I just recently downloaded a Litecoin miner 2 days ago and for some reason it is telling me that I am only mining at 6 to 7 kh/s. When I am on minergate, i am mining at 56kh/s. What is the difference in why I am mining so slow on one miner when I am so high on another. Any ideas?
You need to tell us more about your miner. Is this a CPU or GPU miner? What is the model of the GPU? Setting of the miner?
It is a CPU miner. I did not tweak the settings of the CPU, for I do not know how to do that. I was thinking about buying a GPU, but I do not know what to look for and how much I should spend.
Litecoin is an Scrypt algorithm coin; while most of the offerings at Minergate are CryptoNight.
You'll find that you are probably hashing at 56h/s with Cryptonight, not 56kh/s.
As with Scrypt, any available Cryptonight currency's difficulty has skyrocketed making it GPU (Videocard) only territory.
