Damn.

Please, the Mac client.

Bump, this would be pretty interesting

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>

I cannot copy to root, I get an error message saying "you cannot replace opt because it's invisible"

Well I have set osx to show all invisibles, no opt in root but cannot copy to there. I'm stuck. Halp?

I managed to succeed using the first way. MacBook Pro early 2011 i7920 with 8Gb and 2 HDDn.

Laptop running at 87-94 degrees with manual fan control at full. Jeebus. Where to set thread count?

Thanks

*edit Finder still does not show the "opt" folder in root, and I have set Mavericks to show hidden files and folders - triple checked the commando with different casing from Mountain Lion.

Hey, I have about half a btc for PTSs, can you give me an btc address to send to please.

I could take the PTSs to here: PhaBRC4L7pnbhrsU92SnGskbNUb1vc7jS8
