I have no control over the launch time. Only the poll does, so go vote.

I voted Thursday and so did most other people so why are you saying Wednesday now !?

Please check your timezone. The last option in the poll is Thursday in GMT but Wednesday in the US. And that's 29 hours away.

Yes I am in London so GMT is the time I need. So then it is Thursday my time right !? Please make it in afternoon not at 3AM like SolidCoin !

Now you're just being dumb. Why do I even bother responding to you?

Why am I being dumb ? I am asking you to release it at a reasonable time so I don't have to stay awake all night then go to work the next day without having slept a minute etc.

Please consider this. Thanks !

Read the first quote above again. I already said that whatever option wins out in the poll will set the time of launch. So why should I make the launch later just for you... especially when you call me a Japanese scammer in your sig?

+1.

Bulanula: what happened to "OMG SCAMCOIN!"?

If you're at work, then tough shit. Sucks to be you. 4am is inconvienient for me also.

Question for technical people. Would it be a bad idea if I told people to add "addnode=" to their litecoin.conf file so that they will immediately talk to my client for the genesis block? Would that overwhelm my client and take my client down? Or does bitcoin handle that well?
By default Satoshi client accepts 125 incoming connections. The flag is "-maxconnections". Then there's kernel per-process limit "getconf OPEN_MAX" which is 1024. That's all if you running Linux. On Windows you'll have to run a Windows Server to accept many incoming connections.

I didn't read you code, I'm assuming you did a competent job modifying it.

Okay, I have a pool set up for litecoin. Testing on the testnet currently, works just fine. Doesn't work very well right now with 1 share per block. But, it works.

I've tested it inside and out of this networking using the latest miner for tenebrix and using the pushpool fork by artforz for tenebrix. Works like magic. Simple interface, just use a litecoin address to register, and it automatically creates workers like this: yourlitecoinaddress_1:1, yourlitecoinaddress_2:2

I'll start that maybe the day after or something when difficulty increases a little bit.

I'm also working on an exchange. Are there any other exchanges planned? I just wanted it to go from like lc<->btc, lc<->tbx ? None of the fancy charts like on btc-e but would be text based like bitparking.

Are there any other exchanges in the works, or should I push on with this hard? I'd love to be the first and only but if the big players like bitparking and btc-e have exchanges up there is no sense in me competing.

Looks like the launch will be in 29 hours and a bit. The actual time will be announce in about 9 hours. Stay tuned.

If you'd like to snag some Testnet coins to test that your client is working without mining, you can get 10 coins over at my Testnet Faucet. I originally made this for us over at IRC, but seeing as everyone over there is a testnet millionaire... yeah.. you get the point.

Starting the windows client without a litecoin.conf file and testnet=1 in it results into a nasty Visual C++ crash something about assertion.

 Roll Eyes if you read the assertion it'd tell you that you need to put "testnet=1" into your litecoin.conf in the right directory!

just to be clear, any coins mined from testnet are in a way worthless, yes?
Yes, they are only meant to get you setup and prepared for mainnet, or if you're developing an application and don't want to risk real Litecoins while testing.

thanks guys

Worth is demanded by market. Since there will not be a market for them, they will be practically worthless ... but keep them, no reason not to.

Linux since 1997 RedHat 4
Well of my list, the highest is
Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz - avg 2.16 per thread
which is 6.48MH/s using 3 out of 4
(which would imply a max of 8.64 using 4 - comparatively high for a slower CPU)
