I never mined before, let alone participated in a pool. Can anyone explain how to configure my miner to connect to a Litecoin pool? (I think there's one pool already) This pool is of course at risk of being DDOSes, so I ask also for instructions on how to setup the miner to solo if the pool is DDOSed/compromised.

to mine, whether the pool or solo, first things you need are a client and miner. 1. Grab the source: https://github.com/coblee/litecoinWindows client binary: https://github.com/downloads/coblee/litecoin/litecoin-windows-client-40104.zip2. You can mine the coin by using the default miner in the client. Just put "gen=1" in your litecoin.conf file. Or you can use a CPU miner. Currently, you must use one of these miners that uses Scrypt: https://github.com/Lolcust/Tenebrix-miner https://github.com/ArtForz/cpuminer - Fastest but experimental Here's a compiled binary for Windows: https://github.com/downloads/coblee/litecoin/litecoin-windows-miner-10-10-2011.zip3. litecoin.conf You need to create a litecoin.conf file with this content testnet=0 server=1 rpcuser=miner rpcpassword=litecoin
block_nTime=1317972665 block_nNonce=2084524493
#gen=0
#Change this if you want to use a different rpc port for mining #rpcport=9332
#Only uncomment this if you are running litecoind (not Litecoin QT) #daemon=1 and save it to Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Litecoin Win7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Litecoin Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Litecoin Unix: ~/.litecoin 4. Mining Solo in your windows binary miner, edit the 2threads.bat file to adjust to the number of threads you want to mine with (Don't put more threads than you have core, think of it as dividing by zero, you house will vanish in a black hole) then run it. 5. pool mining. Once you have your client, head on over to the http://184.107.145.244/ pool. signup with your LTC address edit your mining batch file (2threads.bat from earlier) with the username and info given to you by the pool. mine ... profit (slowly) EDIT edited for typos and general morningness

We seem to have a good choice of mining pools for Litecoin now . A testimony of its popularity?

I'm having trouble getting it to run on a Mac (hey, it's got cores). No problem on my PC. I Downloaded the Mac Deamon DL from GetHub. Made the Litecoin.conf file as stated above, put it in the right path in the Libraries folder, run minerd and in terminal I get: Warning: To use litecoind, you must set rpcpassword=<password> in the configuration file: /Users/EveryThink/Library/Application Support/Litecoin/litecoin.conf Also, running the app Litecoin-Qt crashes with this error: Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/db48/libdb_cxx-4.8.dylib Referenced from: /Users/EveryThink/Downloads/litecoin-mac-client-daemon-50000 2/Litecoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Litecoin-Qt Reason: image not found Any thoughts?

What does that actually do?

What does that actually do? Guess it makes sure you are on real and longest blockchain and not on fork or testnet

What does that actually do? I'm not sure you actually need that anymore, but the release of LiteCoin was scheduled so that everyone could verify the creators were trustworthy and that the chain was not premined by us. So Coblee held a poll and released those parameters at a predetermined time so everyone could download the client, verify its functionality, and begin use as soon as it was release. Those two parameters are part of what started up the client on the real chain and not Testnet. I think they're in the new releases of the client now without further action by you.

WOW great list mate ! Really good effort right here. Well done. I think you should make a thread with all the LTC pools so newbies can find them easily etc. !

Thank you, but I think a page about this should be created on the Litecoin Wiki instead. There was list of pools in the old wiki, but apparently it disappeared when the wiki was migrated to GitHub. EDIT: Done! I also added some additional info: https://github.com/coblee/litecoin/wiki/Comparison-of-mining-pools

who or what is saying it is a trojan? - false positives are common in av software with mining programs this is due to mining programs being added to trojan droppers for botnets
