Title: LTC mining CGminer NEED SOME HELP
Post by: monbux on August 06, 2013, 02:14:41 AM
A newbie miner here... want to try mining some LTC now, easier and I guess it is more profitable for casual users.  I really need help with CGminer..  I have no idea how to do it.  Does anyone have a step-by-step guide anyone can understand and use?  I would really need it... thanks in advance.

Did a Google search for "How to mine litecoins with cgminer", this is the very first site that came up. Sometimes just gotta do a little Google work before people start getting on you.

Type something like this in the command prompt if the CGminer folder is on your desktop:

Desktop\cgminer-3.3.1-windows\cgminer --scrypt -o stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3334 -u XXX -p XXX --thread-concurrency 8192  -g 1 -w 256 -I 12 (for my 5850s and 6670)
Desktop\cgminer-3.3.1-windows\cgminer --scrypt -o stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3334 -u XXX -p XXX --thread-concurrency 8192  -g 2 -w 256 -I 12 (for the 7970)

You should read the README and SCRYPT-README files provided with cgminer.
