Mining on Integrated Graphics

Hello Forum:

 

At the current moment, I am forced to use a Macbook Pro from late 2011 that operates on Integrated Graphics. For kicks and giggles I have decided that I am going to start mining some Dogecoin or some Litecoin, and was wondering if anybody could link me to an OSx based mining program. 

 

Before you all explode and tell me how it's not profitable, it's a waste of time, or how I'm never going to get anything out of this, I know. I am completely aware of it. I am doing this purely for fun, and nothing else.

MacMiner looks the best to me, but I've never used any of them. You'll have to research to see if they will work with your CPU/GPU/

Asteroid is the best miner for mac. But mining on a Mac is useless. Trust me i've tried it.

Eh I mine with my laptop. Since I built my desktop I figured might as well use my old laptop for something, it has gt550m in it and is getting 35KH/s, My desktop gets 450 KH/s. The laptop may not be much but it almost gets me to 500 KH/s in total so I'm almost satisfied :D

Maybe- Just maybe- If I use all 8 ancient laptops (big family, I'm the youngest, I got all the hand-me-downs) maybe I can get 50 KH/s :D

No, not really. I get about 10fps on source based games. .-. 

 

Can't wait for this new rig to come in (in signature) :D
