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?

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:

Code:

server=1
rpcuser=test
rpcpassword=xxx

rpcallowip=*
gen=0
rpcport=9332
daemon=1

block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493

the output of "litecoind getinfo":

Code:

{
"version" : 50100,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 0,
"connections" : 0,
"proxy" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"difficulty" : 0.00024414,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"networkhashps" : -2147483648,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1325574428,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"mininput" : 0.00010000,
"errors" : ""
}

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!

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..

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.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Litecoin Cheesy

Yeah, I talked to genjix about it, he dodged my question conveniently.
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 Cheesy

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!

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.

Lazy Lurker Reads Alot

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

Orphans are actually common when solo mining the alt chains.
If I use "listtransaction * 20000" (I did early solo mining but also received a lot of LTC dust so I need a large number there ...)
I see a lot of orphans ... specifically ... 90 of them Tongue

(and 99 generate)
