The hashrate shown indicates SHA256 mining - no GPU ever managed 2 digit MegaHash/sec on Scrypt much less 3 digit MH/sec (and nothing as old as a HD 4xxx series managed SINGLE digit megahash, even high-end 79xx cards barely managed 1 Mhash/sec if THAT high).

 Free electric don't matter when trying to mine SHA256 on a GPU - you will be lucky to get *a* share once in a while, and the cards will die LONG before you earn $1 worth of Bitcoin.

 Scrypt mining on a GPU isn't a ton better, but MIGHT barely be profitable with free electric given the current price vs. difficulty.
 First-generation Scrypt ASIC (GC 3355) based gear is back to being profitable on very very low cost electric.
 Those weren't much more than 20 times as efficient as the best GPUs mining Scrypt at the time the GC 3355 "orbs" were first introduced, the newer RX series might manage to exceed 1/10th as efficient.

how cute to mine ltc  with a 2006 gpu in 2017 ! Smiley


seriously dude ltc was not profitable  with those card not even back in 2013....




you know instead of being an ass you could just help me with the actual question... calling me cute when you have the personality of a 13 year old is cute you dont know my situation so just help or keep moving im learning and i have components sitting around...and yes electric is free kinda odd you guys would hope someone doesnt have free electric as me personally would think good for you...you must be a grimey dunce of a man thanks for taking the time to reply though but you were too busy being snide so you forgot to answer the question
If your electricity is free and LEGAL then you can turn this to huge profits you need a good investment budget to build as rigs as you can and this free electricity will turn into gold , most profitable mining strategies are those with free electricity , if you don't have the budget you can ask local investors to fund you and give them interest as i did Smiley , goodluck

well i dont get it i know its a bad hashrate but wats weird is im getting 3 times the hr as my gtx 1080 and i make 4 dollars a day with it... but i am just wondering why its is saying connected to pool giving me hashrates finding blocks and still saying my worker is inactive one day i will try and find a mate to start a farm but for now im just having fun staying in the scene

From what I see in the image you posted the shares you are sending are rejected.
From what I've read here ( https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/2mjr2c/help_100_reject_highhash/ ) this may be due the fact you try to send sha256 (bitcoin) shares to a litecoin pool.
This means that you have wrong miner software or wrong settings.

That's also why mining looked this profitable to you. Really, mining litecoin with GPU is not an option now.
Try ETH, XMR, XEC, XZC, ... read more, you'll find the right coin for your card.
kay solid advice thanks

getting no active worker or hash read out on pool. im using 2 radeon 4600s... here is the conf file and run logs.

Since normal people mine LTC with ASIC, the fact that you see no shares doesn't tell much.
Your hash rate is too small to see anything useful, even if you are actually mining.

You'd better try to mine with GPU something that will return more than the tx fee. If you find the right coins you may even get some profit.
You know that electricity doesn't come for free, I hope.
