I think I have one last hang up. I have look all over the interweb for an answer to this. I have my drivers installed and my config ready to go. My pools config is as follows:

"pools" : [
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://us.wemineltc.com:80",
                "user" : "user.x",
                "pass" : "xxxxx"
        },
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.wemineltc.com:3333",
                "user" : "user.x",
                "pass" : "xxxxx"
        },
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum2.wemineltc.com:3333",
                "user" : "user.x",
                "pass" : "xxxxx"
        }
]

but when I go to connect I get "http://" in front of it like this and it fails to connect.

tratum+tcp://us.wemineltc.com:80

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? ???

Change stratum+tcp://us.wemineltc.com:80 to http://us.wemineltc.com:80

Looking at the error more closely, just putting us.wemineltc.com:80 should suffice, I think both will work though as I think it is smart enough to figure out if you omit http:// or not

That version of cgminer is also ancient... I don't even remember when I added scrypt support to cgminer to mine LTC but it has had a billion bugfixes since then.

What version should I go with? I just used a different pool but I can't get it above 380KH/s with 100% rejects regardless of settings.

I am using 2.11.1 cgminer.. working fine

btw.. even mining against my stratum server.. i just use http

       {
                "url" : "http://pool.ejpool.info:9333",
                "user" : "WKNiGHT.1",
                "pass" : "x"
        },

second that
