Topic: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched! - page 372. (Read 1467485 times)
Now I need to figure out how to read litecoin.conf, or alternatively, how to get RPC port, username, password and port after the application has launched.
Just spent the last couple hours incorporating Matoking's ScryptMiner minerd GUI with the Litecoin client.
It's a new mining tab that let's you start/stop/configure minerd to run against any pool.
You need to make sure that the minerd executable and libraries are in the same directory as the Litecoin-QT application.
Let me know what you guys think. And thanks to Matoking for creating the original GUI.

(also you didn't remove mining from options)How about if I put it at the right most tab? Would that be just as good as having an option to hide it?
I will work on combining the mining from options with this mining tab.
I don't mine with the client (user minerd.exe on several machines connected to a pool) so the button is 'useless' to me. 
I do not think I am fully appreciating the idea behind the p2ppool. Please forgive my ignorant understanding of all this before reading my post, be kind. If the client starts and that pool is just going in every client, that would just be the smart way to replace not only solo mining, but pool'ed mining all together? If it would work how I think it would work, I think it sounds like something that should be built in to every single digital currency client that needs mining to generate. I feel like I am missing something about this type of mining though, as it does seem like it would be able to take out pools completely, or at the least give all individuals the best chance of solo mining from the default client possible.
I haven't figured out a good way to present these 2 different mining options together without confusing the user.
Dropdown with "Pool" and "Solo" options, with a URL input for the pool getting disabled when solo is selected?
Has any progress been made with a possible JS miner for LTC?
I'm toying with the idea of making a game based around it, if a miner that can run from a browser can be found (basically players mine while playing, rewards are distributed as loot. You can add funds to buy items, or just play and withdraw). Not going to worry about it though, unless the miner's ready...
I looked at a couple of the BTC JS miners, but to be honest I'm not sure what I'd have to change to make it work with LTC.

I can't search this thread so I guess I have to ask - linux binary miner?

(got trouble with ./configure: line 4759: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.10.1, ,'), losing patient to be honest after fixing aclocal)
Here's how I fixed it:
1) download libcurl.m4, for example from https://raw.github.com/igetgames/pushpool/a9650e27e32926d6b0a6134a6104c97cdfcd0000/m4/libcurl.m4
2) put libcurl.m4 for example in ~/.share/aclocal
3) change cpuminer's autogen.sh aclocal line to: aclocal -I ~/.share/aclocal
4) ./autogen.sh ; ./configure ; make
http://bit.ly/litecoin fan page is up! I haven't decided on what text I will use, it might just remain what is there for now. I will add more links along the right hand side, maybe pools and the Wiki.
The link shows up on http://weusecoins.com on the twitter feed on the right hand side right now lol

autogen.sh can't find the necessary libcurl autoconf magic to build your configure script. Thus, instead of transforming the macro LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG into something useful, it's left as-is.
Your libcurl install probably screwed up, or autogen just can't find it.

Thanks. Fixed with
Code:
#apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
Now if I run
Code:
./litecoind -gen=0 -nolisten -daemon -rpcport=8332
And test by connecting with
Code:
nc 127.0.0.1 8332
I find that litecoin isn't listening for the miner to connect to.
Sorry to bumpa thread just for this!
Fantastic upgrade.
*edit - I notice that if I run my mouse over the hammers while I am mining, the client tells me that I am not mining. Small bug I'm sure.

No. I am mining in the client and it says not mining.

A little off topic, but why is TerryTibbs labeled as a scammer? He seems like a good contributing member from the posts he's made.
is there a blockexplorer for litecoin yet?

P2Pool will make the client a fully self-sustained ecosystem. I can't wait.
Yes, my ultimate goal is to have people start the client (or daemon) and p2pool will automatically start in the background and the client will be mining away. And as blocks are found, they will see their balance increase by a few litecents every few minutes. For those who want to muck around with minerd, they can compile their own optimized minerd and point that to p2pool using the GUI I have now. And for those who still want to use traditional pools, they can do that too.
Oh neat, I never thought of combining p2pool into the client. Good stuff!
