Title: lucrative Post by: stoetel1 on December 25, 2013, 11:03:50 AM I was mining since yesterday my first time on LTC, now after 10hours mining i have 0,002 of them on a Suggest diff and max diff of 800 with my NVIDEA GeForce GT 630 M.
If i keep mining at the same speed I need 5000 hours for just one coin.. Is it because my video card is not good enough ? And is it possible to mine on the CPU because I have an I7 third generation so I gues this one is a lot faster.. ???

I indeed used a slower miner (cgminer). But if I look here: https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison My video card should get; 26,38 kH/s and I got yesterday 29. Intead of my CPU (Core i7-3720QM) that following the information on that page will get 37. Or is the information on that page probarly wrong ?

I started to mine Quark now I let you now how it's going.. 8) Title: Re: lucrative Post by: meade16 on December 25, 2013, 03:46:43 PM I assume you are using a laptop (630M GPU)
Watch out for the heat. Title: Re: lucrative Post by: stoetel1 on December 25, 2013, 03:58:47 PM I assume you are using a laptop (630M GPU) Watch out for the heat. Yes indeed it's my laptop because it looks me a little bit crazy to buy a new card if i'm just searching how it works.. I just donwloaded speedfan and it seem's like I run to hot.. 80C to 90C seems the story end here to me ::) Title: Re: lucrative Post by: infinitybo on December 25, 2013, 04:08:09 PM @stoetel1 Yes it's because your video card is not good enough and finally yes it's possible to mine using the CPU.
