Mining new private alt coin derived from litecoin I have created an new private altcoin from litecoin(build on linux ubuntu) and it is working correctly. Now i want install any miner application (like cgminer) with CPU mining(for test). I have installed cgminer (Older version which support CPU mining) but miner not running and it always showing "No server could found exiting". Also i am confused with following doubts,


Can we mine coins with single node(Its my own private coin and it is installed only my pc)?
cgminer showing scrypt disabled(because its need OpenCL). Is scrypt only work with GPU?


Thanks In Advance,

I'm not the most familiar with altcoins, but...


Yes, I'm pretty sure you can. Because basically you're mining blocks using the info from your node, so I don't see any harm. I've never tested this, because i'm too lazy and I don't see a point in making my own altcoin. So don't quote me on this.
Scrypt doesn't require OpenCL. If i'm not mistaken, OpenCL is mainly used to allow GPUs to mine.
