Yes do not mine LTC on a cpu, its just not feasible now. They have designed specialised hardware for that purpose.
more then 4x harder in 6 months and the price has been dropping all this year. So costs more, worth less. Not a market to start out on
How come coins need to be mined?
How did you end up on this forum?
Actually its possible for a coin network with no mining. I didnt think so previously but they do operate now. How well they work is subject to argument but so far Ive tried its worked fine. The problem is all new coins are just tokens with very little worth.
Most people only ask these question because they want to get rich, short answer is no easy way to mine high worth coins now sorry
If you are here out of interest then check out energy coin, you just have to leave the laptop open and connected to the internet and thats it. No mining, new coins are distributed to holders who form the network. We'll see one day which is best, some say its all waste but one route should be best and it probably wont be running gpu maxed out 24/7 imo
