Okay.  For some reason those are all default settings entered for user, password, host, and port.  Can you select File --> Save in guiminer and then dump the contents of C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\poclbm\poclbm_scrypt.ini here?  You can remove your miner passwords if they are saved there

no i'm registered in www.litecoinpool.org . and my credentials i'm entering in guiminer like this

Hi,

From the above the problem is with your credentials.  Do you have a registered account at ltcmine.ru and worker credentials (-u user -p password should be your username and password for worker)?

so here i'm still with same probelm.  Sad
i waited for more then 3 minutes.. (about a hour) and still saying [2013-03-20 16:18:18] Error -1: Getting Device IDs (num)
you mentioned also this coed: 2013-03-20 16:18:21: Listener for "cgminer": .. this one i cant see there just that one above
I also wanted to install that ADL library you send me link, but after i uzip it icant find any executable file.. there is just html, wuth some documentations

Hm.  When you run guiminer-scrypt, open the console, then go back to your cgminer tab and hit start.  In the console you should see a command like:
Code:
2013-03-19 23:17:10: Running command: C:\guiminer\cgminer\cgminer.exe --scrypt -u user -p password -o stratum+tcp://ltcmine.ru:3333 --gpu-platform 1 -d 0 -w 256 -v 1 -I 14 -g 1 -l 1 -T  --thread-concurrency 16000

Go into the windows command console (start --> type in cmd --> run cmd by clicking on it) and then copy and paste all the code after "C:\" (to paste into terminal, right click and select paste).  Then at the end of the command, type "--debug" after "--thread-concurrency #####".

Hit enter and let me know what you get for the output, it sounds like a problem with cgminer.

Hi thanks for support, i wasnt at computer over weekend, i was working too much in offline mode.. so here is what i get after i didi what you say.

Aawesome! yes that was it, port 3334, how did I miss it. with intensity at 18 its running 300kh/s but making computer useless for anything else, will down the instensity. Very happy to be mining at last. Thanks for your extremely fast help. all the best

HD6870, thread concurrency 6720, also I have tried setting the core clock  down which increased the hashrate to 245k/hs I have read your core/memory thread too. thanks

Post what your card is and your settings, sounds like thread concurrency is too low

Edit: isn't port 3334 litecoin on coinotron?

Hi from New Zealand, happy to be aboard this exiting project after lurking for a year or so. I have finally managed to get guiminer going but am not seeing my hashrate (currently 160kh/s) registering inside Coinotron. Also I am getting only stale/invalid shares (about 1 every 2-3 seconds) on the local app, the accepted amount stays at zero. I ran it for about an hour before giving up. I am using stratum through port 3333. Any suggestions please?

about adl, not an 100% sure but it should open automatically if you have catalyst, if not you direct device manager driver update to that folder.

Hi,

If you see,
Code:
2013-03-20 16:18:21: Listener for "cgminer": [2013-03-20 16:18:18] Error -1: Getting Device IDs (num)
this is normal.  I'm not 100% sure what causes it yet, but it doesn't seem to affect mining at all.

Anyway, after this the kernel usually builds for cgminer, so wait 2-3 minutes and see if it begins mining after that.  If not, something else is wrong unrelated to the above error.

The ADL Library is here too: http://developer.amd.com/tools/graphics-development/display-library-adl-sdk/
Usually it comes with your driver, but you can try installing it as well

^ Sorry I haven't replied to your PM yet, have been busy

ADL is the ATI Display Library, which is used by cgminer miner to do things like set clocks and display temperatures.  If can be disabled by adding "--no-adl" to extra flags in the cgminer tab, but you should not have to disable it.  Make sure that you have both AMD Drivers and AMD APP SDK installed.

Also, guiminer-scrypt does not yet support CPU mining, this may be changed in an upcoming release.

Ok, i understand. we are all busy  Cool
I'm quite sure, that i have installed both drivers and still see this problem..
I tried to set that extra flag you mentioned and again no success. now it says : Error -1: Getting device IDs (num)
 Huh

Hi.. im quite new to bitcoin/litecoin mining.

i have a problem with guiminer.. i want to mine litecoins at litecoinpool.org, i set up everything, but when i choose gpu in that guiminer and press start button, i can read there ATI ADL's API is missing.  anyone knows what to do?
when i choose cpu in guiminer, i have also a problem. it looks like it is going to start.  i see there pool information and info :starting....
but this starting is there  more then hour.. i think it is not going to start.. so any idea what i can do?

Added version 0.03 alpha, which includes enabling high thread concurrency usage in cgminer Smiley

Is there any way to have GUIMiner-scrypt start/stop on certain events? I would like to be able to to run something like a batch file command and macro it to switch over profiles for mining; full throttle at idle, moderate setting for some games, and off for gpu intensive ones. Ideally mining would be throttled by resource usage or if a an exe is loaded but I can't code so I can't tweak things. Embarrassed

And to mine both Bitcoins and Litecoins I just need to have two cgminers open and connect to each respective pool, correct? Smiley

This feature would take a lot of time to implement and isn't in the works for now; the easiest thing would just be to stop the miner, lower the intensity, then raise it again later when you're doing something else.

To mine litecoin and bitcoin you'd need to have this guiminer and the original bitcoin guiminer open at the same time, then make a cgminer tab in both programs and run them.  I have no idea what kind of hash rates you'll get with each, though.

my reported hash rate slowly goes down over time until i restart it.  any idea why?

curious,  what are the normal reasons why your hash rate would go down?

I'm not totally sure.  Your configuration above looks totally normal

One thing to try is to run cgminer outside of the gui.  To do this, open the console in the guiminer and then hit start on cgminer.  if you go back to the console, you will see a command for cgminer, something like
Code:
2013-03-19 23:17:10: Running command: C:\guiminer\cgminer\cgminer.exe --scrypt -u user -p password -o stratum+tcp://ltcmine.ru:3333 --gpu-platform 1 -d 0 -w 256 -v 1 -I 14 -g 1 -l 1 -T  --thread-concurrency 16000

Go into the start menu and type "cmd", then open a command console.  Copy the command above starting with "C:\....", then right click on the command console and paste it in.  Execute the command and hit enter.  Then, let cgminer run for a while and see if you see the hash rate decreasing in the actual program.  If this is the case, it's an issue with cgminer and not with guiminer.
