We could not get MinerGate to work on our system. Each time we tried to mine XMR, we got "CPU: Waiting for connection". Then it would show "network error" in the MinerGate dashboard. Also, MinerGate does not show the AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo GPU. This would likely only be profitable CPU mining Monero, but MinerGate also charges a fee. This is likely not an optimal solution to mine even on the highest end Mac Pro. Visit for the latest crypto mining software and install guides for macOS and Windows.
