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:


Also, running the app Litecoin-Qt crashes with this error:

Any thoughts?

Failing? Looks like success from here. Props for the legwork on getting the pool running. My measly 6 cores (Goldie) don't eve show up now, but no worries. Vultures gonna eat every time, so get your cut, and keep my 5%.

Dunno about --s and I'm having the same thing happen to me now. My cores are 100% but nothing shows on the pool. Admin, any thoughts? I'll fire it up now and then to keep trying it, but there seems to be a problem with workers staying, or getting, into the pool. For reference, I was good for about 4 hours prior to about 12:30 AM EST.

No, it didn't happen yet. I haven't paid anything out. So, look, I'm just saying my rig seems to be working on this pool. Maybe I'm throwing away a couple bucks on electrons. I'll pay out when I get something worth a payout. Till then my settings, that work are:

minerd.exe --algo scrypt --s 6 --threads 6 --url http://184.107.145.244:8332 --userpass Lh6aWBUnpxR7F1srHwYt8z4u8koHU65CFj_1:1

CD to your minerd.exe folder and replace everything after 'userpass' with your miner deets. Give it a go, or post back something more useful. This is what I got going on my 6 (humble) Opteron cores, and I'm mining Ltc, as far as I can tell.

What are you referring to? I'm mining at this, albeit beta, pool: http://184.107.145.244 and it is working. Proof, go here: http://184.107.145.244/stats.php I'm Goldie and my shares are showing up on my workers page.

Unless it's some extremely elaborate ruse, it seems to be working as well as any other pool I've seen. At least at the moment.

Hey WannaB, I'm 1 of the 2 in your pool. 6 Opteron cores at ~6 KH/s (out of 8 total on the site right now).

Think I've got it set up right, but want to check - I can point all 6 cores at one miner on your setup, right? Seems to be from my end, every core is sporting 100% utilization.

2 Noob questions. 1st, The config file. How do I set or discover  'rpcuser' and 'rpcpassword' as shown in the sample below. I want the GUI/wallet to mine for me so I'll uncomment 'gen=1' but it seems to still do nothing.

Sample litecoin.conf file from the main post:

Second, non of the wallet buttons do anything on my machine. Can't push send, receive, address book, etc. But it did download all the blocks and keep updating them just fine.
Thanks for any help.

Will do. I'm using GUI Miner. Is there a better way to do it than the -f60 trick? Seems inelegant and wasteful to have a card splitting resources in 'good times'

I like you conspiracy theories Deslok! Plus, less difficulty is hard to hate.
Question, is it better to point small (~2 Ghash) guns at a operating pool during times like this, or is it better to go solo? My line of thinking is it's better to be in a pool because you'll contribute to solving a block faster, and that's what effectively hinders any 51% bs. Going solo with anything less than 10 Ghash seems wasteful of precious block solving time.

BTW, I'm at BTC Guild for now.

This thread is very helpful. I previously bought from cablesaurus for my dedicated mining rig and thought it was a little pricey, but it worked, so I soon forgot. Now that prices are so low I'm pinching pennies. Still, I'd like to add 2 5870s to a 2u server I've got running for other purposes. Call me stupid for throwing $ at a mining rig, but I'm an ardent believer in Bitcoins.

Adequate power to the cards and the mobo is not an issue, but connecting the cards is. The Mobo has 2 8xPCI-e connectors (http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron2000/MCP55/H8DM3-2.cfm)

So I'm thing that 2 of these 8x to 16x cable 'adapters' would do the trick: http://www.9mart.com/products/2-Lots-PCI%252dExpress-Extension-Cable-8x-To-16x-Riser-Card-For-1U%7B47%7D2U.html

Thanks, and any advice from hardened miners is very welcome. Gotta watch those Btc lately!

If you piece them out, let me know if you have a carcass (mobo, PSU, etc. without the v-cards) you need to unload - I'd consider it.

Can you give details on the silver? Is is bullion or coins? Which types/brands/etc are you trading?

Your site is Ballz! Nice job.

Fact. I'm not a hater.

Looks great on my miner! Can't see the 1010... ring b/c my phone cam is $hit. Awesome though. Putting other on my car hopefully it'll get people asking/interested. Every little bit helps I figure. 

Maybe these other coins, like IX and I0 are pulling miners away from Btc?

Adam here. Just saying hi and getting into the groove of this forum.

Cool, thanks lowfi

Mine just showed up in my wallet, sort of, but it says [0/unconfirmed] under status and the line is greyed out.  Odd.
Curious, why did you pick Slush pool? Just wondering the pros/cons since maybe I should switch too.

Thanks. I'm still waiting to see it show up. Hopefully it will soon!
