Got it fixed with help from pool support.   I had my clock rate too high

I have a question using the https://www.litecoinpool.org/minerconfig
It doesn't seem to have my exact card, which is an AMD Radeon HD 6410 D.  Does it need to be the exact card?
Also, how do we know what intensity we want to chose?
I am getting a frequency of 975 and a rate of about twice of what is showing up in my litecoinpool panel. 
That page is old and not maintained anymore. (And as far as I know it is not linked from anywhere on the pool's website.)
To answer your question, setting up a GPU for Litecoin mining involved a lot of trial and error. It was almost more of an art than a science.
As stated on the Help page, the pool has officially stopped offering assistance to GPU miners, as it would only be a waste of time and energy for everybody involved.

How long does "stratum from pool 0 requested work restart" usually last? I know what it means, but should we even have our asic machines running when this is going on, just as far as wear and electricity?  Is it all of litecoinpool.org that is getting it, or should I configure my machine differently?
Getting that message 2-3 times per minute is perfectly normal. It does not depend on your setup, and despite what some people think it does not imply anything negative. It just means that the pool sent you new work.

I'm running at 414 Kh/s consistently and only getting credited for 152 Kh/s.  I get all 0's at the end of my statement in the CMD box as it's processing, which I heard is a sign that I'm right on my side.
I'm using
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3333 -u brainstormer.1 -p 1    --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=975,chips=5 --hotplug 5
with a Gridseed Orb.   Please someone give some support on this because something isn't right.
Sounds like hardware errors. If possible, send us a screenshot of cgminer.
As for the cause, with Gridseeds the power source is very often the culprit, so you may want to check that first.

just signed up and pointed miners here.

wow...awesome pool.  great stats, easy setup, fast recognition of rigs....I kind of feel like an ass not mining here sooner.

nice

very new ... and I'm sure its been asked and answered but the amount of data is overwhelming and I have been looking but cant figure it out. I'm running bfgminer on A8-8650b + XFX HD 5450 (I know its not a very good setup but I'm just trying to understand things before I start getting better cards) ... anywho ... i connect to the pool using
Code:
bfgminer -S opencl:auto -L bfglog -g 1 --url=stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 --userpass=.1:1
[...]
the thing is, all my shares are invalid (14 invalid - 100%) ?! any pointers to why?

You're probably using the wrong hashing algorithm. The correct one for Litecoin is called "scrypt". If I remember correctly bfgminer has a --scrypt flag for this.

Anyway, let me point out for the umpteenth time that GPU mining is completely pointless nowadays. If you haven't already, I suggest you read this. GPU mining is simply too slow and inefficient to be anywhere near profitable. In addition, it can be very hard to set up correctly, much more so than an ASIC, and this makes its usefulness as a tool for beginners to "get started" questionable to say the least.

I just got my gridseed orb about 30 minutes ago and I joined your pool.  I am using cgminer.  I haven't compiled the wallet yet, it's almost done.
I am new to mining but not to dos and batch files.  

This is the ready made batch file I'm using:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777 -u yourworker.1 -p password --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=975,chips=5 --hotplug 5

Not really sure how to tweak it to work with the litecoinpool.  I am grateful for any help.

Clueless!
Hello,

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth investing in a 900MH/s miner to mine scrypt as a hobby?  I'd like some opinions as to whether it's still possible to make some pocket change mining and trading.  The ROI is ~230 days on the 900MH/s miner.

I'm honestly looking for some answers with some substance.  Too many people saying no or yes, but without any information to just help a little bit.

Thank you anyone, for your knowledge.




Don't know of any legit not a scam 900mh miners for scrypt. If it is a mess of KNC Titans or the new A4's coming out use the below calc is best bet imho

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15534011

but again ..lots of scams out there on equipment so watch out. There is an A4 group buy for 280mh units by innsilicon that is a scary pre-order and only 90 day warranty
but timeline wise it is iffy on when it may come out fyi.







I have a A2 terminator
is it worth mining litecoin and then tradig for bitcoin or just use clevermining and let them do all the work?

use this calculator (you don't have to be part of the pool for it to work)

www.litecoinpool.org/calc

I know a buddy had 1ike 11c kwh electric who sold his on ebay said it was not worth doing. But best to do the calcs
with your own electric use and watts etc etc

Thats a tough call at the moment. There are some new miners set to come out "sometime". Without any real specs on them and a real date to be released it is hard to tell if its worth it to buy anything else. I assume you are looking at a few Titans to buy? If the price is right and if they work to spec it could be a good investment.

The best advice I can give is to read and try to make an informed decision. Also do not spend more than you can afford to lose. Mining is a pretty big gamble, Ive personally lost multiple times while mining - however Ive also gained other times.

Hey I'm trying to mine using android with the NeoNeonMiner app but I can't get any connection to the server.  Was wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Here's the settings I entered.

Mining Server: stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org
Internet Port: 3333
Internet Protocol: stratum+tcp
Mining Protocol: scrypt
Username: SwiftyMcJ.1
Password: I put the password I created on the website for my worker
Number Of Threads: 4

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Try setting the server to us.litecoinpool.org without the stratum+tcp://

Thanks, that explains things.
I setup the account yesterday and pointed my A2 rigs at it to see how it works.
It was very smooth, and works well, but I wasn't sure how to get the funds out.
Thanks again  for the explanation. Ill just wait a few more hours and the button should show up.

Thanks ,but where can I find this button? I don't see it anywhere on the account page.
Does the button not show-up because it's < 24 hours since I started?

Correct. The manual payout button will appear when you'll be able to request a manual payout.
