Minerd access denied #35

Closed hexzerg closed 11 years ago

hexzerg commented 11 years ago

When I follow the instructions on this website http://cryptocur.com/litecoin/litecoin-mining/ I try enter the command for c:\ltcminer\minerd -a scrypt -r 1 -t 4 -s 6 -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -O cryptocur.1:1 but I keep getting a message that says Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I am the creator of the file so I don't understand why I would get this message. Can someone please help me figure this out.

You should be using reaper and not connecting to localhost, you should be using a pool. These days it is almost impossible to solo mine your own block

These issues are for bugs in the Litecoin reference client, not user support users. Please ask for help in #litecoin or the litecoin forum.
