Litecoin mining software:

Now that we've taken a look at the hardware, now what? Well, it seems that you can start mining now, right? Therefore, focus on Litecoin mining software.

If your mining rig (hardware) is an ASIC, you will likely find mining software pre-installed on the device. However, if you are planning to mine Litecoin with a GPU (graphics card), you will have to find and install the necessary software yourself.

The first thing you should do is investigate the options available in the market depending on the hardware you have. Once you choose one, download and install it to start mining.

You can choose between a desktop version or a mobile version, the first being an application that you can download and use on your PC as well. Some software products are compatible with mobile use and are available for Android and iOS devices.

What should not be overlooked is that the mining software is what allows you to connect your wallet and your pool to receive the block reward. Therefore, when selecting one or the other option, make sure that you only download software from trusted and reputable providers or websites.
