Title: Looking to start Litecoin mining... is there a thread for a great GPU/CPU miner?
Post by: Delicieuxz on March 01, 2013, 07:22:07 AM
I'm looking around and I'm not sure where to start on this. I have some time to kill before a new GFX card arrives, and I figured I'd do some CPU Litecoin mining in the meantime.

I am interested in this too. I thought that ltc was supposed to be cpu mined what happened? I have access to large amounts of cpu power, why not use a cpu to mine?

I need to know why I shouldn't mine LTC with cpu's? I thought that was the whole idea?

CPU mining is about 10x less efficient as compared to GPU mining, for instance my 2700k clocked at 4.5 GHz only nets me about 60 kh/s but uses about 225W.

So the power bill is insane okay thanks.  :)
