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 7Then execute 1) Install cpp-ethereum projectbrew install cpp-ethereumbrew reinstall cpp-ethereum --devel --with-gpu-miningThis step may take an hour - depending on your system performance.2) Execute some metricsethminer -G -Mif this does not show you nice mega hashes, then you probably have the same issue as me3) Start geth with --rpc option and also start up ethminer which will communicate with it over port 8545Console 1:geth --rpcConsole 2:ethminer -GTheoretically 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.ethereum identity0 tsul 6 May 2015 0 tsul 6 May 2015 0 mcmike313 27 May 2015 ive followed all the steps i can find and when running geth --mine or geth --rpc all i see is:I0516 11:37:32.733685 34904 chain_manager.go:628] imported 1 block(s) (0 queued 0 ignored) in 4.282471ms.ethereum 900

0 i2343 1 June 2016 0 ShanghaiTimes 25 June 2016 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.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 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much admittedly, but some.So after much head scratching - because yes, there are no DOCs, and what there is is often out of date by days, or even years at worst.So this is what I have finally managed.I have the Mist, Ethereum-Wallet installed on my Mac Mini.16Gb RAM, 2TB Storage.A built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.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.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.cd to the directory where you put your unpacked program bundle, and type this in../geth --fast --ipcpath /Users/robert/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipcPress 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.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.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.Upgrade dude.So these are pre-built DMG packages that jstt install right out of the bag.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.You see, that's what happens when everyone starts saying "No point now, the Chinese made all the money, don't bother."Buthaving 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... 0 zedzednova 53 June 2016 0 ShanghaiTimes 25 June 2016 //Homebrew/install/master/install)"4) update brew - this will be necessary also later when you will want to install later versions of go or cpp ethereumbrew updatebrew doctor5) install ethereumbrew tap ethereum/ethereumbrew install ethereum6) verify version of geth and have a look at optionsgeth --help6) start mininggeth account newgeth --mineThis will 1) create DAG2) start downloading blockchain3) mineI will follow this up with instructions for GPU mining.

The sync took maybe 25-30 minutes and now I usually leave geth running in it's own terminal window to keep the blockchain DB up to date.When I run mist now, it determines that I already have geth running and automatically uses it.I have conducted a number of transactions and voted on a number of TheDAO proposals with no problems.For mining I am using a separate GPU mining rig with a single MSI R7 370 Gaming 4G GPU.It runs ethOS which is a tweaked version of ubuntu 14.04.The mining rig points directly to the pool and is earning me a bit over 1 ETH per week.I see the deposits from the mining pool in my mist mining account with a dedicated wallet so I can see the transactions.Cheers,- zed This is really useful stuff.So it looks like I'm going to be better off buying a good PC, one of these cards, and setting up the same way.Clean and straight forward.Thanks.Meantime, I'm still struggling with trying to get cpp-ethereum built on the Mac.0 zedzednova 53 June 2016 @.They have some nice MOBO bundles that includes everything you need to mine except GPU and PSU.
