LiteCoin mining for a noob

[mihapiha]

Hey guys,

I want to get my computer set on LiteCoin mining. I'm abit curious what it can do.

However it seems that I do not know hot to set up the scrypt miner properly.

Since I cannot join the litecoinpool.org pool I went for the other two pools but couldn't get any of them running.

Also Scryptminer uses only 8 threads. Kinda not enough if you have 48 cores...

Could anybody help me set this up properly?

Is the Miner in the LiteCoin wallet weaker?

Just to get going quickly, I downloaded guiminer-scrypt and joined wemineltc.com. My 5770 is running at around 300 kH/s, generating around .5 ltc per day. It was very easy to get it working.

Edited to clarify that I used guiminer-scrypt, since it's different from guiminer.

What card do you have? There's a great thread here:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117221.0

I think I got this running now. I made 6 copies of the Scryptminer - folder...

I wonder if this is normal though. Doesn't look like much. 48 cores @ 2.5 GHz and I get 210 kHash/s?

I'm using this guiminer, it's working fine so far.

What is your core and memory? I have 6770 and I have 225 kh/s 985-1200.

holy poo cow. that is a lot of cores.

Why dont you use GPU to mine?

I'll check when I get home, don't recall the exact numbers. I think the guiminer is reporting 200 kH/s, but my stats on wemineltc.com are a bit higher, although it fluctuates between 200k and 400k, typically around 300k.

It's a folding farm, and I was only testing if the CPU based platform can compete...

GPU clock is 850, memory clock is 1200. according to guiminer-script, it's running at 198kH/s. apparently that is accurate and the number being reported by the pool is not, so your card is 27kH/s faster.

GPU mining should net you more unless you can get 35 hash from all 48 cores...

[mihapiha]

what do you mean?

I have 35 kHash/s per 8 cores. That's the best my computer can do it seems...

With this you don't even need to think about mining. Sry bro.

Hi

I also have a 5770 and do about 200 or so Hashes.. So 300K is very very very good!

Did you overclocked it? What settings are you using?

300K seems to be unbelievable for 5770, google for 'litecoin mining hardware comparison'

My 7970 is running at around 600 kH/s, generating around .10 ltc per day.

I just found out that the amount being reported by the pool is not accurate for lower amounts. The amount being reported by the miner is 200 kH/s, which is consistent with what others are getting. Sorry, didn't know I couldn't take the report from the pool as accurate.

A computer dedicated to folding@home. For this particular purpose it's ideal...
