Hello,

I'd like to mine Litecoin on windows. I heard Litecoin had mining section on their old wallets but that section is removed from new versions.
Is it possible to mine litecoin using an old version of Litecoin-qt? Or do you know any softwares we can use to mine litecoin on windows?
I have another question that what coins are mineable on windows?

Thanks.
It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Not many  coins are CPU minable minus HODL, Monero etc. Litecoin requires a scrypt ASIC miner. Use calculators and do some math on power usage, hashrate, etc.

Litecoin with a CPU (which is the only way of mining with the wallet) would take ages to find a block, tens of thousands of years to even have a hope on average!
