Bitcoin Forum

Was wondering what you guys thought about some of the litecoin pools and what you recommend as the best.

I used to use http://ltc.kattare.com/ but they were getting DDoS'd, or that's what I assume it was when they went down and I couldn't mine, and now I use https://lc.ozcoin.net/ OzCoin pays like PPLNS but a slightly different formula that I don't totally understand but seems to pay pretty well so far.

I would like a LiteCoin pool I can just load up an run on any computer including ones with firewall and stuff.

been using p2pool without much of an issue.
pretty simple

I used ltc.kattare.com too. But they got DDOS, and now I cant connect anymore for some reason. I guess I'll just try another pool. p2pool maybe.

I'm on coinotron, which I can connect to quite easily, but I haven't been able to withdraw my LTC from there today , which worries me a bit..

I use litecoinpool.org and coinotron.com as a backup.

Research p2pool. That is a very good solution also as majority of pools are under constant DDoS attacks.

notroll.in is the best, low free and low limit to withdraw.

I've used coinotron and it's good, but I prefer p2pool.

litecoinpool.org is pretty cool. ddos is just been done on all of them, nothing you can really do IMO.

The failover option of cgminer is nice, add a few pools with your preferred payout scheme in case of downtime.

I have been using give-me-ltc and notroll.in as preferred pools.

ltc.kattare.com ; ltcmine.ru  (has English) ; give-me-ltc.com

p2pool.  Switched two days ago and seeing mining rewards flow in with no disconnects/failovers is fantastic.  Now all I have to worry about is my fiber connection.

I'll throw in another vote for p2pool, it works like a charm. I just set up my own p2pool (http://norpool.mine.bz), feel free to give it a spin if you want to get a feel for how it works (or keep using it for that matter). Keep in mind that you'll have to keep mining for 24-36 hours to get your fair share, so don't get discouraged by low payouts at first.

Confirmation of the initial low-payout worries. If you've never mined on PPLNS pools, it can be a bit nerve-wracking at first (as little to no payments are received).

Been using coinotron, no big issues.  The site itself yesterday wasn't accessible for a little bit but nothing bad since.

I am using notroll.in, good so far!
(It's pay per share.)

notroll.in has a very good DDoS protection, so it stays up most of the time.

personally, I like litecoinpool.org

i'm using coinotron.com

I was using coinotron and pool-x but haven't been able to connect to either for days.

I have been using Coinotron for long time but now server seems overloaded.

All servers are getting DDOS'd right now, it seems.

The group that was DDOSing MtGox to game BTC price seems to have set their sights on Litecoin.

Given the immaturity of Litecoin, DDOSing it will have a greater effect than what they've had with bitcoin.
They might drive the price down further than they intended... I hope they stop soon.

I've been using coinotron but the website is often lagging :(

Best strategy is to use p2pool i guess.

Also, the min "no fee" withdraw at coinotron is 10LTC, which can take some times ...

Are anyone getting their LTC from Coinotron at the moment? I reached the APT 5-6 hours ago, and still nothing.. :-/

I used http://ltc.kattare.com/ to mine a few fairly quickly (about two days per coin), but was concerned about a really high stale rate of about 15% to 20%. So I tried https://notroll.in/ to see how it compared.  After three days, I am still at around 0.6 of a coin, even though my hash rate seems the same.

I can't access https://notroll.in ATM either--I understand there's a DDoS involved but my miner seems to be working fine.

FWIW, once I've finished mining this current coin, I'll be going back to http://ltc.kattare.com/

Also FWIW, any litecoins I mine will be converted to BTC!

YMMV!

i was using Coinotron but i cant see my hashrate going on web-site, i used proxy. dunno whats wrong, i managed to mine FRC no problem, ltc not working maybee its the miner? dunno... proxy logs not saying anything special

I've been using https://lc.ozcoin.net/ for a few months now and they have been pretty stable. They appear to have been hit in the latest round of DDoS attacks but came back up just a few hours later.

WeMineLTC.com seem to have set up shop in the last day or so.  Anyone know if they are legit? Gone from nil to 40MH/s already.

I'm using wemineltc right now.
No idea of legitimacy, so I used a new account/pw with them and am testing right now.

Doesn't appear to be awful.
They have stratum. :3 Makes me happy.

I was on http://ltc.kattare.com/ but started getting connection issues so moved to http://give-me-ltc.com.

i have been using coinotron, but I need to find a alternative because the online hashrate is always wrong. Anyone suggest anything comparable to coinotron?.

coinotron > notroll > ozcoin  for me at the moment.  Going to look at p2pool ...

I've been using wemineltc.com as of today. It's pretty new but seems to be growing pretty quick.

Been mining 50Kh/s on wemineltc all day
Only about .016 rewards so far...

Not sure if this is normal or not?

I think we'll see after the first block is solved. Seems like the pool has been a bit unlucky so far.

i currently use litecoinpool.org . but it recetly  got offline for a few hours .

+1 I've been on Ozcoin for a while also and can vouch on them being a good pool. Definitely recommended.

