Can I mine Bitcoins with a FPGA and Litecoins with my GPUs all on the same rig?


i don`t see why not, you will need to use 2 instances of cgminer or maybe a cgminer for the LTC and cgminer-fpgaonly for BTC

better use --shaders instead of --lookup-gap and --thread-concurrency when configuring cgminer

Thanks guys, I'm now mining it on a Windows PC.

Now I'm looking for a way to mine on linux servers are well, as well as a good pool.

Any suggestions welcome.

Theres little point mining LTC on CPU's, as most miners use GPUs.  It was a farce that Litecoin was meant to be CPU friendly/GPU prohibitive.

k um i think xurious runs a higher share difficulty than litecoin pool so thats why the pps rates are so different

Isn't the difficulty dictated by the network like bitcoin?

Notroll.in is good. Pps rate is just below Xurious. I don't think he has a minimum withdrawal limit.

if you are not good with doing commands and want a gui miner for ltc you could use this

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scryptminer-gui-simple-gui-for-litecoin-mining-62414 just put the newest version of poolers miner in the directory

I've got it working, though my hash rate is pretty low and it seemed to interfere with my bitcoin mining as it was getting new work in a slower fashion and that resulted in lower bitcoin hash rate.

So I probably won't be running it on my Windows machine, but instead on a linux server, trying to compile Cpuminer on it as we speak.

Too bad Litecoinpool is not taking new miners now, they're website is quite neat.

I've signed up to Xurious, but it seems will take some time before I can receive anything from them as the minimum payout is 10LTC.

Why their PPS rates are so far apart?

Luxirious is 16x greater than Litecoinpool!!  Shocked

0.00089567 / 0.00005483 = 16

It was mining at 14.5 Khash/s , then changed and stayed at 4.5.

Isn't is too low for Intel i5?

what i5 is it?

You can easily use minerd [google it] for cpu mining, I think it exists on linux.
as far as a pool take a look at ltc.kattare.com
