There are rumors of people GPU mining litecoins with fairly decent results. But they're keeping the miner under wraps  Huh

RUMORS?!?! AhaHaHaHaHAH!! Come on...

LOL you both need to fix your quoting I only said one line in all that:

Lucky that crypto's don't all charge any fees ... oh hang on Smiley

... As soon as a bank charges a fee (even a small one like I get charged) it's suddenly a greedy bank ... so I guess ALL exchanges are greedy also since they charge more than my bank transfer costs? ...
Yes many banks are greedy and many charge ridiculous fees, but, well, find a way around it Smiley

This is getting way off topic but for start, read this:
http://truecostofcredit.com/558231 and  http://credit-card-processing-review.toptenreviews.com/v2/

If LTC can do it for <0.0N LTC flat ... sounds like a good deal to me.
Now, if we can build LTC "marketing" based on hard facts like numbers - how Panucci's Pizza can save 5K USD in transaction fees per year - then people get curious and start adapting LTC for real life use.
If Mr Panucci can buy flour for LTC, he has no need to go and feed the exchange or the bank.

LTC has 2 enemies at the moment:

1) unstable price
2) nonexisting real life use

BTC is no better but I like to buy coffee for BTC from http://bitbrew.net/  Smiley
Hopefully they start accepting LTC soon.

If you really give shit about LTC, find a way how to spend it (exchange for goods and services) or convince your favourite shop keeper to accept it as a way to transfer funds.



Eskimo, we need your ideas in the Litecoin Development thread as well:

I don't understand why you'd waste valuable GPU bandwidth to mine Litecoins, if Bitcoins yield more profit.

Rumors with absolutely no proof, and the rumor-spreader will personally benefit from decreased trust in Litecoin..  hmmmm...... :rolleyes:

Would anyone be interested in a LiteJack21 Blackjack service?
Sure, why not?  You should be able to reuse most of the code from the other 2 sites, no?

LTCs are a bargain right now considering they're trading for less than what it costs to mine them... at least for my system anyway.  Sometimes I wish I still worked in a computer lab with access to a few dozen desktop machines.

@EskimoBob: Click below.  I'm accepting it.  It seems much more friendly to merchants than BTC.  BTC is treated like gold as if ever one is going to be a ghetto fabulous quazillionaire if they get just one coin.

Maybe litecoin will be fucked beyond all recognition from speculation 12 months from now but it seems to be starting off on the right foot.

Well I got it working sort of.

Now, when it finished loading shares, it gives a never-ending stream of exceptions.ZeroDivisionError errors.

EDIT:
Deleted contents of data/litecoin/, let's see if it works now. Yep, it seems to work now.

p2pool doesn't seem to be connecting to any peers. I've gotten it working with Bitcoin though.

I put 200kH to Litecoin P2Pool and it is working like a charm...

For Litecoin subsidy to P2Pool miners, the port should be 9327!

Guys,

 I have some questions:


 1 Where can I find the blocks mined by Litecoin P2Pool?


 2 Why the function "connect=IP" at ~/.litecoin/litecoin.conf does now download the blockchain from my Litecoin "master node" (both at the same subnet/mask)? I can see 1 connection @ getconnectioncount but, the getblockcount stops increasing (or never leaves 0 if I start a fresh Litecoin with connect=X from the beginning).


 3 How can I donate some Litecoins to the P2Pool miners? Just like this:

 Additional subsidy for P2Pool users: 1-3btc/day
 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/additional-subsidy-for-p2pool-users-1-3btcday-57027

 So, I would like to do something like: "Additional subsidy for Litecoin P2Pool users: 100~500 LTC/day"

 But how?!


Cheers!
Thiago

litecoind sendmany "" "$(GET http://127.0.0.1:9333/patron_sendmany?total=AMOUNTHERE)"

That should work for p2pool donations when you have p2pool running.

You sure that the P2Pool @ 9333 port is for Litecoin?

When I exchange BTC to AUD on TradeHill and then transfer it to my bank account in Aus the bank transfer (0.5%) is the cheaper part, the TradeHill exchange charge is slightly more expensive (0.54%) but many BTC exchanges charge more than that also

But the point is that there are fees in BTC transactions and most people pay them without a care ... coz it's not a bank ...

As soon as a bank charges a fee (even a small one like I get charged) it's suddenly a greedy bank ... so I guess ALL exchanges are greedy also since they charge more than my bank transfer costs? ...

I still think that all *coins so far have fucked up their PR by talking about "currency" instead of marketing BTC and others as a means of transferring funds - secure, fast and cheap.
What I am trying to say is *coins are not cryprocurrencies, but more like "cryptotransfers" with out the greedy bankers.
Keep presenting *coins as currency to general public and merchants and they will keep ignoring it.

You obviously have no idea what fees banks take from merchants for processing CC and DC payments. ... oh hang on... ignorance is bliss.

I just checked a website to exchange 100 LRUSD to WU.
They say i have to pay 10 LRUSD to the site for transaction & 30 LRUSD to WU, & I will receive 60 LRUSD in hand.
For 100 LRUSD to receive from internet to hand is 40% fees.

Bitcoin to Bitcoin/ alternate currencies transfer charge is 0.005 only
