Any tips on how to actually run it on a MacBook? Not ashamed to say I’m very new to GitHub stuff (plus I’m asking because I think others will want to know too).

I am also a noobie 👊 but was able to get it running with a few commands.

I started here: https://github.com/grunch/rana

Then I installed rust using the command here:

https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

I then ran the following command as told at the rana github:

cargo install rana

From there I was able to run rana in the terminal. It went pretty smooth and I might have got lucky. Haha

Also for reference I am running a 2015 MacBook pro with mojave 10.14.6.

Brilliant! And thanks - excellent starting points (have the same MacBook Pro at the mo too 😄). 🤙🏼⚡️

👊 they are nice machines!! good luck mining!

Thanks! 🤙🏼 How’s your battery doing? Mine’s pretty dead now.

It seems ok, but this mining activity is doing some damage to it! Haha

Cool! And yes it will push it 😂. Tried to get a vanity npub with another program (forget it’s name now) but it struggled when I went for 7 characters. I can only use my MBP when it’s permanently plugged in. Unplug it and the battery just doesn’t retain a charge. Still a workhorse but probably time for a new M2 one…

Mine pretty much stays plugged in 24/7 these days too.

Yep!
