Bytemaster, Thanks for helping out with the mac client. I didn't notice that README file in the tar file. dooh!
pool-miner is running good now... getting 31.3 hpm on this MacBook Pro Retina! that is nearly twice as fast as my 16 core xeon Dell Poweredge server... amazing.
Just to be clear for other mac users:
To run the alpha-miner client
----------------------------------------
once you've downloaded the file from the 1st page of this archive, double click on it to extract the files from the archive
then open up a terminal window
cd to the directory with your pool-miner file in it.
type the following: sudo cp -R opt/local /opt/
you will have to enter an admin password before the files will copy.
then run the program.... type: ./pool-miner the-iland.net <your PTS address here>
I hope this helps someone else out.
Here's a 2nd method too for Mac users. Someone already hosed their computer earlier when they screwed up the cp command.
Open terminal, type "open /", press enter. (Finder will open)
Drag Alphaminer's 'opt' directory and pool_miner into this location. Enter your admin password when prompted.
In terminal, start the miner using: cd / && ./pool_miner the-iland.net <your PTS address here without brackets>
