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.

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.

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.

Testnet is pretty dead. When I was developing for Litecoin I had to run two daemons and a miner just to get some activity going. If you have a AMD gpu using reaper or cgminer will greatly help you. If you need some testnet coins let me know I have a bunch lying around.
Thanks for the offer, but I don't really need coins. I was really interested in a low-difficulty mining of testnet Litecoins on FPGAs.

Do you know if the recent changes in Litecoin started a 3rd testnet?

I see a new "testnet3" directory under "Litecoin". Is this a moral equivalent of the 3rd Bitcoin testnet with a new difficulty calculation algorithm?

Edit: What I'm actually looking for is for somebody to serve the existing testned blockchain. I'm fine with mining on as-needed basis.

Thanks in advance for anyone who could serve the testnet blocks.

What is the current status of Litecoin's testnet? How many blocks in the chain? I'm away from my normal computer and just redownloaded the Litecoin executable to start my tests afresh.

In most places, i see bitcoin logo, instead of litecoin.

When you run setup.exe, it shows the bitcoin logo. That will be fixed. Where else are you seeing the bitcoin logo?

Setup fixed with Litecoin graphics: https://github.com/downloads/litecoin-project/litecoin/litecoin-0.6.3b-win32-setup.exe

Balances aren't updating, I just sent 45 coins and it was completed but it still list 45 coins in my wallet.

I am getting this error when try to run new litecoin client.
Re installing allows litecoin to load with out problems & after shutdown it shows the same error again & reinstalling is the only option.




EDIT: Windows 7, 64 bit OS

I'm getting the same error and re-installing lets it run again too.  Win 7, x64 using the 32bit binaries posted above.

Announcement!

Now that we have a couple more Litecoin developers, I figure we should move away from hosting the source under my username. So I'm announcing a new location for the Litecoin project: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin

With the help from pooler and Fanquake, I rebranched from the latest bitcoin code and ported the Litecoin changes over. The new code will have all the recent Bitcoin fixes. Please help us test it out. If you are on Linux, just grab the source and build it yourself. We are currently working on creating a Windows binary. Stay tuned.

This means that the wiki has been moved to the new repo also: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki
litecoin.info will point to the new wiki location very soon.

New clients are here!
Windows (zip): https://github.com/downloads/litecoin-project/litecoin/litecoin-0.6.3-win32.zip
Windows (exe): https://github.com/downloads/litecoin-project/litecoin/litecoin-0.6.3-win32-setup.exe
Linux (tgz, 32/64-bit): https://github.com/downloads/litecoin-project/litecoin/litecoin-0.6.3-linux.tar.gz

Mac OS X: https://github.com/downloads/litecoin-project/litecoin/litecoin-0.6.3-macosx.dmg

Hi!

 Can we work to bring Litecoin binaries do Ubuntu, using Ubuntu PPA repositories?

 Just like Bitcoin PPA?

Thanks!

There is still no official Windows distribution of the latest version of Litecoin, but one will be released soon.


Thank you. I will stay tuned
