Title: I Need Litecoin Mining Help
Post by: clonecc45 on March 03, 2015, 06:57:52 AM
So I have Litecoin wallet, MacMiner (For my macbook pro), Crypto Miner on my Nexus 7, and an account for a mining pool (litecoinpool.org).
My Nexus has been mining, but not my mac. I have tried CPU and GPU and they won't work. Here are my MacBooks specs: 4gb ram, 1024mb intel HD GPU, Core i5 2.5Ghz and OS X 10.9.5 (I haven't gotten Yosemite yet). I have been trying to find something easy to mine for a week now. For some reason I picked Litecoin. So here is what I have put into Pool settings (with MacMiner): for Pool URL: stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333. For user I have clonecc45.Macbook (should I drop the clonecc45. part?) which is my worker username. For password it is the same as my worker password. I have it set to "set up a pool for Scrypt (LTC, DOGE, etc)" which is right. Under CPU Miner Options...: Threads: all (I will prob move to 2 or 3) Mine: Scypt Enable debug output = OFF Enable quiet output = OFF and Nothing is under manual flags. I click start and...

[2015-03-03 01:16:02] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333
[2015-03-03 01:16:02] Binding thread 0 to cpu 0
[2015-03-03 01:16:02] Binding thread 1 to cpu 1
[2015-03-03 01:16:02] Binding thread 2 to cpu 2
[2015-03-03 01:16:02] 4 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[2015-03-03 01:16:02] Binding thread 3 to cpu 3
[2015-03-03 01:16:05] Stratum authentication failed
[2015-03-03 01:16:05] ...retry after 30 seconds

Nope... As for GPU Miner Options: Intensity: 4 Work size: auto Vectors: auto Enable quiet output: no Dynamic intensity: no Override default: Yes (for work size) No (for vectors) Enable debug output: no Mine: Scrypt  Shaders: auto Lookup gap: auto Tread concurrency: auto Manual flags: nothing. I click start and:

So can someone help?

Hi - I think your question was already answered -- but there's no use in mining LTC with a CPU or GPU.  In addition you will overheat and kill your device or laptop.

If you want to get into the ASIC game - check out Ebay for a Zeusminer or A2 Terminator.
