Topic: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched! - page 329. (Read 1467253 times)

can someone please explain this vunerability a bit more clearly... what can we do to prevent any bad goings on

Only one who refers to me as "Pukanula" is BCX so are you BCX

I can't see what you are saying Pukanula.
I ignore scammers.

That this will be the death of litecoin if not fixed

 

What else did he say?

0.01 LTC

Speaking of that, what is the recommended transaction fee to be included in a LTC block?

Oh and in case anyone actually cares about their LTC ...

Luke-jr has stated in IRC that he is considering exploiting CVE-2012-2459 on Litecoin after the fix in bitcoind 0.6.2 is public

I've been solo mining for months. But never seen anything like this before.
Found a block and got 120.07 LTC

You could also send me a personal message or contact me on Freenode, if you prefer.

Hi I would appreciate if some little features could be implimented into the litecoinpool site, is there anyone here who could possibly take these from me?

Here you go:

Radeon HD6450 - 25KH/s
Radeon HD6570 - 70KH/s
Radeon HD6670 - 100KH/s
Radeon HD6750 - 150KH/s
Radeon HD6770 - 190KH/s

BCX whatever happened to this?

Crazy rabbit,

Really it depends on the amount you want to spend as well as what you are doing with the hardware afterwards. It is good that you are mining to help increase the popularity! The 6xxx series is obviously going to give the best KH overall, but depending on what you can get these for (new or used) and how much hashing power you get per $ + power usage your decision may be swayed. I personally love the 5xxx namely the 5870 cards as Ive used these for a year and I love them and wouldnt change them, resale value is fairly good too. I went to overclockers.com and brought 20 at a discounted price of £115.00 which was £35.00 cheaper than retail when I brought them as I had loads.

The other factors include supplementary hardware. By this I mean having motherboards with multiple pci-e slots, I had to spend over £130 last year on corsair IV extreme boards, I run these with amd processors (namely athlon dual core with core unlock enabled on the boards) as these were some of the cheapest quad enabled boards I could get at the time. Also you will need adequate ram and processor speed to make sure you dont bottleneck and that your cards get work diverted quickly and hassle free. I also had to buy PCI'e extenders from cablesaurus so I could achieve lower temps by hanging my cards. I recommend linux over windows as this saves you on harddrive and also I believe you get a couple extra hash when running without a gui on command line. You will have to get a recompiled version of reaper in order to gpu mine on linux, but thats available via other people who have made changes to it.

The other thing is that theres always more to learn in this game. Ive been doing this for over a year with bitcoin, namecoin and litecoin, and everytime I start mining something new, hardware runs differently with different mining currencies and also tweaks are always about. Just from these two last pages on this forum topic I have upped my speeds from just under 300kh per 5870 to more like 400 kh now (stable). I could get over this but cards always topped out after a few hours

Invest in multiple 120mm fans and a larger oscillating fan in order to create a lower ambient temp.

Yes, although I was hoping maybe to find some people who have cards other then those listed. For example the place I buy in the Czech Republic carries cards starting with the 6450 models, and some are really affordable. So I was curious   about the following numbers, if anyone personally has experience with them.

Radeon HD6450
Radeon HD6570
Radeon HD6670
Radeon HD6750
Radeon HD6770

I'm considering buying some Video cards just to mine Litecoin.

I know people think my money is better spent just purchasing Litecoin, but I'm a supporter and I want to improve the network and also invest in it.

Is there any consensus about if I am purchasing a new gpu card to mine, what card offers the best performance to cost ratio?

cheers!

Anyone having problems with Litecoin-qt connecting to a few (or no) peers but not downloading any more blocks after a litecoin-qt.exe process restart (closing the process and reopening the program)? If I delete the blockchain and blockindex file in AppData\Roaming\Litecoin then it redownloads the blockchain and works normally again. (Using Litecoin-qt 0.5.0.9 beta on Windows 7)

It depends what you are mining with.
69XX cards don't lose much performance when you downclock you memory.
Make sure your GPU clock is not higher than 899Mhz.
5XXX cards do lose performance when you downclock your memory, since the bandwidth is not as good as on 69XX cards.

Koolio,

I said that very clearly. 900Mhz is the hard limit. You cannot change that. You can flash, bang, shoot, throw out the window and do voodoo, it wont help.
You get the best performance out of your cards when running as close to the hard limit as possible.
You cannot set your memory to 1299 cause its simply not overclocking very well. I took 10 new cards out of the boxes last month, I'd say 6-7 cards are running well at high mem. speeds.
There's always few bad apples...

Oh and finding less blocks... Bad luck I guess. I use to get 17 blocks at 500Kh/s.
Sometimes it only finds 3 blocks/day. Which makes me want to go from solo to pool mining. But then again, next morning it finds 11 blocks in 3 hours running solo.
