Getting Started

  1. Create account.
    • Register here, or login if you already have account
    • Create a worker that will be used by the miner to login
  2. Download a miner.
    • Windows users: download a "batteries" included package for 64-bit or 32-bit Windows. These packages include Pooler's cpuminer 2.1.2 and Matoking's GUI r6, updated 2012-02-03.
      Extract the files into a folder and start the included ScryptMiner.
      If you don't want a graphical user interface, you can download an optimized command-line miner here.
    • Linux users: download and compile cpuminer. Under Debian and Ubuntu, you can use the following recipe:
        sudo apt-get install make automake build-essential git libcurl4-openssl-dev
        git clone git://github.com/pooler/cpuminer.git
        cd cpuminer
        ./autogen.sh
        ./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
        make
        ./minerd --url http://pool.grewe.ca:8337/ --userpass Weblogin.Worker:Worker password
      
    • Mac OS X users: precompiled binaries are available here.
  3. Configure your miner.
    Start your miner using the following parameters:
    URL:http://pool.grewe.ca/
    PORT:8337
    Username:Weblogin.Worker
    Password:Worker Password
    If you use a command-line miner, type:
    	./minerd --url http://pool.grewe.ca:8337/ --userpass Weblogin.Worker:Worker password
    
    If you want, you can create additional workers with usernames and passwords of your choice Here

  4. Create a Litecoin address to recieve payments.
    • Downloading the client & block chain: Download the Litecoin client from the official site
      . Generate a new address and input it on your account page to receive payments.
    • Using Instawallet: visit the LTC Instawallet and create a new wallet... keep the link as it is tied to your address/balance essentially your accout
      downloading the client and maintaining your own wallet.dat is always safest
  5. Optional (linux): Keeping miner updated
    • Updateting manual:
            cd cpuminer
            git pull
            make clean
            ./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
            make
            ./minerd --url http://pool.grewe.ca:8337/ --userpass Weblogin.Worker:Worker Password
