Title: Help, cant get cgminer to work!
Post by: coolamasta on July 01, 2013, 01:31:04 PM
Ran through the install guide for cgminer in Windows for LTC, all went perfectly but when I run it I get the below:

C:\CGminer>cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3334/ -u xxxx -p xxxx -I 20 -w 128 -g 1
[2013-07-01 14:26:46] cgminer: --scrypt: unrecognized option

(Obviously I am using my username & password where xxxx is)

Any ideas people?

remove -i 20 -w 128 -g 1

and try again... also remove that backslash at the end of the port

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3334 -u xxxx -p xxxx

That should be good

Strange... what version of cgminer are you using?  Maybe try another version.

Not sure why it is saying that --scrypt is an invalid option :(
