I have compiled litecoin core and am currently running litecoind which is downloading the blockchain.

What other command-line tools do I need in order to mine litecoin without a GUI? And what are the other prerequesites (aside from a beefy rig with lots of graphics cards etc)? Can I just create a wallet and set the daemon running? Does the daemon mine coins or do I need to use litecoin-cli to instruct the daemon as to the location of my wallet etc?

I can't seem to find any decent command line guides - most seem to be for cgminer or litecoin-qt

  • As with Bitcoin, it is not viable or worth your time to mine with a computer and hasn't been for a long time. Mining has moved to specialized ASIC processors which can do the job faster and much more efficiently.

You have miners on command line like sgminer or cgminer. You can use this with a GUI but it is not a requirement.

You can find usage guide on previous link. Exemple for sgminer. After you build it and install it, you simply have to execute this command to lunch mining :

sgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password

Replace :

  • pool by adresse of your pool
  • port by the port of your mining pool
  • username and password by your pool login.
