GPU mining litecoin is also useless. There are ASICs for it for a long time now.
Look around in the ccminer threads for nvidia miners.
Topic: Litecoin mining with NVIDIA GPU - page 2. (Read 27754 times)
Hi guys
I have a computer that is on 24/7 and I have a GTX 960 card in there. I'd like to see if I can use this for mining litecoin when its on. I started to do this for bitcoin but quickly gave up after I read up everywhere its pretty useless.
I am now in the litecoin camp and would like a little steer from you experts.
As I want to use my existing PC with a powerful mid range GPU GTX 960. What are the current best methods of doing this? There are way to many youtube videos and articles about, the only reason I am asking and raising this now is to know what is "currently" the best method of mining litecoin.
I used the GUI MIner located on this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gui-mining-updated-dec-3-with-7970-bugfix-also-supports-stratum-3878 and it gave me about 330 Mhash per sec for bitcoin.
Since switching to litecoin, I am not sure which miner to use. I did use the same GUI miner I used for Bitcoin to do litecoin mining with a pool from wemineltc.com and it seems that I have getting the same hash rate as I did with Bitcoin. It also seems to accept shares exactly like bitcoin. I am not sure if its actually working though.
I then found this Cudaminer on https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cudaminer-ccminer-cuda-based-mining-applications-windowslinuxmacosx-167229 which apparently does scrypt mining.
Can I get some help with this please? Again, this is just to put a computer that is on 24/7 to good use.
Lastly, I have read in a few places that mining with a Nvidia card is not the best thing to do, what are your thoughts?
