Compiled and running the 40101 daemon on linux.  Smiley

phelix - setting -s below 3 was very useful before the 4032 block since we were seeing a new block about every 3-4 seconds, so the default 5 second scan time would cause an unnecessary number of stales/orphans, but with the difficulty increase they're not being generated nearly as fast(I think the diffculty went up 400% or so at 4032?)

does it help to play with the -s factor? I tried lower values but did not notice a difference.

what happened to the idea of a super node for everybody to connect to? my ip is 85.181.140.125:9333 in case anyone would like to connect.  Grin



Tell eme if you notice a slow down LOL  Grin Grin Grin

hehe my connections almost doubled Wink

You like that huh? Cool....watch it drop now.

well, connections hopped arround between 26 and 32  was that everything?  Tongue

I don't know why everyone is getting this number of orphans. I only got 45% orphans since 3:05AM GMT.

Daemon at a Public IP address with 19 peers connected currently.
Well it stops at  8 connections for me.
only orphans

also the network latency seems to be an issue, if you are in Europe you're apparently screwed..

I am also in Europe. In the farthest possible place.
well have a look...

I just checked in code to lock in block 4032 after diff change.
Please grab latest source. Windows client coming soon.

Windows client here: https://github.com/downloads/coblee/litecoin/litecoin-windows-client-40101.zip

Everyone please update.

Unfortunately twobits is asleep and can't help me build a windows daemon. And I only trust him to do that right now.
So for those running on the daemon, you can stay with your current binary. As long as enough people are running the new build, we should be good against an attack. Thanks.

To check to see if you are running latest client, getinfo should return version 40101.

Guys, here's a context diff for few % faster implementation of scrypt.c:

Tried applying this to commit a8a1f3f8d4f1d3d891c049cd3d3b88e6960d9ca6 version of scrypt.c from ArtForz cpuminer and failed.  I can see what you're doing here, when I'm less sleepy I'll patch this in by hand.

You can use this code for other SCRYPT based coins as well. There's quite a bit of opportunity for further optimization, especially on the 64-bit systems, but I just don't have time to do it now. If somebody uses a Visual Studio compilers for Windows, the equivalent of "bswap_32" is "_byteswap_ulong". Have fun.

One reason why I dump all my CPU hashes here is I find the coin owner humble and willing to listen to others and seems to have no quarrels with the rest unlike the rest of the coins which seemed to be created out to spite each other.  Some hiccups here and there but seemed to be ironed out with the help of the owner.

Could be re: latency.  Although I'm like 6 miles and 1 hop from Level3's headquarters, so if this is mostly a northam thing I should be good to go -- yet I wasn't.

In other exciting news networkhashps is now estimated at 1400 khash.  After 3 hours we're where tenebrix was after a week!  If this keeps up we may have our proof whether a six year founder premine affects adoption rate or not.

And boom!  After retarget I mined 2 blocks, both are being confirmed.  I'm on my way to being a litecoin bazillionare!
