPC driver for your system here: https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
System Specific Notes:
Linux: Binaries require dependencies to be installed, at the very least youll need libcurl4-gnutls-dev and
libjansson-dev. Root privligaes are also required to run the miner so in terminal cd to extracted directory and run sudo ./start_moonlander2.sh

Usb Scrypt Miner
Screen grab for mac os x. Mac: Just double click the start_moonlander executable at the root of the folder to start miner.
Mac Os X Update
MAC OS 10.13 HIGH SIERRA USERS: Sililabs drivers will NOT work with the newest version of OS X, and you cannot run the stick with this version until Sililabs provides a driver update!
Windows: Your anti-virus software will most likely delete bfgminer.exe on extraction, make sure you add an exception to anti-virus rules. Just double click start_moonlander.bat file to start miner.
