I have the same problem, can change the start.sh but it doesn’t affect anything. Keeps mining for ‘1GaGRtcCjb7ThaDgDLjgVwV8fctzEf12ct’.
This only happens when I open the nheqminer, when dragging start.sh it doesn’t work.

Go to dir in terminal and change start.sh and start it from there in terminal or wait till gui is out. Sry for rushing this early version out. gui has all you need. Start, stop, configs etc.
Cd to dir and type start.sh. Works.
Works ok but i dont know if worth to keep it while sleeping. A mac is more precious than a ZEC .
1 Download this:
https://github.com/justvanbloom/nheqminer/raw/kost/mac/nheqminer.zip
2 Go to downloads folder copy nheqminer to MAC desktop.
3 Go inside nheqminer folder to desktop and right click on start.sh > Open with TextEdit then edit your Zec address and mining pool. > Command + S to save edited file.
4 Open terminal then inside terminal use this commands :
cd Desktop
cd nheqminer
./start.sh
Copy and paste in terminal line by line.
Then Should start and see like this.
Thank you justvanbloom.

Hey @justvanbloom, thanks for this! Sent donation for sure!
Quick question: does the GPU mining for AMD work with this port (-od parameter)? Can that be added?
For the folks not used to terminal / command line stuff, here’s what I would suggest:
Hope that helps.
Thx. For the gpu currently porting silentarmy to os x. So, will be integrated in next release with gui.
wondering how much improvement silentarmy will bring? any guesses?
Today finalizing for release.

Thank you for your work. I have an old Mac Pro (2010) whose CPU predates Intel’s AVX extensions. Will xenoncat’s code work on this processor? Will you be making a ReadMe file?
Should. Just try it. The gui version should autoswitch to best matching solver.
I’m getting this

I just copied and pasted a jaxx wallet address in and used a random password. Was that incorrect?
You need a pool to mine. For solo mining you need a full node.
I had stratum+tcp://zec-eu.suprnova.cc:2142 and retyped just the example pool info you had already and neither worked. Is there something else I need to do to become a part of the pool?
Flypool’s seems to be working. I’ll mess with the other pools later. Thank you!
for server_port: zec.suprnova.cc:2142
For Supernova you need to fill your Weblogin.Worker on ZecAddress (Weblogin.Worker)
and your pass after you created the worker in the dashboard by supernova
From pool to pool diffrent.
Excellent work! V2 works perfect after I updated to macOS 10.12.1.
I’m using it with the suprnova pool and just added my worker details into the box for zcash address.
I’ve created a video showing the miner in action on my iMac 2.5GHz i5 @ 13 Sols/s
