How to start litecoin mining!

turn "Stratum" off.

 would like to try that, but the program won't start correctly. When I doubleclick the exe it launches on my taskbar, but when I click that it disappears.

You can google the power rates, 

 

Here's a calculator that takes in the difficulty, your hast rate and the cost of LTC at the given time: https://www.litecoinpool.org/calc

 

Here's a chart of hardware comparison for the estimated hash rates of most given cards: https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

 

EDIT! 

You're also going to want to use the program Cuda-Miner for best results when mining with an Nvidia card.

The wallet might take some time..

 

And its not a virus, all antivirus programs will think that any miner is a virus.

It is synchronizing very slowly. Is there a way to download pre-synchronized client? It's at 105 weeks now.

I have just one more question. What does affect the speed of synchronization? Is it the CPU, internet...?

Hodor stop being so impatient, I did it and it only took less than an hour.

 

So there was another guide like this which used GUIminer, but for me, (I have a 660TI), it couldn't recognize and I had to download CUDA stuff.

After downloading the almost 1GB CUDA stuff I had to download Visual studios and after installing the correct one CUDA still couldn't recognize the right one, so I gave up on that.

Turned to CUDAminer and everything is working fine now, Im also in Netcodepool and I don't know how to stop mining LOL. Can someone tell me how?

 

Guiminer should include cudaminer, if you add another worker/card there should be a drop down menu to select between a few miners.

 

I don't get that, I downloaded GUIminer and the device just said 660TI, there were no threads etc.

midpost edit: So I added another worker and added a CUDA miner. IS the only thing you have to add is the username, password and host and then you can start?

Selling my parts of my 900D rig for a jacked up Ncase M1. PM me for offers if interested (will take some reasonable-low offers because I'm desperate).

Why does Malwarebytes Anti-Malware say that it detects 2 malicious items in the GUI Miner folder that you provided?

It appears I can't connect to the server: v6deUsH.png

I set up my account correctly, what could be the cause?

 

Your username does not have the number after it like .1 or what ever your chose with your pool. Default is usually 1. Also I see you have a long password, it is not suggested that you use a "real" password because they are easy to obtain. All someone can do if they get in your worker is mine you coins which is more of a gift then any thing :P

Ya, I'm looking for a good pool as well. 

 

My Litecoin is already synchronized - and has been for days - but i can't connect to any pools.

 

Mining solo is not an option because that would take forever and a day to achieve anything. I'm using a 7850.

what about nvdia cards?

 

Using a 2x 780 @ 1200/7000 myself and getting around 460 KH/s each, my other rig is a 5970 and 2x5850 producing 1450KH/s so yeah nvidia cards can be used, but not as efficient as AMD cards.

Harr, darr and a couple of....... plastic earings?
