Hi, recently I formatted my puter after making a backup of my litecoin wallet (which contained a few litecoins). Now that I reinstalled everything and put my wallet where the litecoin client use to keep it ( C:\Documents and Settings\current user\Application Data\Litecoin ), the wallet is empty according the client (v.0.5.0.8 ). Moreover, even the receiving address I used to receive my litecoins has not been saved in the wallet according the client.
Am I phucked? And why?

Thanks! I got everything set up and I'm mining at Coinotron at around 30KH/s with 6 threads!!!
I would think you would want to use 6 threads which should each get about 3 khash each for a total of about 20 khash. Are you rrunning 64 bit? B/c the new minerd that pooler just released is what I'm getting my rates from.
Yeah I'm running the new minerd that Pooler posted, but I'm only getting around 7.4 KH/s (I just copied the contents of the Windows binary into my Litecoin directory). But I'm not really running any parameters or anything. All i'm doing is running the litecoin-qt.exe (or whatever its called) and pressing the "Mine" button. Do I have to set up any config files or anything like that?
I think I mentioned this in another thread, but for completeness:
I'm running .bat file that I got from someone. When I put it in the same director as the three files from pooler's miner, then I have to put in 4 settings:
1) the pool website I'm mining with (I mine with a pool, cuz I haven't conquered my fear of solo mining yet)
2) the miner username & password
3) hit enter, I don't even know what the 3rd setting really does
4) enter the number of threads.
I currently use 2 on my duo core intel and get 3.5 khash/s per core for my laptop using the 32 bit miner.
And I use 2 threads on my mining desktop which has an AMD Phenom quad core. I only use 2 threads on 2 cores, b/c I like to keep 1 core dedicated to each GPU and my desktop has a Radeon 5970, so 2 GPU's.
I have a mining rig with two 5970's in it right now and a quad core processor, and I don't mess with CPU mining on that just yet. It's actually my friend's borrowed rig, which is why I leave the CPU chains for my desktop and my laptop.
I have heard that the 1 core per GPU may not be necessary if "updated" drivers and such are used, but I haven't had time to fully look into this.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

yes, it seems that litecoind can not connect to the network.
the problem is gone when I launch litecoind with -addnode option: litecoind -addnode=190.72.102.xxx
then everything goes fine.
it seems IRC connection is banned in that network.
Hey how many threads should I use? I have a 6-core AMD Phenom II and I'm getting the same KH/s whether I use 2 threads or 6. Does it make a diff?

Are you still seeing the no blocks that is in that getinfo you posted as you need the blockchain to be able to hash should be block 60758 at this time according to my daemon, never noticed that the first time...
yes, it seems that litecoind can not connect to the network.
when compiling litecoind, it complains:"/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread"
I checked /usr/lib64, there's a file named "libboost_thread-mt.so.5", I made a link by executing:
Code:
ln -s libboost_thread-mt.so.5 libboost_thread.so
the complain was gone. but I wonder if this is the reason of the problem. Yes use actual IP of the machine eg. http://192.168.0.1:9332 in the connect URL.
I tried, the problem is still there.
I managed to compile litecoind on my centos6.2 box. after installing openssl-1.0e from source, and compiling miniupnc1.6, I successfully got an excutable litecoind, and I run it successful as a daemon. However, it seems that there's no connections, and can not link to the network.(the output of "litecoind getblockcount" and "litecoind getconnectioncount" are all 0). my litecoin.conf file in ~/.litecoin:
the output of "litecoind getinfo":
I can connect to 9332 port(telnet localhost 9332, there's a response says".....Escape char is..."), but when I start a miner point to localhost:9332, it says "HTTP request failed: The requested URL returned error: 500"
any ideas about the problem? thanks!

I'm giving away a limited supply of acrylic litecoins for free (well postage only):

Please post there if you want one.

New build of ScryptMiner-GUI out with additional parameters field and compatibility with the new, optimized miner by pooler :
http://www.mediafire.com/?uem5s5bpj0ke1ed
The new miner comes with the new version of the GUI and since the mining portion of the miner has been rewritten in Assembly, specific CPU-architecture optimized builds are no longer needed.

I don't know if this has already been brought up or not, but..

Yeah, I talked to genjix about it, he dodged my question conveniently.Quote
Pyramid scheme
Since the aforementioned reasons mean Litecoin has no future potential, it effectively functions as a pyramid scheme, rewarding those who get in sooner at the expense of those who adopt it just before it finally fails (and are left with nothing). This is not the case for Bitcoin, since it has significant potential to become a long-term currency and continually be beneficial to adopters no matter when they begin using it.

Without proper citation, a statement like "a malicious entity needs only produce a single piece of specialized/custom hardware to overtake all the commodity mining systems combined" has absolutely no place in a wiki.

Bleh, that wiki page is garbage. It's written worse than a tabloid article.
Remember to spread the word about litecoin, the more users we have, the more services we have, = a much better future for it.
Been about 3 weeks, mined around 400 LTC so far from pool-x Plus I've started a great litecoin service which should encourage new users to at least try it out, LTC InstaWallet

In case people haven't seen, pooler worked on an optimized version of minerd that is up to twice as fast as the previous fastest miner!

Does your .conf have gen=1 in it?
Can you please make the litecoin client NOT START MINING? At least make an option to turn it off. It makes loading the program way too slow.
It doesn't.

I somehow seem to stumble upon a weird problem with the use of p2pool and the 5.0.4 litecoind.exe
Even though payouts are being done to the assgined adresses you can not see them.
I tried litecoind getbalance over a long period of time but it does not matter how long it runs they simply stay the same. i have to close the deamon and start the gui to see that payements has come in
At first i thought its the p2pool but i start to think its a bug in litecoind

its looking good and looks like its staying up there ... allchains reporting a estimated change of only -7% so still +0.9 diff in two days time hopefually +1
