Use:

minerd.exe --algo scrypt -r 1000 -s 40 --threads 2 --url http://miningpool.com:9350  --userpass frodo.1:x

...and you'll be mining away :)

While it is now considered too late for hobbyists without expensive ASIC processors to start mining bitcoins, many of the alternative digital currencies are still well suited for mining on your home PC.

In this guide, we'll take you through all you need to know to start digging up a few litecoins, feathercoins or dogecoins without any costly extra equipment.

For the most part, cryptocurrencies employ either SHA-256 or scrypt as their proof-of-work hashing algorithm, but many of the newer currencies have opted for scrypt.
