I fucking hate Windows 7. Only because I don't use it so don't get the little changes still. I have no access to the Application Data folder, and even so the icon is just shortcut to something else. I was reading how Win7 changed the Doc and Settings to Users and other little changes, but it seems one of the changes is I have no actual Application Data folder. Sorry guys to throw this in the thread, if anyone knows the quick easy way around whatever this is, thanks. Otherwise I guess I will just make a master .conf file to copy and paste to every directory till the right one is found :p

I'll be throwing this on an XP machine I guess, but I am curious about what changes Win7 made with all this shit, I am way late to finding all this out lol

Has anyone succesfully tried minerd as litecoin miner?

I used minerd from tenebrix pack and mined 2900 litecoin on testnet.

returned to tenebrix.

Noob question, where does one find a proper place to put a .conf file in Windows 7? The c:/users folder does not seem to have an equivalent directory for this.

Put it in C:\Users\Owner\App Data\Roaming\Litecoin

Open notepad and use the line "testnet=1". Save as litecoin.conf (make sure it isn't saved as a .txt file in any way).

Litecoin should open in testnet now.

%APPDATA%\Litecoin\

which equals to

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Litecoin\

You have to create the conf file manually I think.

Litecoin remembers Steve Jobs forever.
Genesis block info:

Code:

+        const char* pszTimestamp = "The Times 05/Oct/2011 Steve Jobs, Apple’s Visionary, Dies at 56";

RIP Steve.

P.S.: Fixed wrong address in Abe.

Code:

        "address_version": "\u006f",
        "magic": "\u00fb\u00c0\u00b6\u00db"

Someone may need these info.

An Abe block explorer for Litecoin testnet:

http://misterx.tk:2750/

maybe I will add main chain when Litecoin launches.

--

cannot get the daemon working currently....

--

working again now. the whole network was just down? I couldn't get my miner working and no new blocks too.

Bug: forgot about magic and addr ver things...

I think a time based difficulty change (every 24 hours), combined with blocks found / per hour, is a must have.

One lesson learnt from the original i0coin, time based difficulty changes are a disaster. Multiple nodes disagreeing on the time resulting in block chain forks.

You can still run up to the situation where you have to wait weeks before difficulty drops.

I think we can use the same minerd from tenebrix to mine Litecoin.

Here's a windows client I built just now:
https://github.com/downloads/coblee/litecoin/litecoin-windows-client-10-09-2011.zip

Unfortunately, I'm not a windows guy. I built this on a WinXP running in a virtual machine. And I tried my best to include the necessary dlls and such. It works for me, but let me know if you have trouble.

Do people need a download that has the miner also?

Just to make sure I understand, this download includes a miner within the GUI app?
If so, then that's good enough for me, I don't need a standalone command line miner.

If no, then yes, miner please.

If you put "gen=1" in your litecoin.conf file, it will mine for you.

We will see statistics like hashrate, or any other confirmation that it's mining? This output from Tenebrix is very useful:

[2011-10-08 12:11:24] thread 2: 7554 hashes, 1.54 khash/sec
[2011-10-08 12:11:27] thread 0: 7518 hashes, 1.53 khash/sec
[2011-10-08 12:11:28] thread 1: 7373 hashes, 1.51 khash/sec
[2011-10-08 12:11:28] thread 3: 7390 hashes, 1.51 khash/sec
[2011-10-08 12:11:29] thread 2: 7554 hashes, 1.48 khash/sec

In second thought, I might prefer a similar cmd-line miner.

If anyone wants some free testnet litecoins to play around with, post your address. I need to go now, so I will send out the coins later.

FYI, testnet addresses (like Bitcoin) start with m or n like mmhPCN9hi71wHw5aJmJCogA11HZ84U7c89
For the actual release, Litecoin addresses will start with an L.

Yeap, just curious, will anyone be supporting the development of Fairbrix or you will be doing the development of Litecoin + Fairbrix?

Quote from: Lolcust on October 09, 2011, 03:32:54 AM

A somewhat boring and formalistic question, but does Litecoin "sorta-officially" supersede Fairbrix (in the sense of, would efforts still be spared to organize infrastructure for fairbrix, or would said efforts be completely redirected to the benefit of Litecoin)?

I will give support to Fairbrix as long as there is still interest in Fairbrix. I purposely tried not to position this as a replacement to Fairbrix because I wanted to give Fairbrix a fair chance. But if all Fairbrix miners switch over to Litecoin, then there will be no reason for supporting Fairbrix anymore. I guess we'll see.
