Hey Guys,

Which miner do you use for mining this coin? I know it is Scrypt, but when I look here: https://litecoin.info/Mining_software It's confusing and outdated. (I know this is the page for LTC but i figured it's the same software? )

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

BTW, I'm having some slight issues with the graphic rendering of the wallet. I'm using a Microsoft SurfaceBook and the balance isn't rendered properly.....

Just so understand this, if I choose to...

Boot from ubuntu live cd
Install bitcoin


Thanks all

Ok so what's a 'separate miner' then?

Is this something additional to bitcoin.exe that's required?

Hey guys,

I am really new to Bitcoin and am having an issue on my Windows 7 x64 machine.

It has just hung saying at the bottom 8 connections and 134405 blocks.

Yesterday it was working fine, then my machine ran some updates and automatically rebooted itself over night and now it doesn't work.

I have added Bitcoin.exe to the exceptions list in Microsoft Security Essentials and allowed it through the Firewall but still the blocks do not go up.

Sorry but I don't really have an understanding of what the blocks actually mean but I guess if the number isn't going up then its not crunching any numbers so to speak.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks
