If you guys are still stuck, you should check this guide out. It was the most useful for me because it not only gives clear directions but has pics.. http://cryptocur.com/litecoin/litecoin-ltc-gpu-mining/
And for a pool, I would recommend minelitecoin.com - 1% fee, detailed graphs of individual and pool performance, user friendly control panel, small amount of members so higher payout, and rapidly growing. Best of luck with LTC mining, and I hope that you all profit from it. Cheers.

LiteCoin mining at minelitecoin.com is giving me accurate kh/s readings compared to what my kh/s readings are on cgminer.\

With the 7870, I am pulling in roughly 280-330 kh/s but I have seen some members get their 7870s to over 400kh/s. (I have not tinkered with overclocking)

If anyone could help adjust my settings in order to get higher kh/s, please help a friend out!

I doubt bitcoin will drop below $50 anytime soon, if anything it will continue to slowly stabilize at around $120-$160.

In all honesty, nothing has true backing. Similar to the example with gold.. Nothing has any more value than the value people give it. I could get a bottle of fresh water for under a dollar in the US, but if I would go somewhere where it is not as easily accessible, it would be highly valued and priced.

Couldn't agree more with the system. Although I hate the wait, I see where you guys are coming from and I have seen way to many forums screwed over by new members who trolled and were turds..

I was thinking of the same thing. Bitcoin would have much greater purpose and more respect as a virtual currency, rather than being the main currency on a website that sells illegal things (silkroad)

Yeah, the website was a little tricky to get things set up. I had similar problems, and did not have access to the chat box for some time. This seemed odd, given that since it was my first day on the website, I had dozens of questions that I wanted answered. Be sure to log in using the email used to register, rather than your username.
