Just to clarify, when it says the difficulty of Litecoin is 42.4k, does that mean i need a share worth more or equal to 42.k, or do i need a share worth more or equal to 42.4k * 65536?

LOL? Solo mining Litecoin with 200Khash/s

Somebody needs to teach you about probability and difficulty.

You won't find a block with that hash rate. Get on a pool.


Also stop mining Scrypt with GPUs mine X11 instead.




theres too little to be gained on a pool, i'd rather test my luck, and as far as i know, i would have gotten the block with that share if my miner was working properly

You're solo mining with 200KH/s?

Do you get accepted shares when pool mining? Or just rejects?


It's working fine with pool mining, getting alot of accepted. on pools i can even sett the diff for my miners on my pool website, and then i sometimes get high shares, like 1k+

This is scrypt mining (litecoin), so 200KH/s works..
yes but 200kh/s isn't a lot... (compared to litecoin nethashrate), in solo it would take you forever (or a lot of luck) to get a block...
also if you are solo mining (are you ? getting lost), you don't find any share, it just mean one of the hash you generated hash which has a height similar to a ltc block, but that doesn't mean it corresponds to a real block...

yeah, might be lost. but i've been told that if i can get a share above the net diff (43k) then that would mean i would get the block in solo mining?

is that correct?

i have actually several times got high shares in both solo and pool mining, (58.1k, 70k, 430k, 1.21M), so four times, with 200KH/s, and that was just in about 1-2 weeks.

so im wrong if i say that if my setup was correct i would get a block for each those shares, since they are above the diff for litecoin which is 43k?

Your cgminer states you are mining at diff 18.4e :

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9148441


Indeed, it should be the same as the net diff.

i experimentet with a C code like this:
Code:

unsigned long x = 0;
x--;
printf("%lu\n", x);

unsigned long is 64bit, so when it overflows it becomes ~18.4E
therefore, what i belive - i might be wrong - is that cgminer actually gets an -1 error code when it tries to get the diff, and then it becomes 18.4E

or i might be totally lost..

but it does show a right value  when im mining in a pool..

you misunderstand, i didn't get a total of 1.21 million shares, i got like a share that was supposted to be 'worth' > the diff of litecoin.

like this
Code:
....Accepted 43k/43k on GPU0...
then it is bad luck, it may have orphaned, you can check that in your wallet if you do a "listtransactions"

I got no blocks from this, as i understand i need to get the best share above the net diff (43k for litecoin) to get the reward.
