Edit: My log thing is only saying longpoll found new block, is that good or bad? Without knowing what kinda of cpu you have or what program you are using - thats normal. I only get about 5.5khashes per thread Post some more details though, maybe someone with the same cpu would chime in Title: Re: LiteCoin mining is slow!!! Post by: matthewh3 on February 26, 2012, 10:51:34 PM Different rates I think between BTC and LTC and do you use Windoze if so it's probably hogging all your resources. I use Lubuntu which is very light on resources and get over 4KH/s per core even when using my PC to browse and listen to internet radio, then get up to and over 6KH/s per core when I shut everything down using a Pentium D. Also are you using the dedicated 'cpuminer' or just the default one that comes with the wallet as 'cpuminer' get's better results.

You can install and remove *buntu using Wubi - http://wubi.sourceforge.net/ (http://wubi.sourceforge.net/) like any other Windows program so you don't have to partition your hard-drive. Just choose Lubuntu before you install as it's the lightest. All versions of Ubuntu are a lot lighter on resources and Xubuntu is my favourite. If you really want to push it login into Openbox desktop and make sure you have no programs running in the background. Your also a lot less likely to loose your coins due to malware and viruses using any *nix OS. Title: Re: LiteCoin mining is slow!!!
