I only use what I have which happens to be a single GTX460, and while I wouldn't normally have mentioned it  ...I get up to 150khs mining Litecoin and more if I overclock it but at the moment its summer here and so with no special cooling I am somewhat limited by GPU temp. I try not to run it over much over 80C.
Mining Max I get 50ghs lol sounds impressive, but not economic of course.

the K and the F or the T depend on the type of kernel your Nvidia graphics card uses. Cudaminer tell you in the first few line when you run it
It will say something like GeForce GTX 460 with compute capability 2.1 where the 2.1 means I have Fermi kernel which means I use F settings for config parameter -l  

Readme definitely worth reading if you are struggling

have you read the readme section where it says

. Launch configs should look somewhat like this
(do not exceed the warp figures given here)

-l F1000x16
-l K1000x32   << fastest on my GTX 780
-l T1000x24

Best to replace the 1000 blocks with a large multiple of your card's
multiprocessor count. At least a few hundred, but probably less than 3000.


hey I'm a learner here too but I would suggest taking away the -q so you can see more of the output.  I don't know how powerful your 670 is or what kernel it uses but you need to check that out with testing and apply the appropriate config presumably you think its a K kernel. try lowering the  launch config numbers as well, F1000x16 worked whereas F1000x32 failed for me.

I just give 3% of everything I get, ongoing trailing commissions are powerful for the recipient.

yeh I was getting the out of memory but it didn't stop it from mining successfully. the -L 512 parameter seems to sort this error from appearing even if it was inconsequential ;+)

Cheers for that

thanks for posting that. So great to see the man behind Litecoin and hear the story.

I collect silver and love the analogy between crypto-coins and precious metals
I also now collect Litecoin, as it seems Bitcoin has got away from me.
My mining is pretty slow and wont be economic on current values but I believe its an investment in the future and like my silver collection I rarely sell, but simply accumulate.

I cant see any way to change the intensity in the Readme of the latest version.
Perhaps using the -i parameter set to 1 will assist a little depending the situation.

cdogster with two cards - perhaps only run one of them using the -d option.

mainly 
but patience will be required ,+)

BitCON

uh huh 

I'm using
Litecoin version v0.8.6.1-beta
Litecoin-QT

I've backed up the wallet but I haven't encrypted it. Its not enough value to be even remotely significant to me tbh. But yeh point taken I should do that.

I've been buying Litecoins on a trading platform but due to daily expiry (and a $1 spread) was costing me $20 a day just to hold the a 20 Litecoin long position so am looking for a way to purchase them outright and I guess store them in the wallet.

Good Mining , may your hashrates be high

Thanks Capn, I assume you know what you're talking about - given you are still a newbie too lol
it sounds reasonable hahah.

So hey, newbie question 

Whats happens if your wallet programme isn't running when a pool that you're mining with makes a payment to your address. Is it held or lost forever?
So is it necessary to run the wallet all the time or what? Seems to do a lot of talking even when its been synchronised...

Cheers for comments
PS Litecoin with OZcoin.net

yeh I know, my friend who is a developer and I sat down together about months ago and brainstormed bitcoin as a 'thing' about six months ago when it was $30 US . ugh.

But as a trader I know that there are always plenty of future opportunities and the rule to be applied is "Could've, would've, should've, DIDN'T".
Move on seek out the next.

I am still quite new to the mining aspect of crypto-coins and very surprised that there are so many alternatives to Bitcoin which I tried to mine ages ago but didn't get it going.

But now I have got Litecoin mining operating successfully. I only have an ordinary workstation and use the GPU running Cudaminer. I only achieve a hash rate of 175k so this is hardly economic.

I have traded BTC and LTC using a trading programme called Plus500.
I have traded normal foreign currencies for years and enjoy it as a challenge, it hasn't made me rich or poor.

Good Mining. May your hashrates be high

nah I don't recommend this... best not to know. At least then you can plead ignorance.
(Just in case he's stupid enough to tell you the truth and it is in fact drugs)

Good mining. May your hashrates be high

I wondered if the lowercase k was the issue. But I'm too newbie to have the courage of my convictions. heh.

Best to copy and paste the configs or be very particular about getting it correct ! 

How are those hashrates now?

I started off at 7k (I know! But truly that was my first using CGminer output ) but am now getting about 165, using 1 Nvidia GeForce GTX 460.

I have mined 1.5 tenths (0.15) of a Litecoin lol.

I dunno about USA or OZ but here in NZ I could not withdraw the whole balance and then spend it at a shop as well. The shop would reject. I know our banking system in considered advanced so maybe this is why.

Have you described the perfect scam. Nah I don't think so somehow. Banks aren't worried about that even if you are correct - you still owe them whether its easy for them to get immediately or not they will get it back unless you go bankrupt. So I don't really see that as important enough to create a valid distinction between crypto system and the normal banking system.

The important distinction between cryto and normal is not the centralisation (or deC) of them.

To some extent the crypto system utilises the collective power of deC as an integral feature in its calculations but, putting that aside the important distinction is the ability for normal currency (USD) to be magically created. The Feds are doing this now (and have been for over five years now) with their quantitative easing which is generally considered to be money printing although Bernanke disputes that terminology his criticism is semantic. Thus it comes back to scarcity. With the Feds adding trillions to their balance sheet , recently 85 billion a month , and 75 billion from Jan '14 the USDollar is getting less and less scarce all the time (understatement)
When currencies were gold backed they couldn't have done this, but now they are 'fiat' (or faith) currencies Reserve banks can just use open market operations to buy bonds and expand the money supply at will. To the thinking person this just devalues the currency and hence they look for other repositories of storage for their wealth. Usually property or stocks or commodities (which can not be artificially created at will by govt or quasi govt institutions), but now we see alt coins being developed and as these are generally based around requiring processing power to create them and so cannot be devalued easily they conform to the scarcity requirement.

I see crypto currencies as very much like mining gold , the product of all that effort is only really desired because its scarce and requires input to create. That input can be digging holes in the ground and extracting shiny yellow stuff or processing power slaving away over complex maths stuff.

Good mining and may your hashrates be high.

Cudaminer crashed sometimes during trialling for me but once up and running has been really stable.

I assume you got the config from autotune. In which case run it again and see if you get the same. I got different recommendations from autotune on different occasions with slightly different other config settings.
I still haven't tried texturing config.

Hi Chance567
I don't think decentralisation is a prerequisite for a cryptocurrency. I'm still a newbie and have only just received my first payment for mining Litecoin, but from what I can tell XRP - the money used by Ripple (currently 2nd in market Cap to Bitcoin) is a centralised cryptocurrency.
I'm mainly just sayin this to fill in the page and potentially as a point of discussion.

Good mining , hope your hashrates are high
