<p>Yes, use your pool adress instead of yours.
Password usually doesn't matter, however you can set it on pool website.</p>

<p>This tutorial shows creating your own pool, but since this question also shows that you are a begginer, start by mining by someone else.</p>

<p>i have run through <a href="http://cryptocur.com/litecoin/litecoin-mining/" rel="nofollow">this</a> tutorial but when i run:</p>

<pre><code>c:\ltcminer\minerd.exe -a scrypt -r 1 -t 4 -s 6 -o http://127.0.0.1:9332 -O pete345234.2:1
</code></pre>

<p>i get errors:</p>

<pre><code>json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds
</code></pre>

<p>do i need to use the litecoinpool.org url instead of <code>127.0.0.1</code>? also does the password matter for minerd.exe</p>

<p>i'm a bit stuck...</p>

<p><strong>edit 1</strong></p>

<p>i changed the command to this:</p>

<pre><code>c:\ltcminer\minerd.exe -a scrypt -r 1 -t 4 -s 6 -o us2.litecoinpool.org:9332 -O pete345234.2:1

<p>but still the response is the same error message.</p>

# litecoin minerd errors

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-07-31)

i have run through [this](http://cryptocur.com/litecoin/litecoin-mining/) tutorial but when i run:

```
c:\ltcminer\minerd.exe -a scrypt -r 1 -t 4 -s 6 -o http://127.0.0.1:9332 -O pete345234.2:1

```

i get errors:

```
json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

```

do i need to use the litecoinpool.org url instead of `127.0.0.1`? also does the password matter for minerd.exe

i'm a bit stuck...

**edit 1**

i changed the command to this:

```
c:\ltcminer\minerd.exe -a scrypt -r 1 -t 4 -s 6 -o us2.litecoinpool.org:9332 -O pete345234.2:1

```

but still the response is the same error message.

minerd was too old a version:

```
minerd --version
cpuminer 2.2.2

```

i downloaded cpuminer 2.3.2 and now everything is sweet. the command to get minerd working is:

```
minerd.exe -a scrypt -r1 -t4 -s6 -o stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3333 -O pete345234.2:1

```

Yes, use your pool adress instead of yours.

This tutorial shows creating your own pool, but since this question also shows that you are a begginer, start by mining by someone else.
