OS X Mavericks Go Build

To get the officially compiled PoC5 client to mine on my Macbook Pro (Mavericks). I had to start it this way:
exec "/Applications/Ethereal.app/Contents/MacOS/Ethereal" -seed=false

Simply double-clicking the Ethereal.app downloadable and running it that way would not allow me to mine any ether. It also seems to get stuck on 1 peer and never connects to any other ones.

    Hi @cphi. Starting the client with -seed=false will of course prevent the client from attempting to connect to the peer server. You then have to manually add peer by hitting cmd+p and typing the IP address of a valid peer. You can obtain peers by asking on IRC Freenode channel #ethereum.

    That said, what happened here is likely the peer server being down for maintenance while you were attempting to run the client. Try again today, should work fine.

    Thanks for the reply @Stephan_Tual. The peer server being down looks like it was causing my problems. Everything is syncing now and I can mine once again. I am able to auto connect to 6 peers.

    Thanks!
