Scrypt? You downloaded a litecoin miner. Also good luck mining if you don't tell the miner on what mine (pool or solo client)
do you have any advice on how to tell the miner what or where to mine? or any advice on what miner that does CPU based mining to use if can't advise me on 'cpuminer'?
this is where i downloaded the miner from, but cannot post in that thread yet:
