Minerd using scrypt for litecoin [Windows/ or Linux]

Replace pool.ejpool.info:9332 with any pool that you have chosen in the examples below


Windows:
extract https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer/downloads into a folder end edit "MINE 2 THREADS.bat"

put in your worker details you command for starting minerd.exe shuld look sumthing like (depending on your machine):
(replace user and password with details from "My Workers" and --threads with amount of cpu cores you wish to use)

Its working when you see the following.

Thanks to Pooler for all the great work he has done with cpuminer!

IF you feel anything needs to be added or changed in this short little how to.. please let me know.

NOTE: If you get missing libcurl for 64 bit linux. Here is how to resolve it. Make sure to rerun ./autogen.sh after you install libcurl

Thanks for the post!... but there is a new way to do it (integrated ATIs)?

If i will do mining with pure CPU this is still the best way?

Wow.. this is way old. Updated a few pools.. But it still works for CPU mining

Of course...

AVG does not like it:


Can I safely ignore it and go on?

I'm sorry but I don't get this at all, I extracted the file and their is not 2 threads.bat file anywhere. What am I missing?