Just started getting into mining and finally wrapped my brain around all of it to push forward and find some LTC pools. Just started with NoTroll.in and Ozcoin to see what happens in a few days. Any new updates with LTC pools? I have several mining stations up mostly running cpu's as they are pretty old so putting those to the LTC pools but do you think its worth putting the faster Mining stations on BTC at the moment or is BTC a lost cause for a GPU pulling 160-200 MH/s?

wemineltc.com works pretty well for me

"notroll is a thief" google search it. 2nd result.

wemineltc seems ok for me, but I'm not the kind who actually investigate whether they're charging 0% as stated.

lc.litecoin.net
used to be good

coinotron

give-me-ltc and wemineltc works for me.

I'm using ltcmine.ru.
It is simple and stable.

crypdough.com looks promising

coinotron

i'm using ltc.kattare.com, but i'm mining with a cpu (will receive my gpu tomorow), seems pretty good.

myltcpool.com

Same here ...
PPS but with a bearable fee (2.5%) ...
No minimum amount for withdrawal and no withdrawal fee neither. Mined coins are moved each hour on the account from which you can withdraw them.

Also I like the minimalist interface.

As I don't have a full time mining computer and tend to regularly (a few times a day) stop mining to do others things, PPLNS on other pools was killing my income.

http://www.litebonk.com / 0 fees / reliable

litecoinpool  webminer

How about ltcmine.ru?

ltcmine.ru better than litecoinpool?

give-me-ltc and ltcoin.net

i agree

Well, probably quite similar ... except that the last few time I tried to register to litecoinpool, I got refused (their policy is to refuse new users if their share of the global hash power exceed 25% I think).
Now that many people are returning to LTC, I think registering there should not be a problem anymore.

EDIT: ha, not able to register.They still refuse new users :(

I have a number of friends who are using Coinotron, and they seem to be pretty happy with it.

http://coinotron.com no issues there, been mining for about a month.  the site seems to get ddosed some but doesnt seem affect my mining.

Any litecoin pool! There all the same!

Im using p2ppool right now

p2ppool for sure is best

hypernova.pw is looking pretty good right now

litecoinpool.org

use p2pool or ltcmine.ru

Best strategy is to use p2pool i guess.

Been using coinotron.  I should really try to switch around more though.

coinotron, never liked p2pools seems payouts are random.

http://wemineltc.com (http://wemineltc.com) seems to be a very well run pool.  I used to get less way less than 1% stales.

Last time I was on it it was 0% fee's with 1% donation which you can turn off if your scummy ::)

http://www.litebonk.com/

 p2pool is terrible do your self a favor and do some more research and go somewhere else.

P2Pool is good. I run my own P2Pool Server (http://www.litecoinp2pool.com/) if anyone wants to give it a go. With P2Pool no registration is required.
The P2Pool URL is in my Signature.

You are just kidding now right..? :P

www.WeMineLTC.com !!! We just broke the 4 GHses mark ^__^   Come and see why :)

Coinotron.com is pretty nice.

this is a helpful topic. just wants to thank you all.

i am newbie, i started yesterday with http://harvestcoin.com.

but now i am searching for better pools. i am interested in http://wemineltc.com, but it seems they dont have automatic payouts. as i am newbie automatic payouts is a very promising and cheerful stuff for me.

wemineltc, biggest pool, no fees

minimum payout is 5 if u dont want to pay fees

any of them they all same

multipool.in if you don't want to use p2pool or coinotron. No fees at all. Donations are obviously highly encouraged by the pool operator but are not required. Plus the multiport for scrypt mining is pretty interesting...

I would let wemineltc.com (closing on 20% of network hash rate) get time to finish dropping some of their users, they are now too big to safely keep everyone mining there. They hold a large majority of the networks hashrate and are scaling down still or rather claim to be scaling down. Coinotron (About 13%) is on the verge of doing the same I think. If give-me-ltc.com(About 12%) grows past 4.8gh/s then it will fall into that category also, but are the safest in my opinion for the network and reliability based on feedback I have read.

CoinHuntr.com and Hypernova.pw both seem very quality and steady. Just started mining with a new pool last night ltc123.net  which is offering 10LTC rewards for the next 3 blocks. Pretty good reason to throw some hash over there for a while :)

I've been using weminltc.com. So far so good, I think.

http://litepool.eu/

https://www.ltcrabbit.com

Just launched. Nice PPS. Payout every hour. Not so big and therefore not so exposed.

Try it!

I am actually using Give me Coins pool - steady and stable :)

https://give-me-coins.com/pool

I use wemineltc and previously used givemeltc

I was using litepool.eu before, but I switched to my own pool (poolmine.it).

Please take a look at this new pool http://ltc.mining4all.eu

To help the pool grow faster all Mining4all Pools NOW 0% FEE !!!

Greetz

wemineltc is the best, no fee and high DDOS protection :)

Using wemineltc too, they have a lot of servers in-case one of the server down you can still mine on the other one...

wemineltc best pool for ltc, was using litebonk but recently get DDOS too much and switched..

http://BlockEater.com (http://BlockEater.com) is a good litecoin pool

Its smaller than litecoinpool.org and the other heavyweights but it provides regular payouts as its a PPS based pool. Payments are guaranteed.
