A video of running XMRig/6.10.0 clang/12.0.0 (ARM Build) on an Apple MacBook M1 Air. We mined Monero (XMR) for an hour. This is the MacBook Air 8-Core CPU AND 8-Core GPU model (not 7-core GPU) with 16GB of Ram. Our average hash-rate was around 1800 H/s but decreased slowly likely due to our video recording. Out average wattage draw from the wall was around 18-19 Watts. Visit for the latest crypto mining software and install guides for macOS and Windows.
Earnings:
Current Monero markets and at the average hashrate of 1800 H/s would say this MacBook Air would mine around $0.15 a day at an average 18-19 wattage at 24/7. This would come to be $1.07 a week, $4.61 a month, and $56 a year - minus electric costs.
