Topic: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched! - page 407. (Read 1467253 times)

How do I get added to your list? I'd love to be added to that list.

Some not-so-smart people in the country that invented GMT huh ?

Yeah figured it out soon as I hit enter - saw the time was 3.00am and tried running the client.  Had beer induced amnesia causing me to forget that until later this month te UK isn't actually on GMT.

Top right hand corner of the forum. 50 minutes.

I would like to suggest a 50/50 coin that divides the work 50% GPU and 50% CPU. You would do double SHA2 first then send it to the CPU for scrypt. You could maybe even do this twice per hash. This one could be called heavycoin. This should take AWS out of the picture.

Doh, ignore that.  Have had a few beers and forgot we're (in the UK) still on BST which is an hour ahead of GMT.

How long till 3am GMT?

Will be laughing when he launches 600 EC2 instances against this POS and kill it just like Failbrix was killed. TBX is the only CPU mining coin ATM. Along with SC2 maybe. He has 1.25 million TBX so I think he wants Litecoin dead.

Here is my batch script:


Noe - I had to change the default user/pass in the "mine X threads.bat" from user/pass to miner/litecoin - those are what appear in the sample file.
Going to sleep now, hope it works.

Here's to a successful launch, and kudos to coblee and everyone else who helped make this launch happen - seems very promising so far.

Me too although mine is a lot more overly complicated

Got my script all set up (basically a while : do wget litecoin.conf && litecoind ; sleep 59 ; done with the tenebrix miner fired up in the other window ) so I hope to be the first. =)

If I can get to the keyboard around the time it's slated to go live I'll bump down the sleeping.

You know you will be the first to mine it.

You only need it if you want it to run in the background. If it works for you without it, then stick with that.

You're the one that was wanting it to be released and Intel optimized so badly.
You're such a dumbass.




Anyway,
Is this actually necessary? Anybody know for sure? Because mine works just fine with only server=1 in my config.

Cheers

The old one will work just fine, but downloading the new one may prevent your blocks from being orphaned by a 51% attacker.

I still cannot believe how people will fall for this scamchain launch. Avoid. No exchange sucks too etc. !!!

What do you mean by "sometime" after the launch?  Minutes?  Hours?

What will happen between you change the code and we download it, compile it, and run it?  Will the old one we will be running useless at all?

I'm teaching a class at 8am (6am GMT).  It'll hurt my class if I don't get a good sleep this night.

ama.. i would try.. it doesnt hurt to try

IMPORTANT

Here's the deal on the launch. The launch will happen in less than 7 hours at 3AM GMT. At that time, I will reply to this post with a comment that looks like:


You will need add these 2 lines to your litecoin.conf file and then remove the testnet=1 line. Restart your client and you will be on the real chain. And then you can mine away.

For those of you that are not going to be awake for this, there is a solution. You will need to know how to set up a cronjob or something. Immediately after the launch, terrytibbs will upload a litecoin.conf file with the correct stuff at this location: http://litecoin.org/downloads/litecoin.conf

And the file will look like this:


If you try now, you will get a 404 error. So please keep trying until you get a file. Please note that daemon=1 is not set, so if you want to run your litecoind as a daemon, you need to pass it in: "./litecoind -daemon"
The reason why we don't set that automatically is because it will crash the GUI.

To test your cron job, we've uploaded a sample file to http://litecoin.org/downloads/litecoin.conf.sample
If people have a working cron job shell script, please post it here to help others out.

Lastly, sometime after the launch, I will check in the code with the geneis block AND a new block hash lock. This is another step to prevent a 51% attack. If you don't want your mined coins to be stolen by a 51% attack, please download that new code (or binary) and run it. I will post about that when I have it checked in.
