SupaDupa's Pro Guide to Litecoin Stratum Mining (Windows) *UPDATED November 11th 2013* *FINAL UPDATE TO THIS GUIDE*:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
ProTip: Stratum replaces the now obsolete getworks with a much more efficient push/pull/poll. Stratum introduces the new Pay on Target mining algorithm which involves mining extremely high difficulty shares for an attempt at much larger reward payouts but is not available on Litecoin Pool as it is a strictly PPS Pool.
MAJOR UPDATE: As of CGMiner 3.8.x CGMiner only supports ASiC devices and all GPU Code has been removed. Because of this this will be the final version of this Guide :'(
1. Download CGMiner 3.7.2 *Must be version 2.10.3 or higher to enable Stratum mining* @ http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.7/cgminer-3.7.2-windows.zip
2. Login to Litecoin Pool @ http://litecoinpool.org
3. Create a shortcut to CGMiner 3.7.2
4. Right click on your newly made CGMiner 3.7.2 shortcut and go to Properties under the target field go to the very end press spacebar and type in -o http://litecoinpool.org:9332 (London, England) or http://us.litecoinpool.org:9332 (New York, USA) yourusername.1 -p 12345 --scrypt --shaders numberofshadersyourcardshavehere -I intensityyouwanthere -g numberofgputhreadsyouwanthere
