The "SMOS LTCRabbit Edition" USB stick mining operating systemWhy should i use "SMOS-LTCRabbit-Edition" USB stick mining operating system?
LTC mining requires perfect configuration of your graphic card driver, operating system and the miner software cgminer. It is very hard to configure all this and get the maximum hashrate from your graphic cards.
Therefore, SMOS-Linux.org developed in cooperation with LTCRabbit a mining operating system, which is easy to use and requiring only a minimum of configuration. Just download the operating system, write it to a USB stick, boot your PC from the USB stick, enter you worker username and password (cgminer.conf) and start mining LTC.

If you run annother graphic card, please find the
http://litecoin.info/Mining_Hardware_Comparison correct settings for you specific card here. You definitely have to find the correct values for:
intensity (-I) Please lower intensity if you experience problems.
thread-concurrency
gpu-thread (-g)
worksize (-w)
If you experience problems, first thing is to disable GPU overclocking by deleting following lines in cgminer.conf:
"gpu-engine" : "1000",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250"
Watch your mining rig status remotely You can watch your rig mining status through annother PC located in your local network. Open the following URL in your browser:
http://YourRigIP:8080Please replace YourRigIP with the IP address of your mining rig. You can find it in the upper left corner of the desktop (see screenshot above)
You can connect to your rig by SSH (Port 222, Username root, Password rabbit):
Linux: open terminal and enter "ssh root@YourRigIP -p 222"
