Ccminer_macosThis repository is forked from Tanguy Pruvot (tpruvot) to create a macOS version of ccminer to run easily on mac computers with NVidia eGPU's or Hackintosh.Originally based on Christian Buchner's & Christian H.'s CUDA project, no more active on github since 2014.Check the README.txt for the additionsMost work done on ccminer is done by others such as tpruvot so I'll just leave his BTC donation address here: 1AJdfCpLWPNoAMDfHF1wD5y8VgKSSTHxPo (tpruvot)If you appreciate the macos specifics, you can use the following donation address forETH: 0x8FE5b2E81C265814e653574a4136480Fa294370dA part of the recent algos were originally written by djm34 and alexis78This variant was tested and built on MacOS (High Sierra) and runs using a NVidia GTX 1060 6GB (Zotac mini) in an Akitio Thunder 2 case that connects to a mac mini using thunderbolt 2.The recommended CUDA Toolkit version was the 9.1, but some light algos could be faster with the version 7.5 and 8.0 (like lbry, decred and skein).Prerequisites#Step 1: Install NVidia webdriversYour NVidia GPU should work with your Mac as eGPU or with your HackintoshUse the following guide for the latest instructions on installing the drivers for your eGPUhttps://egpu.io/forums/mac-setup/wip-nvidia-egpu-support-for-high-sierra/paged/1/I used the follwoing for High Sierra 10.13.3:Download this script to easy install NVidia's webdriver: https://github.com/vulgo/webdriver.shOpen a terminal and cd into the directory this script is downloadedFind the your version of MacOS (about this mac -> system overview -> software: e.g. Systemversion macOS 10.13.2 (17C89))Find the link for the nvidia web drivers that correspond to your mac's version and copy the link to the webdrivers on https://egpu.io/forums/mac-setup/wip-nvidia-egpu-support-for-high-sierra/paged/1/In the previously opened terminal, run the following command (past the link copied from the previous step over the https://...pkg):sudo ./webdriver.sh -cu https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/387/WebDriver-387.10.10.10.25.156.pkgThis should install the NVidia's webdrivers and will issue a restart, but the GPU is not detected yet. The following step are necessary to detect the GPU succesfully.Reboot
