Well that being due to not being able to connect to any nodes I guess yep.

I had 2 on there - removed and added all on your original post - no dice. Rebooted server and all that normal stuff to test -

We haven't had to update the client for months. Your only issue is being stuck on that block? Current block is 47167

Cool thank you

Sounds cool that it's being added - but maybe I'm using old spotsd daemon? how many have you released thus far?

Was working fine up until yesterday pretty much. stuck on block 46355

I'll take a look this weekend. It's not grim at all. Spots is about to be added to WorkForCrypto.com

Hey noticed no more node connections on spotsd. Overall hashrate seems low - client works for me but spotsd doesn't.

Do you have new source code for spotsd which is based on current code? The link to the latest source crashed my server I'm not going to compile it again as it also seems to be dated. Do you have a github with the latest sources?

Also - overall spots network hashrates seem low - Coin's outlook looking grim.

Thank you 

I'm not aware of any that still hop on Spots. If you are, please let me know which so I can watch them a little closer and figure out a way to dissuade their forumulas from trying to jump on

Even if they do, they are only getting maybe 5 blocks at the absolute max before it adjusts higher and they get off. And being 70 second blocks, that's like 5 minutes of them mining nothing. Downtime is exactly what they are against, and it's proven to be our strongest defense against them

Difficulty adjustment has worked very well for Spots. Earlier when the multipools were hopping on it, the quick retarget and longer block times were causing their miners to get disconnected from the multipool from switching coins too many times too fast. That caused us to be dropped from most (if not all) of them, which is awesome for the people mining Spots directly. I believe the difficulty targeting is working pretty perfectly

I'm glad you found a ghetto work around for the litecoin cross chatter. You can also manually ban nodes you catch trying to send the much longer blockchain to your client

100% need to get multi pool away

iGotSpots, i think you can add in todo-list this: calc difficulty not only for last 2/3 blocks or what there now. As i wathing last 5 days - huje jumps in networkhash happening: from 7-9Mh to 100-350Mh... And because of that there are not correct blocks_per_hour value if we watch more that 1-2-3 hours. In 5 days period there is a big divergence from what you planned. So wallets/network can correct difficulty not just in last 2/3 blocks but with coefficient that includes blocks_per_week or something to be more stable blocks_per_hour rate at big periods and to prevent instamining at one time when multipools/huge miners are switching to coin when there are low difficulty.
This will protect coin from future dumping by huge&fast instaminers.
How do you think?

PS: blocked litecoin network/port from wallet only by rule in Kaspersky Internet Security if you don't want to fix wallet

Far from it. I haven't posted in this thread in a while because we have 3 new projects being actively developed. These are going to be payable only with Spots, Copper Bars, and Tickets, which I am doing the marketing for now

I really want to tell you guys more, but I really can't, yet. We don't post or bump our threads to just stay on the first page. We only update with live, relevant services or stores accepting the coin. Our silence recently is not due to anything bad happening; it is quite the contrary.

Ahhhhhh fuck it, here's a little dish

The first project is web-based and will create a LOT of opportunities for the users to "earn" the coin of their choice. No, it's not fill out surveys or some stupid shit

The second one does have to do with advertising, and we can release more info on that very soon, it's kind of been placed on the backburner for the above project right now

The third, and most exciting, project is our renewable energy miners. The goal is 0 electricity cost while being able to power enough hardware to produce 150 gHash on Sha, or about 20 scrypt mHash (rough estimate for the scrypt numbers) with no energy bills. We are focusing on powering ASIC's for now due to their lower requirements with increased numbers, but these are not chips or anything like that. You can use these on anything, even your kitchen if you wanted to.  Again, this is our most in depth project and will not be updating regularly with details. We will do press releases and videos when we are closer to completion. Right now we only have the first build up and running. It's currently powering 10 erupter blades with about 120ish gHash and $0 electricity costs as I type this. For how long, though? That's the question we are going to answer before we post any updates. We've recently added an engineer to the team locally to help with size and noise restraints to make these more miner friendly

Thanks for sticking around, everyone. Please remember...in the case of Spots, CPR, and TIX...silence does not indicate inactivity, but quite the opposite. Feel free to PM me any questions and I'll do my best to answer them in case they are missed in this thread

Litecoin syncs haven't happened since the first release, at least not that I'm aware of except for you getting it. 1.0.2 is the most updated client

For a min I thought the coin was dead!!!!!

sumantso, why?

iGotSpots, how much total population of spots? when block reward divides?

With the site now accepting a lot of coins, I guess Spots is useless?

1) Blockexplorer #1 permanently down, blockexplorer #2 shows nothing in "Block Count:", "Difficulty:" and "Connections:". So coinchoose cannot get information.
2) wallet is permanently knocking litecoin door. It's a waste of time and resources. Fix wallet and upload windows client. Make coind.exe available too. Link to googledocs contains Wallet v1.0.2.0-unk-nug Aug 29 2013, 20:02:03. Sources at github are ver 1.0. I haven't linux so cannot fix client myself to prevent connection to peers on port 9333.

Where to get coind (Windows)?

I'd like to, but I don't support members of a coin's team doing artificial inflation on their coin's price. There is one popular coin doing it right now with investor's money and I find it very shady and dishonest. But that's just me

I still buy them, though. I just don't pump it. The price is for the market to decide

Buy it up :-)

It dropped when the multipools were hitting it. Pretty sure they realized that it's not profitable to mine on with our fast diff retargeting. Their miners were getting disconnected from the pool from switching too fast to to many coins because they'd get two blocks and have to switch again.

I don't think people realize this, though, and keep selling low. I've seen it pumped several times, recently, though into the high 3's. Timing is everything. I have a feeling someone is going to pump it hard soon, though. No walls on the sell side

Currently it's only a couple BTC worth up for selling and you can quadruple the price up into the 4's

What's going on with the price on SPT ?
