I have a question using the https://www.litecoinpool.org/minerconfigIt doesn't seem to have my exact card, which is an AMD Radeon HD 6410 D. Does it need to be the exact card? Also, how do we know what intensity we want to chose? I am getting a frequency of 975 and a rate of about twice of what is showing up in my litecoinpool panel. That page is old and not maintained anymore. (And as far as I know it is not linked from anywhere on the pool's website.) To answer your question, setting up a GPU for Litecoin mining involved a lot of trial and error. It was almost more of an art than a science. As stated on the Help page, the pool has officially stopped offering assistance to GPU miners, as it would only be a waste of time and energy for everybody involved. How long does "stratum from pool 0 requested work restart" usually last? I know what it means, but should we even have our asic machines running when this is going on, just as far as wear and electricity? Is it all of litecoinpool.org that is getting it, or should I configure my machine differently?
Getting that message 2-3 times per minute is perfectly normal. It does not depend on your setup, and despite what some people think it does not imply anything negative. It just means that the pool sent you new work. I'm running at 414 Kh/s consistently and only getting credited for 152 Kh/s. I get all 0's at the end of my statement in the CMD box as it's processing, which I heard is a sign that I'm right on my side.
I'm using
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3333 -u brainstormer.1 -p 1 --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=975,chips=5 --hotplug 5
with a Gridseed Orb. Please someone give some support on this because something isn't right.
Sounds like hardware errors. If possible, send us a screenshot of cgminer. As for the cause, with Gridseeds the power source is very often the culprit, so you may want to check that first. |

very new ... and I'm sure its been asked and answered but the amount of data is overwhelming and I have been looking but cant figure it out. I'm running bfgminer on A8-8650b + XFX HD 5450 (I know its not a very good setup but I'm just trying to understand things before I start getting better cards) ... anywho ... i connect to the pool using bfgminer -S opencl:auto -L bfglog -g 1 --url=stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 --userpass=<myusername>.1:1
[...] the thing is, all my shares are invalid (14 invalid - 100%) ?! any pointers to why? You're probably using the wrong hashing algorithm. The correct one for Litecoin is called "scrypt". If I remember correctly bfgminer has a --scrypt flag for this. Anyway, let me point out for the umpteenth time that GPU mining is completely pointless nowadays. If you haven't already, I suggest you read this. GPU mining is simply too slow and inefficient to be anywhere near profitable. In addition, it can be very hard to set up correctly, much more so than an ASIC, and this makes its usefulness as a tool for beginners to "get started" questionable to say the least. |

Thanks ,but where can I find this button? I don't see it anywhere on the account page.
Does the button not show-up because it's < 24 hours since I started?
Correct. The manual payout button will appear when you'll be able to request a manual payout. |
|
|
|
Probably a dumb question, but I cannot seem to locate any manual payout button or link.
Is that option still available?
Yes, but if you have just set or changed your payout address, you will have to wait 24 hours before you will be able to receive a payout. This is a new security measure we've just put in place to protect our users from unauthorized account access. |

somebody has benchmarks using VIA Padlock engine with CPU miner?
I have a C3 computer in storage, if its worth it I can bring it back to life...
I don't have precise benchmarks at hand right now, but it's definitely not worth it. The performance per MHz is still way lower than that of modern Intel CPUs. yeah, but the power it uses is very small....... Unfortunately not small enough. It's still far less power-efficient than a GPU. |

Is it possible to work with this pool using x11 algorithm?
No. Litecoin means the algorithm is scrypt. |

Hello! I'm trying to build 64 bit binary on AIX 7.1, but configure fails with an error. Any suggestions? config.log: configure:3456: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3478: gcc -O3 conftest.c >&5
Assembler:
/tmp//cci5yi3I.s: line 12: Only .llong should be used for relocatable expressions.
configure:3482: $? = 1
configure:3520: result: no
This seems relevant: http://www.hpc.cineca.it/content/i-cannot-use-gcc-compiler-even-very-simple-programsDon't think so, I'm using OBJECT_MODE=64. So you've tried adding -maix64 to CFLAGS? It seems there is an incorrect gcc option in config script: configure:3425: gcc -V >&5
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V'
I believe that is normal. |

appreciate your work. Is there a way for a noob to compile scrypt-jane support into your latest optimized cpuminer? Thanks.
Sorry, I don't think so. |

I see that my processor doesn't put out much compared to what is needed anymore to make a decent profit. Am I allowed to use outside hardware to contribute? Does any hardware work with the easyminer?
CPU and GPU mining are now of course no longer profitable, and ASICs are the only viable option. This is illustrated in our Beginner's Guide. Regarding your last question, different hardware may require different software. |

Reward 103% PPS what happened?
The main reason is that Syscoin recently switched its hashing algorithm from scrypt to SHA-256d. |

memleak still is present - 2MB per getblocktemplate request.
I must have missed this one because it only happens when long polling is enabled. Anyway, I've just pushed a fix to the git repo. Thank you again! |

@pooler I contacted u a few days ago by email about scrypt_core() for aarch64, I don't know how to code a .S file but I came up with a temporary solution: A fallback written in C++ for unsupported architectures. simply place the fallback before the others in build order and it would compile, and be replace by optimized version if the architecture is supported  As I've told you in my email, I still haven't been able to test cpuminer on aarch64, but time allowing I plan to look into this soon. If you're OK with an unoptimized build, I think as a temporary solution configuring with --disable-assembly should be enough. |

Aren't there memory leaks in cpuminer 2.4.3 win64 version? Its virtual memory increases roughly 4GB per day while mining 1MB blocks. When remote node restarts these GB disappear and miner then tries to resolve host with four random characters even it was configured to connect at 127.0.0.1.
You are right, I just checked and there is indeed a memory leak in the GBT code. I'll push a quick fix to GitHub shortly. Hopefully I'll also be able to publish new binaries soon. |

newbie question
why online calculators say 37 ltc with 2mhs, and on your website , current top hashers says , with 2mhs 19 ltc a day?
why such a huge difference?
You must mean 2 GH/s, not MH/s. 2MH/s would yield about 0.019 LTC/day right now. You didn't say which other calculators you used, but the difference is almost certainly due to the fact that some calculators still haven't updated to the current Litecoin block reward of 25 LTC, and are still using the old value of 50 LTC, which doesn't apply anymore. By the way, the halving took place over 5 months ago, so you should really tell them to update. |

But can you give me advice about some miners?I see that numbers are really low and i wont make any profit(maybe 3 cents in a year).So im looking for something like ant miner or some type of usb miner.Maybe something in size of itx pc but not so loud.I give it a try for 100 bucks so...
First of all, if you haven't already, please make sure you read this section of our guide carefully. Since dedicated mining hardware is generally a rather risky investment, this pool has a policy of not recommending any particular brand or model. We wholeheartedly recommend that potential buyers do their own careful research. The following thread can be a good starting point: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=6506.0 |
