Litecoin - You don't need a supercomputer to mine some!

Actually, a supercomputer would still be more useful to mine LTC than to mine BTC (you just need a GPU).

True, but I was implying that the multi-GPU setups we see around here are basically little compact supercomputers in themselves.

Something like....?

"Litecoin, the Silver to Bitcoin's Gold. Find out more here: (org address)"

"Litecoins, A Lighter Version of Bitcoin! Find out more here: (org address)"

or ??

The Digitalis Open Transactions Server now supports LiTeCoin.

Thus LiTeCoin tokens (digiLiTeCoins aka dLTC) can now be traded there, exchanged for any of the other supported assets, used as the currency of choice for stocks and shares to be traded there and so on. That is, it can serve as a LiTeCoin stock-exchange as well as a LiTeCoin currency-exchange.

Currently though none of the companies being considered for stocks/shares to be traded on the exchange happen to be LiTeCoin based, but who knows, maybe that will change...

I find it interesting that the price of LTC is rising faster than BTC is falling. Are people using LTC to shelter their BTC profits while the bears have the BTC market in a downward trend?

Interesting stuff.

Perhaps: "Litecoin-- faster transactions, lower cost-- Bitcoin's perfect compliment"

There is another hot topic - multisig transactions for better wallet security.

What if litecoin implements BIP17 proposal? The bitcoin crowd seems to be slowly converging on BIP16.
There is a heated debate over here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bip-16-17-in-laymans-terms-61125

This might bring some life and interest back into litecoin and it will truly compliment bitcoin by selecting a competing solution.
I think I have posted about it here a few days ago, but nobody seemed to pay attention.

Coblee, what do you think?

Add a known node manually to the config file, then restart litecoin, this does the trick (sometimes). Once it started downloading you can then take out the node from the conf file.

How do I find a node?

Thanks

I find this alt-currency interesting out of all the others I've researched.

It does profess a major advantage over Bitcoin with speed of the transaction. (that is of a complimentary nature)

From a development standpoint cannot deny how far it has come from it's inception.

If one were to add one sentence line to promote Litecoins in Forum Signature, what would it be?

Something like....?

"Litecoin, the Silver to Bitcoin's Gold. Find out more here: (org address)"

"Litecoins, A Lighter Version of Bitcoin! Find out more here: (org address)"

or ??

Considering investing in Litecoins as a "late early" adopter.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your reply

> How many connections do you see?
The UI says 0 connection

> Do you firewall outgoing traffic?
I would assume so since bitcoin is working fine.
I have also verified that bitcoin and litecoin firewall rules are the same in the firewall windows ui.

>Why do you have block_nTime and block_nNonce in your config?
I saw that in a post somewhere and thought it might be why I was getting nowhere, but sadly it didn't do anything for that :/

Hi there,

started using litecoin yesterday and I am interested in it.

I am mining and it does work, but the gui stays at "Synchronizing with netowrk.... 0%".
I have tried playing with firewall rules in windows to no go, and removing all the files but wallet and then starting litecoin again and still no go...

I have received ltc from my mining pool, but the GUI won't show them, and since I don't know where litecoind is, I cannot query it

I have played with my litecoin.conf to no go, here is my current one:

testnet=0
server=1
rpcuser=miner
rpcpassword=litecoin
#gen=1
#rpcport=8337
#daemon=1

block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493

(I used to have different user/password but since there is no option in the gui for that, I thought maybe I need stock ones, but no go...).

Same issue on 2 computers, both running Win7.

Thanks

DVC has hardly even launched yet, they seem a little hasty there. DVC's own stock-commodity-and-currency exchange is still only in late-alpha testing stage, and asset contracts have not yet even be created for the various devcoin-based companies that will be traded on the exchange.

I can understand the problem though, I might not have included IXC and I0C in my exchange if I had waited a few more days before doing so, since it seemed that by the time I had told my bots about them and so on they were already dead or dying.

I have held back on all the others, including litecoin, since it is still hard to tell which are really in it for the long haul and which are just pump and dump crap that was never intended for any purpose other than being dumped as fast as possible.

FWIW, I pulled just north of 100Khash/S of processing power from Litecoin a couple weeks back. The value of LTC on BTC-E has been plummeting consistently, and it's finally driven home the point that it's really pointless to get seriously involved with altcoins. For now.

Feels like the project has run out of momentum.

Picked up a 7970 and added another 622MHash/S to my Bitcoin farm.

Was hoping Litecoin would be a serious "silver" to Bitcoin's "gold", but don't see that happening.

+1

Market depth is low, but LTC was one of the few alt's that made the cut on BTC-E. As of Jan 30, they're going to halt trading on GG, I0C, DVC, CLC, IXC, RUC.

So there's still hope.

By the way, what happened to lc.ozco.in?
I haven't been checking it for a week and have some coins there....
Does anybody now its IP address or the server is down?
