    Hi buff,

    Well first you need to download and install the wallet and after that you have to find and register in a pool, of course you can do solo mining but the current difficulty, I wouldn't recommend it.

    Then you need a mining software and it will depend on what GPU you are going with, AMD cards interestingly enough bring more to the table in mining, but here is a link to a list of mining software: https://litecoin.info/Mining_software

    When I did my mining I used this: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=2924.0

    And remember that Litecoin is based on Scrypt and Bitcoin on SHA264, so if have purchased these USB ASICs they will only work with mining Bitcoin if not specified differently.

    Hope this puts on the right path and good luck with the mining!

    Cheers

    Boris :)
