Hey, I've picked and chosen at bits and pieces of information I've found on mining and now I'm not sure if I am.. (I'm not worried about producing poor results, just happy to mine at all) I've seen I need the OpenCL box ticked in this program (displaying my stats) but it's not - also could I install an addon to fix this? & The miner seem to pick up and accept shares etc. but is it actually doing anything? Help! Any help is much appreciated! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs22.postimg.org%2F6nfa5fzxd%2Fhelp.jpg&t=665&c=uq_jsYRSquh1Hw)

I have never used that miner before, but yes. If that is a screen shot of your mining efforts. It looks like you have 444 kh will 2 accepted shares

it looks like you are mining on a pool you should be getting coins if so. I had to have open cl to mine.

Yeah, I decided to mine LTC as they seem to be a lot "easier" to mine.
I get shared accepted etc. like my pictures shows but haven't (that I know of received any payment from the pool yet) - I'm not sure how often I should receive payment though / if there is a minimum I must earn first, before I can deposit and my comp will take years to reach it? lol

check your account or payments if you are posting k/h and accepted shares you had better be getting paid if not someone is stealing from you. I use litecoinpool but it is closed to new users burnside and coinatron are good

Hmm, I've connected to slush's pool and appear to have mined some there so I guess it does work some how?!
- I couldn't get my miner to connect to the two you mentioned but I'm happy enough if I am producing any results lol
Anyone else used mine-litecoin?

Might seem a bit daft but you do have accounts setup and working on the pools that you are connecting to?
pool-x.eu is good but it has a 2.5 ltc limit.

This account was hacked & possibly sold during the period of August 1st and October 24th 2017. Anything done or said in this period wasnt me. Many thanks to Cyrus for his help restoring access to my account.

444 khash/s ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I don't consider that as mining .... it's just electricity waste. Even 444 Mhash would be nothing, penny business. You need several Ghash to get some reasonable income. I mine more in day then you'll in years.

I know my speeds are embarrassingly low on this laptop but when I am mining as much as I was when I was earning from clicking ads/from faucets I see it as semi reasonable lol - Still have a better PC to test out my speeds on though!

444 khash CPU mining is really worthless. And even if you have free electricity, you will f**k your laptop battery and maybe other hardware for pennies. GPU and ASIC mining is only reasonable, with current mining difficulty, CPU mining is really worthless.
I have 500$ i7 CPU and it does like 800 khash, really not worth it.

If you arent using it for gaming use it to mine just keep it cool. I have 10 times as much hash as you and get close to 10 coins a day you should get close to 1. It could go to 20 a coin 20 times 365. It is worth it stick with it

I have a machine with 2 6870's they get 450 or so not much but they have been reliable and found several blocks over time. i kinda like my cheap machine it never crashes and just keeps working n matter if the get hot or anything. They have paid for themselves so i just keep them going.

you'd be better off setting up in 'lottery mode' start solo mining, you'll never get anything but...there's the off chance to hit a block that is impossible to do with pooled mining. at that level, it's just for fun anyway.

I would recommend using CGminer instead of GUIminer. Many more tweaking options available and a potentially higher hashrate. 444 khash/s ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I don't consider that as mining .... it's just electricity waste. Even 444 Mhash would be nothing, penny business. You need several Ghash to get some reasonable income. I mine more in day then you'll in years. I think they're looking for advice, not an internet tough guy to crap on them. "my hash is bigger than yours" Do you drive a lifted diesel truck with stack-pipes too?
