Title: [LTC] Producing nothing but Invalids Post by: blazingsolos on April 04, 2013, 09:35:10 PM Hey everyone, I'm new to mining; I can't seem to produce anything or recieve shares despite having a pretty okay hashrate. Could anybody point me in the right direction here? I have screen capped what my cgminer looks like. https://i.imgur.com/x5l1LD1.png

Also, *bump* Title: Re: [LTC] Producing nothing but Invalids Post by: blazingsolos on April 04, 2013, 09:53:29 PM That's not an very nice thing to say about the Litecoin community. Also, *bump* Referring to the title, I assume?

I'm really sorry, I don't know much about mining. I just googled and found this quote, it might shed some light for you: Quote An invalid share might be a share you submitted with an error in calculations, or possibly a stale share, depending on the pool implementation. A possible reason for a rejection of a share might be that the pool doesn't use difficulty 1 as the target, while some miners might try submitting those shares There is also a possibility that your miner makes some mistakes while calculating hashes, but that is less likely The pool might be poorly implemented and make some mistakes A reason for a stale share might be that: The pool does not use long polling, thus it doesn't inform the miners when to update their getwork All in all, you should ask other people whether they have the same problem for the given pool, and try mining using a different miner and a different computer and see if the problem persists.

I appreciate it; I still can't seem to find the root of the problem though.

Add --scrypt to your cgminer parameters. Title: Re: [LTC] Producing nothing but Invalids Post by: Scott J on April 04, 2013, 10:15:38 PM That'll do it ;D
Title: Re: [LTC] Producing nothing but Invalids Post by: blazingsolos on April 04, 2013, 10:21:21 PM p.s. Add --scrypt to your cgminer parameters. Hmmm, I did that and I've dropped from 172.0Mh/s to 15Kh/s. Title: Re: [LTC] Producing nothing but Invalids Post by: icem3lter on April 04, 2013, 10:30:01 PM p.s.

You can increase the hashrate by tweaking Consolidated Litecoin Mining Guide for 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx GPUs https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117221.0 Title: Re: [LTC] Producing nothing but Invalids Post by: lbr on April 04, 2013, 10:38:47 PM p.s.

Well.. it kinda up to you - 1) Produce invalids with 172MH/s 2) Produce valids with 16 KH/s : D You want to check this hardware comparison - https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison Title: Re: [LTC] Producing nothing but Invalids Post by: blazingsolos on April 04, 2013, 10:40:54 PM p.s.
