MacMiner

Numerous windows of MacMiner’s GUI

MacMiner is the first Bitcoin, Litecoin and Altcoins mining app developed specifically for Mac.

All three of the most relevant mining backends are included in this mining software, bfgminer, cgminer and cpuminer. This gives the user the flexibility to choose whichever runs faster for their setup, whether they’re CPU, GPU, FPGA or ASIC mining Bitcoin, Litecoin or any compatible Alt Coin – including Dogecoin, VertCoin, QuarkCoin and MaxCoin – faster than an asteroid. Each miner window has a full set of tailored options for ease of use and there is a detailed API Output window which even allows one to monitor other miners on the network that are using cgminer or bfgminer.
