I have no idea where the error should be. Can anyone understand this exception?

[jon4hz]

Seems like you're trying to run miningcore on a macbook. I highly doubt miningcore supports that. Can you try on linux?

[xmr-dev]

I don't think the mac is causing the error, I'm running this on ubuntu 22.04 and I'm also getting the error.
@VaderCoinCryptoNote do you try to run Monero? I would rather think it's config related / daemon & RPC

Did you resolve this?

The error
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

So the problem was that the config in the examples was not up to date.
The section is
"api": { "enabled": true, // Binding address (Default: 127.0.0.1) "listenAddress": "127.0.0.1", // Binding port (Default: 4000) "port": 4000, // IP address whitelist for requests to Prometheus Metrics (default 127.0.0.1) "metricsIpWhitelist": [], // Limit rate of requests to API on a per-IP basis "rateLimiting": { "disabled": false, // disable rate-limiting all-together, be careful // override default rate-limit rules, refer to https://github.com/stefanprodan/AspNetCoreRateLimit/wiki/IpRateLimitMiddleware#defining-rate-limit-rules "rules": [ { "Endpoint": "*", "Period": "1s", "Limit": 5 } ], // List of IP addresses excempt from rate-limiting (default: none) "ipWhitelist": [] } },

is missing from the examples, which comes down to the error I had.

Will created a PR this week with the correct config
