So I am extremely new to all of this. I have done some research into mining and currently have my gpu mining for bitcoins. The only probably is it is a 680 and well, we all know nvidia cards simply aren't worth it. So I wanted to try messing around with litecoin mining on my 5ghz 3930k. There seems to be very little "newb" help for setting this up. I have the latest version of cpuminer (2.2.3 64-bit for windows). I know I need to create some kind of config file but honestly I have no idea where to start. I found this on the site of the pool I want to join. So I created this with all my info and put it in the same folder as the cpuminer... Create a cfg.json like so: { "_comment1" : "Any long-format command line argument ", "_comment2" : "may be used in this JSON configuration file", "url" : " http://ltc.kattare.com:9332/", "user" : "YOUR_USERNAME.1", "pass" : "x", "quiet" : true } So I did this (with my username and pass of course), but I am still receiving a "HTTP request failed" and "json_rpc_call failed" when trying to run the program. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

getting same thing with two known different working pools
scrypt gui miner works but it only allows up to 8 threads
this one opens and says 12 threads started then gives the error:
json_rpc_call failed

Create a cfg.json like so: [...]
Did you tell cpuminer to use your configuration file? (This is described in the --help output, by the way.) If you don't specify arguments, cpuminer will just use the default connection settings, and will try to connect to localhost:9332 without credentials. If that is not the problem, please post the full output given by minerd.

gtx 680
Nvidia's aren't very good for mining. I don't know what a gtx 680 is supposed to get on litecoin but I wouldn't expect more than about 80 KH/s from it at peak performance. You can adjust the intensity in the .bat file, simply edit it with notepad and change the intensity to a higher number up to 10. Also change the gpu-threads value, try 1, 2 and 4 - see which works best.

Also, try setting the thread-concurrency to 1536 and increase in multiples of 1536 (3072, 4608, etc...) until you find which value works best for you.

still about 10Khash I'm going to go out on a limb here and venture a guess that you are trolling me. Surely a Hero Member has been around long enough to know how to work cgminer and knows that the gtx 680 isn't going to be all that great for mining...

Was it the -w 256 and thread concurrency of 8192 that did it for you?
