Take steps to adequately cool your device and/or proceed at your own risk.Ĭgminer is a combined FPGA and ASIC bitcoin miner written in C, cross platform for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, with stratum support, remote interface capabilities, support for multiple simultaneous mining devices, and advanced caching and detection algorithms that maximize cryptocoin mining efficiency. It is highly recommended not to mine on a 'compact' Mac unless it is to a USB device.
The cooling design of most compact Macs such as MacBooks, iMacs and Mac Minis, despite having powerful GPUs, will usually not cope with constant usage leading to a high risk of thermal damage.
