I tried the other litecoin dust settler program and it doesn't work for me. I'm hoping this one will. My coins have been sitting for 2 weeks with barely any noticeable drop in fees.

Edit: Seems this would have been better suited to the "Project Development" forum.  My apologies.  Could a moderator move this for me?

Hi, all.  Until recently I had been discouraged about mining Litecoin on P2Pool servers.  As I'm sure you all know, tiny transactions like the p2pool payouts tend to carry high transaction fees due to Litecoin's "anti-spam" mechanism.  After a bit of searching, I stumbled onto the official litecoin forums where I found several posts addressing the ridiculous fees, as well as one coder who developed an application to help simplify the process of reducing those transaction fees.  I studied the sources to his app, but was unhappy with his implementation.  His app also had a hardcoded "developer donation" which could not be changed or disabled, and simply sent with each transaction.  As a developer, I felt that I needed to improve upon his design if possible.

This is the end result:




As I posted before, I realize that I have not yet built up a reputation in this community, so I fully expect everyone to be cautious about this release.  Sources will be released alongside the compiled exe, which you are free to run in a sandbox and/or virtual machine.  The app is coded in C# so you can inspect the compiled binaries with dotPeek or similar app to ensure that nothing fishy is going on.

Litecoin Roller is scheduled to be released later today, however, it may take me a short while to ensure the last of the major bugs are fixed.  With the release I will provide detailed instructions and screenshots on how to use the app.  Also, once the release is finalized, I'll be posting a link to this thread on /r/litecoin.

I hope this application can be of some use to you, and if it is, feel free to donate using either the addresses in my signature or the donation feature built into the app itself.

Thank you.
