I just built my first litecoin miner using these instructions ->
http://www.cryptobadger.com/build-your-own-litecoin-mining-rig/I purchased all the same hardware and went through the Linux setup (I use Linux on a regular so that shouldn't be my problem). When I restart the computer I never see a miner start. I also tried to manually start the miner by running ./miner_launcher.sh
--
miner@miner-desktop:~$ cat miner_launcher.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEFAULT_DELAY=0
if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xnone" ]; then
DELAY=$DEFAULT_DELAY
else
DELAY=$1
fi
sleep $DELAY
su miner -c "screen -dmS cgm /home/miner/mine_litecoins.sh"
--
When it came to the 'mine_litecoins.sh' file I used the same instructed on cryptobadger, After I got no results and manually running 'miner_launcher.sh' with again, no results, I then went to my mining pool website
https://www.litecoinpool.org/minerconfig and copied that configuration into my 'mine_litecoins.sh' file instead of the one from cryptobadger with the only change being I added the `cd /home/miner/cgminer-4.0.0-x86_64-built` line from cryptobadger's site. Any ideas or suggestion on how to solve this problem would be much appreciated, I spent a lot of money on this rig and I don't need another Linux computer and my desktop at the moment.
Also, could someone explain to me what a worker is and how many I need? When configuring my miner to I need to use the username/password from the mining pool account itself or for the worker(s)? Thanks for any and all replies.
