I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. Now I can't run litecoin

Also I can't comile:

src/headers.h:36:20: fatal error: db_cxx.h: No such file or directory

How do I make this work?

Hmm, thanx for the warning.
Wish I could help...

I got this to compile and run under Ubuntu 11.10:

First load:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++

Then in the file litecoin-qt.pro change 4.8 to 5.1. Now as I'm typing this I see that the 4.8 is in a comment line so it should not have any effect. Yet this is what I did and it worked so I'm passing it on.

Then type:

Code:

qmake
make

I know lol. I'm asking how much time does it takes, as I'm confused with the difficulty and hashes of this coin.

1Kh/s gives you 16.093LTC/24h.

Hey, with 5.5kHash/sec when am I going to get a block approximately?

Depends on the difficulty.

Isn't the name of Steve Jobs in the code enough! Now there is going to be a cpuminer in quicktime before Windows users get anything just because underneath it all, it really is unix! Operating system racists! Angry

I've thought about making a simple GUI for the cpuminer using Qt, let's see if I'll get anywhere.

All look like cheap pieces of plastic but the one on the left (probably because it doesn't reflect any light).
You need to give it a more heterogeneous texture to make it clear that it is silver.
Also, I undertand the desire to make it look "lite", but the font you chose makes it look more like a supermarket cart token.
Not sure that is the image we are wanting to give.

The coin doesn't need to be slender and simple to look "light".
Actually, it doesn't even really need to look light.
Silver is less dense than gold, that should be enough of a representation of the concept behind

I would prefer a heavy and respectable looking plain silver coin.

Progress on the logo, after messing several hours with freetype_py to get the ubuntu font in I gave up and made it on my gentoo laptop, and finished the openscad script (I know I could have done it straight in povray but I'm not too prominent in that, that will follow later but we can have actual 3d printed litecoins with openscad

)

They are modeled after one of my silver philharmonics, with the dimensions and margins identical.

At first should the letter L be smaller? bigger?

Then I played with different silver materials these turned out to look the best so far, but I'm unsure on what should be chosen finally.
So...

Which litecoin would you choose? Grin

(Don't mind the lightning, just judge the colors this is just a test scene the actual logo will have custom lightning to correspond to other coin logos already there so the profile will be visible independent of the texture)
So how shiny and bright do you want your litecoin?
Any other suggestions welcome

My personal favorite is the one to the far left. They're all pretty nice though.

My preference is the 3rd from left, the front one.

thanks, I will try in the mean time to meet the tone, if there are no objections.
lets see what lightning will do.

I also have a relief (no effect, the real deal since it is 3d modeled and raytraced) in the hands in case the structure isn't visible enough.
Ironically RealSolid attempted this for his logo and while he botched it, here is very subtle and already looks awesome. Cool

Update real quick on the pool guys:

The pool is working.

It works very well, yes, but I'm observing quite a few of blocks found with bery few shares (1-3 or less than 10), which are producing 0LTC. How's that possible? Who's getting those? Thank you.

Fire up those LTC Miners, Cryptoxchange.com will open with a BTC/NMC and LTC exchange with 140 outbound currencies. The merged mined BTC/NMC and LTC are the only traded crypto-currencies. Solidcoin was rejected for the same issues we all have with it.

FBX?

Yes, since I started on your pool (just a few hours ago), I've already mined ~20 LTC.

This is after only one block solo mining for ~24hrs

Great pool!

PM your LTC address and username and I'll send you back the pools 5%. A failing beta version doesn't deserve it ATM.

Failing? Looks like success from here. Props for the legwork on getting the pool running. My measly 6 cores (Goldie) don't eve show up now, but no worries. Vultures gonna eat every time, so get your cut, and keep my 5%.

Old quote son. I've got a pool thread over here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48192.20 For those first blocks, I'll still refund the 5%. It is working good now. Hop back over and check it out now. We have have over an 1/6th of the network on the pool.

Same for me here, Litecoin runs great in some machines and totally cannot be connected in others even though the ports were opened. I seemed to have seen from a forumer that he added some nodes but still trying to find out the correct way. It is wasted that some can mine while others remain idle because of the weird connection issue.

Quote from: Matoking on October 14, 2011, 09:24:09 AM

I tried to port forward the ports 9332 and 9333 through the ZyXel router, but since it has a limit of ten port forwarding settings for some reason, I tried to delete one and instead of deleting it, it gives an error. Installed a firmware that's three years newer, and instead of fixing the problem it introduces yet another issue. At this point I got a glorious message informing me I found a block and yet, after 5 minutes, I got nothing.

Yeah, this sucks. Tongue

I hope to have this solved in my fork of Litecoin. I fixed the pre-seed lists. If you'd like, you can grab it from my repository here: https://github.com/terrytibbs/litecoin

But then again, I'm a SCAMMER, so you might just want to wait for coblee to approve my pull request.

Considering the scammer tag is handed out here almost as often as paypal freezes funds (and for equally loose reasoning) I personally don't put much stock in it.

Firstly, if you wish to continue this discussion, do it here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/spotify-premium-scammer-terrytibbs-47551
or in one of the related threads on the subject.

However, since you both bring this up in this thread then all you are doing is bringing that discussion here.
Since you both are making pro scammer comments, I will make some anti-scammer comments.

If you sell something and people lose the product or money, then either you pay them back or you are a scammer.
Based on that, yes you are a scammer. Simple as that. Blaming someone else is even worse.

I live in Aus and we have laws against doing what you did - other countries don't.
If you sell something, it is your problem if there is something wrong with it, not the buyers problem.

If you don't like that, then don't sell stuff.

You make profit, you risk losing that profit and your investment in trying to make a profit.
Very standard economics.

I get the impression this is a case of you not understanding what you were doing and expecting the problem to be "someone else's problem" when
things went wrong.
That isn't how it works. That isn't an excuse for any other people losing anything at all from their transactions with you.

Continue the discussion elsewhere.

He received his product only to have his and others' accounts disabled because of circumstances out of my control. End of story. If you want to flame me, start a new thread or PM me. This is not the appropriate venue.
