I tried mining some LTC and I got 100LTC from mining in 50 coin chunks. I do however have 4 transactions listed, so it seems like I have 2 transactions that didn't give me any coins. Is that normal? Why is it this way?

Those are (probably) orphans. They're hidden from the transaction view in the official client, but you'll see them if you activate the RPC server of the GUI client or start a daemon and run

Code:

listtransactions

So I almost had 50 extra LTC but was declared the loser. Oh well.

I have to say I am happy that Litecoin and all the alternative currency's are here. I have learned a ton about Bitcoin simply by hanging out in this section and reading all of your posts. I have begun to realize through intense philosophical and technical analysis that Bitcoin is truly king...

and litecoin is the queen?

No, Litecoin is a copy of Bitcoin with no "real" improvements.

EDIT: A third party service could (and probably will) replace LTC and all other Alt currency's, simply by allowing "instant" BTC payments, and some sort of fraud + BTC vault protection. Wink

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.

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.

Guilty until proven innocent, eh!

Well ... that's the law in France ... Tongue

and it's protected now because of a latest violation of RR3 (I know they don't have that rule, so edit war?).

however litecoin and solidcoin are the only cc`s on bitcoin wiki Wink

For those of you using the Litecoin p2pool, forrestv has released an update that will make things better. You must update before Dec. 2, or else your p2pool will not work properly. See this thread for more details: http://liteco.in/threads/130-kh-s-distributed-litecoin-pool-using-p2pool.29/

And if you have not tried p2pool yet, why not give it a try?

Ports forwarded (i think), only 8 active connections and syncronising to the network is has been at 1% for 20 mins?

Use this to check if the port is actually open in your router/firewall http://canyouseeme.org/

If you have less than 0.01 LTC in your wallet filled with transaction spam, I would suggest that you just throw that wallet away. Sending those coins will cost you more in fees and further bloat the chain.

Just one address with like 75k txes Grin

Thou, I have backup of wallet.dat before spam dusting so I think I can restore it, remove spam address (had just 1 LTC on it) and continue using wallet without a problem Cool

Can someone explain me how to remove keypairs from wallet.dat?
I need to remove one address . . .

seems like pywallet will do that. (You might need the private key to delete the address( (haven't tried). You can also use pywallet to get the private keys from your wallet.)

Is your wallet spammed?

How about a client with it's own wallet but no block chain and I set one node only which would be my own full client. Would something like this work? Would be great for people with a bunch of laptops or whatnot...

Electrum should be easy enough to change to support Litecoin. It uses Abe as its server db backend, and looking at the code I see that Abe should work with Litecoin out of the box. Bonus: deterministic wallet.
