i need help mining on mac.

i already launched wownerod successfully, added my wallet address to "miner.conf" (do I need to add spendkey?)

Typed: `./wownerod --start-mining MY-ADDRESS  --spendkey SECRET-SPENDKEY`

But nothing's happening?

[wowario]

if you want to use "miner.conf" file, you need to type:

`./wownerod --config-file=miner.conf`

alternatively, you can type the full command in the terminal as:

` ./wownerod --start-mining MY-ADDRESS --spendkey SECRET-SPENDKEY`

to check your mining status, type `status`

I tried ./wownerod --config-file=miner.conf

but nothing.

Am i doing this correctly?

*connect by entering*: /Users/admin/Downloads/wownero_macOS_v0.10.0.0_beefa5e62e/wownerod

*then enter*: `./wownerod --config-file=miner.conf`

check if wownerod is being blocked by macos https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/mac

enter your wallet address and secret spend key in miner.conf file

run `./wownerod --config-file=miner.conf`

nice! but now im getting

'Specify wallet file name (e.g., MyWallet). If the wallet doesn't exist, it will be created.'

where to find my wallet name?

[wowario]

you name it whatever you want

to get wallet address, type `address`

to get secret spend key, type `spendkey`

thanks!

im now getting

'background mining is enabled, but not started, waiting until start triggers'

then entered: ./wownerod --config-file=miner.conf

which says

unknown command: ./wownerod --config-file=miner.conf ?

how to start?

[wowario]

you should disable background in wallet. type `set setup-background-mining 0`
exit the wallet
you need to run the wownerod command from terminal

finally got it working thank you wowario!
