MacMiner Reddit Update Fixes Key Issues

The latest update to MacMiner, a popular cryptocurrency mining software, has addressed several known issues and added new features. One of the most significant changes is the fix for curly quotes in manual configuration editing. This issue has been plaguing users who prefer to edit their settings manually.

To bypass the gatekeeper warning when running MacMiner, right-click or control-click on the app and choose 'Open'. If you're concerned about the lack of codesigning, you can always compile the software from source code.

The new update also brings support for several new algorithms and cryptocurrencies, including Credits, Scrypt, NScrypt, Pascal, X11, X13, X14, X15, Keccak, Quarkcoin, Twecoin, Fugue256, NIST, Fresh, Whirlcoin, Neoscrypt, WhirlpoolX, Lyra2RE, Lyra2REV2, Pluck, Yescrypt, Yescrypt-multi, Blakecoin, Blake, Sia, Decred, Vanilla, Lbry, and Sibcoin. This expanded support is only available on macOS 10.11 or later.

Other notable changes include the addition of SGMiner backend support for many coins in the GPU miner window, minor GUI updates to reflect past changes, and fixes for scrypt adaptive-n GPU mining. Users are advised to add the manual flag '-nfactor 11' when using this feature.

Additionally, MacMiner now supports GPU ethereum mining, although this is a basic implementation that requires all flags, including pool, username, and password, to be entered manually.

The software's downloads have been moved to the Github project releases page for easier access. Other notable additions include support for Gekkoscience devices in CGMiner and several fixes for CPU mining, including Vertcoin (Lyra2REv2), X17, Decred, Cryptonight-Light (Aeon), neoscrypt, and yescrypt.

Overall, this update addresses several key issues and adds new features to make MacMiner a more comprehensive and user-friendly cryptocurrency mining software.
