Creator of Litecoin. Cryptocurrency enthusiast.
Where is Coblee? Just check his profile and you will see he is all over this forum, just not intersted in LTC apparently!  Sad Why don't you send him a PM? I did... And I have not seen him write anything to #litecoin on IRC for months, have you?

It's true that I'm not spending a lot of time developing Litecoin, but I'm still here. I'm trying to see if I can get the github.com/litecoin repository and refork the current bitcoin code and patch in the litecoin changes.
Fordy has been helping me a lot with submitting patches, but there's not much interest from developers in working on Litecoin. If you are interested in helping out, let me know. I definitely need help reforking, patching, and testing the new code.

Not a lot of people have been paying attention to LTC lately, however as the price continues to go down the hash rate has paradoxically been increasing over the past week.  I'm kind of wondering if LTC is hitting the floor of its "dead cat bounce".

LOL! Is that your feeble attempt at "social engineering"?  Roll Eyes

Not a lot of people have been paying attention to LTC lately...
How do you know? There are probably million pasty faced fat fucks, in front of they monitors right now, dreaming about the next get-rich-quick scheme, involving LTC or BTC. Or maybe not.... Smiley

Where is Coblee? If he is on vacation, who is taking over the litecoin development?

Hmm, alright so I have exactly this in my litecoin.config file:

Code:
cat .litecoin/litecoin.conf
rpcuser=miners
rpcpassword=litecoin
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0

block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493

and exactly this in my reaper config:

Code:
host 127.0.0.1
port 9332
user miners
pass litecoin


protocol litecoin

worksize 256
aggression 17.5
threads_per_gpu 1
sharethreads 18
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 6144

Still not working... did I do something wrong?

Code:
rpcallowip=*

I think it's safer to restrict access to local machines only, with something like
Code:
rpcallowip=192.168.1.*

cf. All my fairbrix just went somewhere by themselves.....WTF! and Is the password really that important when mining from the local client?

Quick question, could someone help me set up solomining? I have litecoin downloaded and working (with around a 47 LTC balance I got from pool mining). I have had no trouble pool mining, but I set the litecoin.conf just like this:

testnet=0
server=1
rpcuser=miner
rpcpassword=litecoin

block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493

#gen=0

#Change this if you want to use a different rpc port for mining
#rpcport=9332

#Only uncomment this if you are running litecoind (not Litecoin QT)
#daemon=1

and I am using the following settings in ScryptMiner (with a GUI frontend):

Threads: 4 (I have a i5-2500k) Scantime: 5
RPG Server: 1 (also tried server and localhost)
Username: miner
Password: litecoin
Port: 9332


Could someone point out if I am doing something wrong? thanks!

Here is what I used when I mined it I think your problem is the rpcallowip missing. And now I look more at it more no rpcport set although I think it might default to the 9332 never hurts to specify though and the daemon=1 is not set.

Code:

cat .litecoin/litecoin.conf
rpcuser=miners
rpcpassword=litecoin
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0

block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493

A possible use for litecoins is to use them in lieu of bitcoins for educational purposes....

My kids were asking me about Bitcoin today, and after explaining the basics to them, it occurred to me that when the bitcoin adoption becomes more widespread, one of litecoin's uses could be to help teach children about bitcoins and p2p currencies without worrying about them making too many costly mistakes with bitcoins. Real wallets, real transactions, but negligible cost.


It may be a while before this idea is relevant, but assuming bitcoin becomes ubiquitous, educating children will be necessary.

Also related thread without solution : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-client-problem-55105

Still have no solution for this Cry

What can I do ? How to compile from source on Mac OS X 10.5.8 Huh

Grow a brain and figure it out yourself.

Know the only thing I did not figure out so far ?

WHY YOU ARE NOT BANNED for all your offtopic and 0 content posts.

I could ask you the same question TIMES 10. Look at the color of your ignore button. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES OVER ANYTHING I POST LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it seems that my 6950 got something weird with texture buffer, they are blinking time to time. 5850 and 5830 are fine, i mined with gpu for over a week or two. It probably if hardware bug which showed up at high load.
Even thou 6950 is still mining and is stable. But blinking textures ruin the game comfort.

To GPU miners of LTC. Has it been confirmed somewhere that Reaper can destroy the memory(VRAM etc) from overheating?

I have mined and bought few LTC and now I like to spend it. Any links to web shops, that accept LTC?
I do not care for gambling or pr0n.

In terms of if LTC will be a success or not I wouldn't count LTC out yet. When bitcoin was 7 months old there was little discussion and support for bitcoin as well.

Perhaps we all can see where LTC is in say 3 years.

Spoon feeding - zero confirm transactions.
Try reading the thread again.

Try not being vague. "Oh I was talking about this, now I mean this!"

...
No, I was talking about both.
That's why I said to read the thread.
There is quite a bit of discussion by others about different time lengths for confirms and zero confirms.
Also the issue of variance for confirms of amounts considered outside the range of zero confirms ... etc. ... etc. ...
Meh.

You may see no difference between an average 10 minutes and an average 50 minutes, but I can GUARANTEE that more than 90% of people would see the difference.

More unsubstantiated talk.

Zero confirm transactions are no safer under Litecoin than Bitcoin. Because here is the reality: to easily and successfully pull off double spends in a retail environment, multiple people will use the same coins in different places at the same time. AFAIK both bitcoin and litecoin clients will not transmit "double spend attempts", therefore it is unlikely that a merchant will ever see a double spend to know that this is happening. This attack is far, far easier than any other, and any 13-year old script kiddie can figure it out. In 2 minutes your customer is out the door and out of your reach.

I am not a probability expert, but I would like to see some actual math to back that up. It may be true, but it's still irrelevant to the discussion about transaction times.
