Hey folks, Recently I bought the recent Mac mini with the new M1 ARM processor. I thought maybe I could mine some xmr with that machine and if it's not profitable enough, it would be fun anyway. So I started to use the pre-compiled XMRig version for MacOS from their website but that version is for Intel processors and I loose a lot of computing power. Since I don't pay any electricity in my flat (OK generally I payfor it but it's included in my rent so I don't bother thinking about it) and the Mac mini has no lack in performance while running XMRrig Intel version, I though you could help me compile the current arm version for MacOS with homebrew. I wasn't able to find any useful or understandable information. Thank you in advance for your answers EDIT: I did it! I successfully compiled xmrig for the ARM architecture. Openssl was the problem, so I compiled this manually for arm and et voila: it's working. Unfortunately is worse than running this with rosetta 2 on a intel architecture program. Here you can compare the XMRig with Intel and ARM. XMRig on ARM is the first program, that makes my Mac mini extremely hot. It even crashed for a short time earlier. I have no clue what's going on but this are the results. //EDIT 2 I compiled XMRig 6.7.0 DEV with M1 Support. For all who don't know how to do it: git clone -b dev https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git mkdir xmrig/build && cd xmrig/scripts ./build.hwloc.sh && cd ../build cmake .. -DUV_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/homebrew/include -DUV_LIBRARY=/opt/homebrew/lib/libuv.a -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl -DHWLOC_INCLUDE_DIR=../scripts/deps/include -DHWLOC_LIBRARY=../scripts/deps/lib/libhwloc.a make -j$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu) here you can see \"Apple Processor\" but unfortunately without huge pages i mined a whole night with the peak ok 3.725 kh/s
