Your instructions there kind of confused me. So view do I proceed with adding my mining device onto litecoin pool? I tried your instructions and it doesnt add it.
On litecoinpool.org, under my account, you have a spreadsheet of "Workers". You need to add a worker to have it register onto your account. But each worker needs a username and a password.
For example, if your username on Litecoinpool was the same as it is here, LiteLTC, then the start of the username for your "worker" would be "LiteLTC.X". With the X being whatever you decide to name the mining device you're using. And then you must create a password for the device.
You need this information (Username and password) in order to put it into the "pool" section in the Apollo settings.
So next, log into the Apollo dashboard and click on "Pool".
Under URL, you need need the address of the server the pool operates on:
stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 (Europe)
stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 (US East Coast)
stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3333 (US West Coast)
stratum+tcp://ltcpool5brio2gaj.onion:3333 (Tor hidden service)
Under Username, you put the username you created on litecoinpool.
Then you do the same for the password.
Then click the +, Up Arrow, or save… whatever the button is to save the information for the pool. - After that, you should be able to refresh litecoinpool and see the work thats being done by the "worker".
Let me/someone else know if that helps/doesn't help.
Also, in regards to your question about which server you should use, east or west, I don't think it really matters… I just realized I've been pointed to the Europe server and everything is more or less fine. And I'm also in Texas.
Still having issues. Anyway we can talk via some sort of messenger app and you walk me through this. Where in Texas are you from? I'm in the dfw area.
