Mining litecoins problems

[martinlivet]

Hi Everyone!

Im new to all this so forgive me if this is just some stupid mistake i´ve made.
Started a profile at http://pool-x.eu
When first used scryptMiner (downloaded from the pool X site) to connect i got: "Couldn't connect. Try checking your username and password."
And today its even worse,. when i press "start mining" it just goes straigt to "Miner stopped"..


I´ve of course checked and nothing seems wrong. Tried different ports and tried to search all over the net for answers with no luck..

I use Litecoin wallet to get the adress and the blockchain. Also tried to mine with the wallet but there i get "Miner failed to start. Make sure you have the minerd executable and libraries in the same directory as Litecoin-Qt."  Wich i have as far as i understand.

Should say i use Windows 7 -64 bit.

Any help much appreciated

As far as i can see i followed these instructions exactly. But i´ve seen in other guides that you should configure the litecoin.conf file,. dosent that apply when using this method?

Did the same thing, eventually gave up and used a commandline miner

[martinlivet]

Ok,. not there yet. But could happened,. Just hoping for any input from someone that use pool X and scrypt miner or similar...

Thanx

Hey weirdthall,.. buy the way, did you have the exact same error when scryptMiner say "check username and password" or/and the problem i have now with the miner not even tries to connect and goes straight to "miner stopped",. and did you do anithing to the Litecoin.conf file?

Where is everyone using pool X and/or scrypt miner? There is no clue to get help on the website,. and i tried to contact "g2x3k" (the creator) here in this forum with no luck...

[martinlivet]

Also tried different miners for android and i get similar problems. "Authentication error",. where can i get some help with connecting to Pool-X? As far as i can see from different forums and the pool-x website nothing is wrong with the pool atm,. but i cant get hold of any users or even some FAQ page,..??

Might want to try another pool?  I've never had a problem getting workers up and running on notroll.in and coinotron.com.

http://notroll.in is my fave right now.

Thanx!  just tried it,. (in Litecoin wallet miner and in an Android miner) and same problem again,." Couldn't connect. Please check your username and password." And the android one say "connection problems"

I have no idea...

Not sure what miners you're playing with but cgminer is the gold standard it seems - that's at least what you'll arguably find the most documentation on.
