Not technically. However, there's a new mining pool that allows you to mine any coin with with CPU. See our post viewtopic.php?f=4&t=101

> Cryptomining ANY coin macOS using RandomX (GPU) - ethminer
it seems to be able to use GPU or ?

it really can't be set up for intel MAC?

i've been trying to use ethminer, by downloading the darwing file here : https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethm ... .0-alpha.0
someone on redit told me to get that one, but i can't figure out how to configure the script... :cry:

You can use ethminer but the guide is for ARM macs as I've said. Later versions of macOS do not support that version you referenced anymore

ok but do you know of a setup or version to use ethermine + GPU on MAC OS ?
special script to add? it would really be more convenient for me to mine on Mac instead of Bootcamp..
thanks

Sorry to insist and ask again, but before trying Bootcamp, i want to know if there's a way to setup or a script to allow mining with GPU?

I've said only for ARM Mac's, no support for Intel Mac and later versions of macOS. So that's that.
