So one guy has at least 50% of litecoins mining/? crazy

Is that so?

I only heard that theory from Coinhunter and i wouldnt believe him right away if he claimed the heaven was blue or rain being wet..
That BigCPUMiner guy has a nice chunk but thats nothing like 50% of the networking power from my estimates...

But nice to see that no Solidcoin fanboy wants to bet against us. Easy money to be made guys..

You want me to prove that this address belongs to me?

http://blockexplorer.sytes.net/address/LSQAz3zmxfKAEPZJd9693Udrg19gEidHs8

If you use the command line client you can prove it by signing a message using that address:

Code:

$ litecoind signmessage LSQAz3zmxfKAEPZJd9693Udrg19gEidHs8 "Yes, it's really me"

Show the result of that here. People can verify with:

Code:

$ litecoind verifymessage LSQAz3zmxfKAEPZJd9693Udrg19gEidHs8 [result from above] "Yes, it's really me"

You can count my original 10 BTC here, in favor of Litecoin.

Considering the cost of a 51% attack, I doubt our bets will significantly influence its likelihood. This is just to clearly illustrate to his followers that CoinHunter is full of BS.

Your BTC will stay with you as I don't see any reason to do attack. I am nor a bank neither a government

I prefer just mining.

What sort of hashing power would be needed to do a 51% attack?

I have it but I will not do 51 attack.

Prove it.

At the current network speed of 30mh/s, you would need about 1,500 good cpus to start a 51% attack. However I think the original concept was that a very large "dark" pool *may* already have the capacity to 51% the network.

As an interesting note, there is over 100K of LTC for sale in one order over at BTC-e right now. Till someone feels like buying all of that up, the price won't be getting higher then 0.00556. Interesting to see someone controlling the price like that.

Will be nice to have LTC prices stable for at least a little while so people can focus on something more productive then trading. :-)

I guess I spoke to soon, it's already gone.

I oppose litecoin with a bet of 1e-8 BTC, and I support litecoin with a bet of 1e-8 BTC.

(i.e. 1e-8 is one base unit)

Thanks.

I assume you are "SolidCoinPorn" over at the SolidCoin forums. If so, I have 60SC waiting for you from the mooncoin refund, I just need you to return to the SC forums and PM me, or post a refund address in the mooncoin deposit thread.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease Cheesy

I will PM an address when I get to the comp I have my wallet on. That is one less issue I now have with Solidcoin, was the handling of these refunds. I can understand since then though, the client has gone through changes and what not, anyways, thanks.
