Banging my head against a brick wall

[g7g7g7g7]

I used to mine bitcoins a while back, but recently decided to start again with litecoin.

Guiminer and litecoin-qt.exe for some reason will not read the litecoin.conf file.

Keeps telling me over and over that it needs to be read-only and i can't think what basic simple thing I'm missing...

Any ideas?

Are you sure it is not litecoin.conf.txt?

[vm1990]

also guiminer does not do litecoin you need guiminer scrypt version https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=3878.0

[g7g7g7g7]

I'm using the newest scrypt version already, so that can't be it.

I will check that file properties again...

[g7g7g7g7]

No the file properties says its a .conf file so that part worked, its set as read only.

Do I have to move the litecoin client to the data folder %appdata% roaming\litecoin

[vm1990]

are you trying to solo mine? or joining a pool?

[g7g7g7g7]

Trying to solo mine, it will not let me run litecoin with as a server.

skip to step 3 you missed it XD

[g7g7g7g7]

I wish it was as simple as missing step 3 

[vm1990]

ok the movies on pause... so in your litecoin directory
C:\Users\Windows 7\AppData\Roaming\Litecoin there should be a file called litecoin.conf
is it there?

[g7g7g7g7]

yup its there, although I am seriously considering just jumping on a pool at this point...

[vm1990]

id recomend a pool but im happy to help if you want to solo mine theres not many problems it can be

set the rpcuser name to what ever you want same with password (leave rpcuser= part in and same part for password type after the = )


rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password

[g7g7g7g7]

Okay I've double checked that, both already filled in....

[vm1990]

ah that might be why XD right copy the roaming litecoin.config file into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Litecoin

(sorry the guides wrong and its been ages since i solo mined XD)

[vm1990]

then launch litecoin wallet
wait for it to be upto date

go to guiminer scrypt alfa
create new miner

host:localhost
Port:9332
username:same as in litecoin.conf
Password:same as in litecoin.conf
select device settings and what ever

click start and it should be a go

[g7g7g7g7]
