how come when i copy over the new files i just keep getting longpoll detected a new block, but nothing else?
EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it!
How? I got the same error. My bad, thought I had, but didn't realize that I had just copied some of the older files over it. I still have the problem with the new version.

Any chance someone can modify this to work with Bitcoins and/or be compatible with GUIMiner?

What am I doing wrong? I'm only getting a total of 7.4X KH/s out of my Phenom II x6 @ 3.5GHz. All I did was unpack teh binaries to my Litecoin directory where the original minerd was. What else am I missing? Thanks!

Why would you want that? minerd, was originally meant for bitcoin, back when GPUs weren't around. Now that they are, not only is a CPU miner obsolete, it will only suck electricity, and you will literally not gain any bitcoins off of it. And if you really want a CPU miner, get CGminer, it has that in(since it is originally, minerd).

None. What params do you recommend? And you explain how to use them? I am simply mining from the native LTC client gui.

Unless I'm horribly mistaken, the Litecoin client can only mine using its own internal hashing function, which is relatively slow. If you want to use cpuminer, you should start it from the command line, and tell it how to connect to a Litecoin server (local or pool) via command-line parameters. Use the following for solo mining (where rpcuser:rpcpass must match the credentials in your litecoin.conf file): minerd.exe --url http://127.0.0.1:9332/ --userpass rpcuser:rpcpass
Since difficulty is going up, however, you may want to join a pool. Most of the pools have a "Help" or "Getting started" page that you will probably find useful. https://github.com/coblee/litecoin/wiki/Comparison-of-mining-pools

The default client now has a wrapper which can start an external miner provided it's called "minerd", is executable, and is located in the same directory as the client.

Is there an option to pass parameters from the Litecoin client? You know, kind of like how you can supply optional parameters in GUIMiner?

Well I could use the extra heat in the winter. But seriously, while the GPUs mining, my CPU is unstressed and feels rather obsolete. I'll look into CGminer but by the looks of the first post it doesn't appear to be as user friendly as GUIMiner.

I finally figured out how to use this........yes I'm a bit slow and new to using github stuff.... and it's doubled my hashing rate. I tried putting it on my btc mining rig but it makes my gpu's drop DRASTICALLY, any way to fix that?

I still recommend 1 CPU core per GPU. I only use minerd for spare cores. I hear that the latest drivers have "fixed" this, but I haven't had time to deal with it. I still prioritize bitcoin (and now BTC/I0C/IxC/NMC/DVC) mining before CPU chains.

Is there an option to pass parameters from the Litecoin client? You know, kind of like how you can supply optional parameters in GUIMiner? You sound like you may be more advanced than I, but I have been using a START_MINING.bat file in the same directory to run the minderd. I don't know if that helps with the questions you have. I will post it if you would like that file and can show me how to put an attachment on here. I don't know if that's possible... Or just PM me your e-mail, and I can e-mail it to you.

I'll look into CGminer but by the looks of the first post it doesn't appear to be as user friendly as GUIMiner. I haven't done the math, but I'm thinking you'll make more money mining the cpu chain, LTC for example. And then selling them for bitcoins, rather than running your CPU to mine bitcoins directly.

Set low priority. In linux start the litecoin miner with "nice": screen nice ./your_lite_coin_script (Screen is optional; it lets you attach and detach console sessions) IN windows open task manager and set process priority to lowest.
