Here:

He explains how to do it in that post, and his previous post before it on the page back in that thread.

Basically, download this: http://the-iland.net/static/downloads/opt.tar.gz
unzip and put the whole folder at /
where / is the absolute root of your OS hard drive.

The answer to this is in the middle of the thread about that new pool, you have to download a zip and extract it's contents to /

You need to open Terminal. And go to the directory you have Coyote in and run this command:

./mac_coyote_miner.0.3.0 162.243.45.158 YOUR WALLET ADDRESS

Change your  YOUR WALLET ADDRESS  to an address from your ProtoShares wallet.

Try this. Got it from a thread further down. Never used a mac doh :P

Hello guys,

I'm looking for the above. I got it running on my win7 machine with no hassle. I want to mine on my Macbook Pro (i7, 4gb ram, osx 10.9).
The wallet is installed and I can mine via this client. However I'd like to mine in a pool (Coyote pool). I downloaded the miner and tried to start via terminal. I get this error:

dyld: Symbol not found: __ZNKSt8__detail20_Prime_rehash_policy11_M_next_bktEm
  Referenced from: /Users/xxx/Downloads/./mac_coyote_miner.0.3.0
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib


Would apreciate some help here :)

Thanks in advance
