Unable to see minining option in my Ethereum Wallet application

Question

I just installed it and moved to test network but it won't show me the option to mine any ether

Answer 1

This is just a Wallet, you can not mine ETH with it.

You can look into other options if you want to mine ETH, for example:

EthMine:(open source software): https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer

For a beginner is easier to join a mining pool, like:

• Ethpool: https://ethpool.org/
• DwarfPool: https://dwarfpool.com/eth

Answer 2

I am seeing you are using macOS, so you may consider a bit patched version of the ethminer software at

GitHub - Ethereum miner with OpenCL, CUDA, and stratum support for macOS.

The root cause of this problem is disable "-fcoalesce-templates" attribute for Boost compilation in Hunter for CMake. But, anyway, for me that was only way to use on the latest macOS Catalina 10.15.6.

Thanks!
