I am solo mining with your setup, but when I enter gethashespersec in the debug console it outputs "0"
is this normal? Because reaper is mining happily

Have you gotten a block in a reasonable amount of time mining considering your hash rate?

You write the setting gen should be set to 0 but here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.575812 they claim it should be set to 1. And in their posted code this settings is marked as a comment. So whats the correct setting?

Edit: It looks to me now that gen=0 is the correct setting. Setting it to 1 will start the mining automatically. Strangely the mining tab in the wallet isnt showing that the mining runs.

Thanks!
Sebastian

Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to setup scryptminer but reaper doesnt work. I tried to run cpu-only mining litecoins only and it told me that a config was missing about threads per cpu. I added the config and then it told me that litecoins cant be mined with reaper. oO Then i used the normal exe and it had the error that it cant connect to OpenCL. I have a NVidia GeForce 9600M GT and i can mine bitcoins with it by using guiminer. So i think everything needed is installed.

By the way... are these 2 miners the fastest to mine litecoins with cpu and/or gpu?

Thanks!

CGminer for gpu's.

Latest Litecoin client.

I've done everything correctly that is in the how to.

Code:

E:\>cd E:\Litecoin

E:\Litecoin>litecoin-qt.exe -server -datadir=E:\Litecoin

And everything works fantastic.

Note to OP. If you like to input this info in the OP, I have my litecoin directory "wallet directory" in a different location rather than in roaming. The switch cmd for the directory to be used can be inserted after -server.

Code:

How did you overnight go?

Very well. After about 12 hours I have 4 blocks solved which is CRAZY good luck as far as I can calculate. I have 200LTC in the wallet all confirmed so it does work. Shares are 3/118, might mean 3 blocks solved since I restarted reaper after the first block came in, not really sure.

Thanks for the guide. I will be throwing some coin your way, what is your address? You might want to add it to the OP as well.

Glad you got it all working

. So it appears in your case those stales were erroneous

Are they likely blocks? (I mean does your hash rate make sense to have gotten 4-6 blocks in that time span?) If yes, then you may need o reduce aggression or over clock, if no then they are likely meaningless...

Not quite I have 1500khs and those stales came in about an hour. I do believe that I have solved a block since then so I'm going to let it run over night.

What does the shares column represent anyway? Because it seems like pool vs solo the numbers are much different.

Generally when you get a share while solo-mining, that means you solved a block.

check my comments earlier in this thread. reaper mis-reports stales when solo mining for some reason.

Oh that's what you meant. I had trouble comprehending it at first. Thanks for the tip!

Welp. I'm stumped. So far on my rig I've only gotten 5/5 stales with the same clocks I have been using to mine on the pools. What could possibly be wrong?

check my comments earlier in this thread. reaper mis-reports stales when solo mining for some reason. you have to run it for a few days and compared your earnings to the calc to see if it running ok.

I don't seem to get more than 260 for a 5870. Any idea on perfect settings for reaper?

Edit: Fixed everything and am now at 800kh/s for 2 5870.

How do you do that?!

When I had the same issue with 27 stales I realized there was no way my (at that time) 80kH/s (even at a difficulty around 1) could have gotten 27 blocks overnight (and I was able to reproduce) however I did find true blocks at a good rate.

one easy question

when i found a block, then the reward will go automaticaly to my main wallet address on litecoin - qt - server running ?

and second - how much dedicated rigs i have connected to qt-server, that many standalone solomining units i will have ? or are they mining together ?

Yes, the block reward will, after 120 confirms (120 blocks later, essentially) credit into your the main wallet address that your litecoind or litecoinqt server is running on.

Secondly, if you say have 5 computers on your network all mining to litecoin-qt on a 6th, then they are all mining together, however they are each doing a separate set of hashes, if that makes sense. There will be no redundancy in the hashes hashed, however if any of those computers finds a block, then the resulting reward will go to the 6th computer (as it is the one running the litecoin client). They are mining together in the same way a pool does.

82 blocks in 84hrs, pretty close to expectancy.

700mh is 2x 5850s

Awesome, glad everything is working for you

How's your luck doing?

And what card are you using for 700kH/s?

7970?

Another update if anyone is interested in this: my mining running exactly on expectancy after another 56 hours continuous.

Also- the getwork problem seems to only happen when you first start mining on litecoin-qt. After a few hours with litecoin-qt running it seems to disappear completely from reaper.. must be some sort of lag issue with litecoin-qt. In any case I am now hopefully running at 100% efficiency! (minus orphans of course).
