Hello! Today I put in some time to develop a tool to make it much easier for users to solo-mine litecoins. I call it AutoSolo. It is a simple jar file that you download, put in it's own folder, and double-click. From there, the program downloads cgminer and litecoin, starts the litecoin-qt client in server mode after creating litecoin.conf in your AppData/Roaming/Litecoin directory (creating the litecoin folder if it isn't already there), guides you through the creation of a cgminer startup script, and at the end leaves you with two folders and two bat files in that same folder you started off--a .bat file to start cgminer using your config for solomining, and a .bat file for launching the litecoin client in server mode. All in less than 5 minutes and less than 10 clicks.

Let me know if you have any issues with getting it running or would like to see any features in it.

Since it will be so difficult...won't it discourage majority of people from mining, which will thus decrease the amount of new Bitcoins being mined compared to now?
