Title: Help in the input litecoin
Post by: Speedy82 on December 04, 2013, 10:11:31 PM
hello, this is my first post from newbie, how do you think I can handle with this pc:
E8300@3.6 Ghz
2x2GB dDR2
GTX 560Ti

How do I get started?
I have already downloaded the official client from litecoin and I downloaded 600mb of blockchain, but I do not know how to do, you would know help me?
Thank you very much!

You are hardly going to earn anything with mining with that gear. I have a GTX 660Ti and I'm pretty sure it costs more for me to mine than I gain (electricity costs).

This guy explains pretty much everything one needs to know to get started with litecoins:

You might also want to look at https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison since the hardware he mentions is hard to get.

It is true, NVidia cards are not power effecient for mining, you have to use ATI cards instead
