Since I can't make a new topic, go check this out!!!! Found it the other day. HUGE thanks to the dev that made this work!!!!

https://github.com/ganzocrypt/xmrig-macos/releases

That XMRig Release has allowed me to Use the KawPow algo on Unmineable using the GPU in my macbook pro AMD Pro 5300M 4GB

Get the configGPU.json file, rename it to config.json, in the OpenCL section set KawPow index to 1 (otherwise, it'll try to use the intel gpu), then under pools, set the algo to "kawpow", and set url to the pool url, and "user" as your wallet (or, if using unmineable, COIN:wallet.user#referral)

Enjoy, and you're welcom! :)

It's inside the XMRIG folder wherever the xmrig executable is when you downloaded it. Create the folder if it doesn't exist, can name the folder with the executable and config file to whatever you want
