yes you can, I use BFGminer to mine BTC with my FPGAs and cgminer to mine litecoins with my GPU

just make sure when your using cgminer your config looks something like this

Quote
cgminer-2.8.4-win32\cgminer.exe --scrypt -o http://ltc.r00t3d.com:9327

--scrypt being the important part!

can i run cgminer for BTC and another instance for LTC? I dont have to have differnt miners...sounds kool...will start playing

yes you can run two instance of CGminer but you have to keep --scrypt for litecoin's

yes you can run two of cgminer, if you want to run two heres the link for bfgminer https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/old-bfgminer-modular-fpgagpu-gbt-stratum-rpc-avalonlnxopnwrtppaw64-78192

you can mine simultaneously, you MUST run a different instance of the miner for each coin though.

Yes you can run BTC and LTC on the same machine with no problems. You can even do it simultaneously. It will not corrupt the block chain or anything. Smiley

Can I run LTC or BTC on the one machine not simultaneously. I ask as my main miner has 2 FPGA attached but I want to dabble in an LTC set up to determine if I want to built an LTC only rig.

Will this corrupt eithers block chain or something strange?
