Am I just being paranoid and don't know enough about this yet to understand that my set up is in fact working smooth or is there a connection issue somewhere that I'm not aware of? When I was pool mining with the bitminter client I would regularly get accepted work even after 10 minutes.
Is bitminter for mining bitcoin only? Or do they do litecoin as well?
If you're not aware, my pool is scrypt only, and you need to configure BFGMiner to mine scrypt, not SHA256.
No wonder!! Thank you! I wasn't aware at all that I needed to configure BFGMiner to mine scrypt.
EDIT: So, to get it running in scrypt mode I just have to put --scrypt in the .bat file I use to open the program. It opens up in CMD and doesn't have the nice interface but it seems to work!
