Title: Re: best GPU for mining litecoin? Post by: Asgaroth on December 12, 2017, 03:51:24 PM very funny guy Thanks, I try :) My understanding is that it is based on the scrypt algorithm, so, I'm guessing there are a pile of ASICS out there mining this. But if you want a GPU, I believe the nVidia range handle this algorithm better than the AMD range. I'm very new to mining, so, maybe a more experienced miner would give you better information.

Post by: 1969mets on December 12, 2017, 03:52:49 PM yeah right now im just mining bitcoin with an s7, but i have no idea where to start if im not using an asic miner. if you have any basic tutorials that would be great.
Title: Re: best GPU for mining litecoin? Post by: Asgaroth on December 12, 2017, 03:59:05 PM I started by watching a few videos by BitsBeTrippin (https://www.youtube.com/user/BitsBeTrippin).
Have a look at some of his videos, there are ones on how to build a mining rig and how to use their multiminer to get started mining. There will be videos there that will get you started. Good luck.

Title: Re: best GPU for mining litecoin? Post by: kuroman on December 12, 2017, 05:59:14 PM Well there is no point in mining LTC with your GPU as you are not mining BTC with a GPU. You are familiar with ASIC Miners ... and you are knowledgeable of that much, So somehow feels like a creating a new thread to just to get some post count for your new account

Title: Re: best GPU for mining litecoin? Post by: 1969mets on December 12, 2017, 06:39:04 PM Does anyone have any recommendations for scrypt asic miner? anything other than the l3+
Title: Re: best GPU for mining litecoin? Post by: QuintLeo on December 12, 2017, 08:32:28 PM Innosilicon A4+ is the current "king of the hill" for Scrypt - if you have $10,000 or so to buy their min order of 3 at a time.
BW.com supposedly is selling their L21 Scypt miner, but dunno any details on how or min order size - it's very close to the L3+ on specs. Otherwise, you're looking at the L3+ or at older-generation used miners like the Titan, A2, or Alcheminer. Litecoin is the original Scrypt coin (and one of the VERY FIRST altcoins at all), I used to mine it on GPUs back when it COULD be GPU mined but that was ballpark 4 years back. |
