In previous articles we’ve discussed how to configure cgminer for the latest AMD video cards to mine Litecoins (or for that matter, any Scrypt-based coin). Today I’ll explain how to maximize your earning potential by putting that idle CPU to work for you as well.
So you’re wanting to get started mining some coins? Great! The first thing you’re going to do is probably download the latest and greatest wallet software from litecoin.org and install it to your everyday PC. But wait, is that the best (and safest?) way to handle your coins?
A lot of the magic in Litecoin mining is finding the best combination of hardware and cgminer configurations to get the best hashrates while remaining stable and online 24/7.
I’ll do my best in this post to share what configurations have worked best for me using the latest AMD hardware (notably 7970, 280x and 290x).
