burnside's Litecoin Pool (ltc.kattare.com) has updated.

Didn't want to compile on lucid, had to update my libminiupnpc-dev manually.

I added a new checkpoint to repel the potential 51% attack.
It is important for all pools and exchanges to use this new code.
For now, please grab the source and compile yourself. I will work on the binary release soon.

If I may ask, how will this work? Does the client prevent a rollback beyond the checkpoint?

If so, how will this work against the attack being moved to a later time? I realize this will incur additional cost on the attacker, but the next time the attacker may just not warn us, and what then?

(Given there is a real attack even, which I think unlikely but not impossible.)

I am thinking of how this checkpointing could be automated, but everything we do in this regard has the potential to fork the chain, having parts of the network stick to their version even though the majority is against it. Not good either.

Hello, got a problem with it:
An error occured while setting up the RPC port 9332 for listening: open: (and now it is in my native language so I will try to translate...) the address used is incompatible with the required protocol.
WTH? It worked before and I did not change anything. Just launched the new Litecoin-qt version...Sad

Edit: My local client doesn't seem to want to connect so I setup a server for you. I will pm you the details so you can add it manually to your litecoin.conf to be sure it connects.
Thanks for your help. The problems were related to the bugs in the IRC seed mode when machine is dual stacked (IPv4 & IPv6) like mine. I will just run with "-noirc" when on networks with IPv6.

I'm not sure if this bug is even worth fixing.

Thanks again.

I manually added my port forwarding entries just now to be sure it all works. If it doesn't work overnight I can setup a server with litecoind on testnet for you tomorrow. Just let me know if this is needed.

I've started up my local testnet litecoind. I will try to leave it running overnight. I can give you a copy of my testnet block index if that helps.
Thanks. I'll leave mine running too. Thus far they weren't able to connect, despite repeated attempts. On my end ports are forwarded correctly, maybe there was some glitch in the IRC peer discovery process.
