Need to make it QT4 backwards compatible and or the choice to go CLI and GUI as an option. I run OSX 10.9 ( i might upgrade I have 10.10 - 10.13.2 ) on a Dell Latitude E6410 i5 machine and was really excited to see a .dmg as I had been working and finished porting the client to PPC64 ( the power series CPU is still running strong currently Power8 ) and there are many IBM blade systems that would be great to run Gridcoin nodes on along with an excess of G3-G4-G5 Mac's that are capable machines especially if you run Linux on them. Unfortunately Hackintosh OSx86 10.9 will not install the needed X-code tools to brew QT5 so OS X 10.10 I would assume is a minimum requirement for the Gridcoin client until someone ports and compiles a QT4 version option , this limits a large market of spare machines sitting collecting dust... If I knew more about OSX I would do it myself , but there is a need for a client for older systems not just bleeding edge. Yep I will repost and continue to get on your ass about this until you do something about it.. I might start on your Github in issues if you keep ignoring.

We used to have Qt4 support but it was removed (#792 and #801) since it was unnecessary maintaining support for an unmaintained Qt series. The minimum requirement is now Qt 5.0 unless there are some compile issues which haven't showed up when building with <5.6. You could try Qt 5.5 which supports OSX 10.7.
