I'd stay away from Panama(used to be great), New Zealand and any European countries. To many laws like the USA, plus the US government has slowly been working their way into some of these countries with shared information and laws.

Ok, I feel like I am totally missing something here. Please help. I seem to be having the opposite problem of others I've read, they want to decrease GPU usage, I'm trying to increase.

I'm mining in a pool notroll.in
Screen shot below for help. I've tested the gpu, I've overclocked it. But with the computer just at idle, this is what I get. Its an extra computer being put to work for mining now.
The GPU just isn't being used. How do I get that to happen?
Or what am I missing to make this happen?

2004- Dell dimension e520 motherboard and processor
Windows xp home
1.86 gb
400 watt power supply
Radeon HD 6450
.... And I'm not expecting the greatest performance for mining with what I have. But it seems I should be getting something better than this?

Thank you for any advice, help. I'd like to offer some coin, but I'm not making any ha

bitmanxd:
If I may ask. What graphics card are you using to get 900khash/s.

Also I haven't figure out how to mine litecoin on cgminer. I'm not finding a good tutorial or information on setting that up on cgminer.

clicksmoney:
1. I have installed the AMD OpenCL SDK. All drivers are installed according to the catalyst install control panel. I have gone to AMD website as well, which says the opencl sdk is only for windows 7 or better. I'm thinking there may be something I'm just not catching here, or havent done.
2. 300 rating on the power supply.
3. Not sure what you mean by checking it. But its all good for working with graphics. I know thats not what you mean but I'm not sure.
4. Yes I know its a super basic card. I've had it for a little while. Just not sure if the miner is using it or not now though?
5. Yes. I've been on notroll.in for a few months, but I only get 3-7 khash/sec with that dell computer. My main computer running a geforce9200 gets 9-16 khash/sec and that is during all my other work running trading platforms and documents.

So then by assessment of what you are saying. This computer I could add a larger GPU and it will work?

I fully understand about the difficulties and electricity. I'm looking more at the future of how things are shaping up with BTC looking like it may be the main cryptocurrency type with all the others trading around it. Such as with fiat currency now. The USD is the main currency of the world which most others are based on traded off of. Anyhow, thats how I'm looking at things with building a simple miner. Where I might want to mine a different coin another week.

Hi, First up. Appreciate anyone that can help on this. I've got a couple of questions that do not seem to be answered in all the articles and videos I've watched. I am not a well knowledgeable computer person, as all of you.

I've been cpu mining for quite a few months now, just the basic scyptminer in the pool notroll.in . Nothing fancy while working. With the recent rise as well as interest in cyptocurrency in general. I'm deciding to take it up a notch, maybe bigger. And yes I under the difficulty rate, and energy consumption required.

On my basic older dell computer the scryptminer varies from 3-7 khash/sec -4 thread(s)
I've been getting a few litecoins a month.

Dell Dimension E520.
Intel core 2 dual which has the built in graphics to it.
Running windows xp media edition.
1.87 GB
I do have a Radeon 6450 on this as well.

Now here are my questions. Which I can not seem to find answers too.
Everyone out there seems to say you do not need any sort of fancy hardware aside from a strong Graphics Card. And psu and cooling fan of course.
if this is the case, then I should be able to make this older computer a miner easily, correct? Just install a higher grade graphics card? Like a Radeon 5850 or 6950.

When I run GUIMiner, under the devices dropdown menu, it says:" No opencl " which apparently means it can not use the Radeon 6450 to mine? Is this correct?

Being that the motherboard with an intel chip has an internal graphics processor, does this mean that I have been mining this whole time at 3-7 khash/sec, not using the Radeon 6450 which is installed? Which means I could be making more? Or does this Radeon 6450 really only get that little bit?

If that is the case, how do I change that? Or does a dedicated mining rig, mean requiring a motherboard with no internal graphics?

Hopefully my questions make complete sense.

Thanks

Since I'm a newbie to this forum I have to post this help question somewhere.
First off, yes I'm new to all bitcoin and litecoin and all of these E-Value systems. I have been mining in pools for litecoins and that process is instant. Recently decided to try out the solo mining and decided to follow this post which I can not reply too being new here:
[TUTORIAL] Solo Mining Litecoins Guide--Windows!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83371.0 

I have followed this Turtorial exactly by every sentence. Now, it seems to be working, based on that I see something happening in the "output" section of the ScriptMiner GUI. But it seems as though something is wrong as I do not see any transactions. Now I feel like maybe I am missing some general knowledge perhaps of how this whole thing works.

1) Should I see a small amount of ltc instantly?
2) Do I have to wait until this miner finds what is apparently called a "block" to mine? And then something happens?
3) What am I missing here?
4) Does the RPC Server need to be something difference?
Keep in mind I do not know all the tech lingo.

Here are screenshots of the 2 programs which the turtorial says to download and make it work. Both of these programs have been running for about 4 hours and nothing is happening differently.
The first is the Litecoin Wallet: Under server I can put 1 or localhost and the same difference.
You can see on the bottom right, it says Mining Litecoins at 2353 hashes per second. Yet there has not been any transactions over 4 hours.



Here is the 2nd screenshot of the ScriptMiner GUI
This has been running along when the RPC server is "localhost" and it shows in the output tab a bunch of stuff. It started at around 3000 hashes and now about a few hours it has dropped to around 200 or so hashes.  If I input 1 for RPC server, nothing happens.
