Lithium  LIT

A new proud member of the Blake 256 Ecosystem   ---NO PREMINE ---- SPECIAL FAIR LAUNCH ---

THE FIRST TWO THOUSAND BLOCKS PAY LESS THAN 1/2 OF ONE COIN TO RAMP UP MINING !!!!

Lithium is forked from Bitcoin reference wallet 0.8.5 more specific-- from Blake Coin + Photon

Lithium is in part based from Photon the first Blake 256 merge mined coin.

Blake-256(optimized) faster than scrypt and faster than sha256 in C (asm is still faster for sha256d)

The algorithm was written as a candidate for sha3, Based on round one candidate code from the sphlib 2.1 and
reduced the compression function to 8.
Tweaks Removed some of the double hashing from the wallet as it is wasteful on compute,
No changes to the ecdsa public/private function as that has proven to be secure so far on bitcoin.

What is Lithium ?

A Blake 256 coin based on Photon but with smaller block awards that will decrease over time.
The Max Lithium to be produced are  25,228,800


The block time is 3 minutes and difficulty can retarget a maximium of 10% every 20 blocks
(5% max until block3500)


48 Lithium are awarded for each block  (NOTE -- BLOCKS 1 THROUGH 1999 AWARD ONLY .48 LITHIUM)


In about 1 year from launch time the award will reduce to 24 Lithium


This reduction will cut in half each year until all Lithium have been produced.

After year five instead of cutting in half from 1.5 to .75 the award changes to 1 LIT per block.

SETUP

No .conf file should be necessary to get started: The client will connect to the network when started

Mining is available through the public merged pools

MINING POOLS

If you are currently registered to mine other blake 256 coins you only need to add Lithium to your account

If you are new to the blake 256 merge mining eco system it currently allows the mining of seven coins at one time
with the same hash power.  Each coin is a bit different and there are exact details on the links below to the
pools operated for merged mining.  (Note, this is not switching coins --- you mine all at the same time)

No premine is alwaya a good thing

Can someone provide config for nvidia?
I'm getting this hashrate with GTX 770, I think it's low, coz I had radeon 270x with much better hashrate Blake256.

https://i.imgur.com/qXeDi6i.png

cudaminer.exe -a blake -l K1024x32

Yeah, but unfortunately block reward isn't rich now.  ::)

2k blocks with low reward are a good thing...miners have enough time to jump in!

were at 1082

With my hashrate it's not much sense on this diff.
Good luck to big hashes.  :)

https://i.imgur.com/uE6oXp3.png

i got only 40 coins until now^^
only a 270x^^

270x has around 1.3 Gh/s?

1.375 gh/s at the point :)

Yeah, I remember something like this. Too bad nVidia is poor for Blake, but ok for other things not only mining.  :)

i was able to mine since block 600 thats why i have less coins

how much hash did u have??

ya if u dont use the gpus only for mining nvidia is very good
but suxx at mining^^

Look at screenshot I've posted (around 220 mh/s).
285.12 / 0.48 = 594 blocks mined by me.
Wish I had better hashrate at launch.  ;D

oh wow u was early in :)

wished i was a little earlier than 600blocks..but its ok..

if u got more hash at start we wont have this diff now :D and we were much over 2k blocks right^^

Maybe you're right. So it may be called ~ fair start.  :)

It doesn't let me start mining, I use cgminer and nothing happens

Config + conf file? There is no extrasenses.  ;)

Nice coin :D!

currently merge mining BLC+PHO+BBTC+XDQ+ELT+UMO+LIT

http://ny2.blakecoin.com/
http://la1.blakecoin.com/
http://cg1.blakecoin.com/

working on http://eu3.blakecoin.com/ now should also be merge mining in 10-15 mins

for setting just edit cgminer.conf with your details can also tweak the intensity to 10/11 for best result

here is example of cgminer.conf

yeah cuda performance is not great  :'(

is there any tutor for mining ? i was newbie for mining :D

TUT

1.Download the wallet

2.Set config file in .../appdata/roaming/lithium like

lithium.conf or lithiumcoin.conf i dont know!

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pw
rpcport=12345
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
addnode=66.172.12.77
addnode=108.61.242.204

3.set config of cgminer(blake)


{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "http://127.0.0.1:12345",
      "user" : "user",
      "pass" : "pw"
   }
],

"intensity" : "11",
"auto-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "10",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"log" : "5",
"no-restart" : true,
"queue" : "5",
"scan-time" : "1",
"worksize" : "128",
"temp-hysteresis" : "4",
"blake256" : true,
"vectors" : "1",
"kernel-path" : "/"
}

and save!!

than run the cgminer exe and voila u are mining

u should reopen the wallet after u save the conf file in appdata /roaming/

Now cgminer.exe won't even open..

Add pause at end of bat file.

than u did something wrong with the config file

post ur conf pls


i dont use a bat file and it works

can you give me a SS or video how to mining ?

{
"pools" : [
   {

"kernel-path" : "/"
}

it says it cant open cgminer.exe whyever

Hello? Do you have bat file?

      "user" : "name.worker",
      "pass" : "pw"

might be best to register on my pools before you try and connect or solo mine to the wallet by setting your details in lithium.conf in your user data folder

this is correct for a solo mine setup

u have the right cg miner?blake version?

Yes, I downloaded it from the blake website. And yes I have a mining account. its Edacra.worker it works now but it only says Stratum from pool 0 detected new block

only diff 32 share are accepted on pools so it will only submit shares it finds above 32

give it bit longer sounds like its working

what hashrate is it reporting?

or what card are you using?

Edit:
any problem getting connections or getting lots of orphans add these to you lithium.conf

addnode=146.185.135.24
addnode=107.170.132.68
addnode=66.172.12.77
addnode=108.61.242.204
addnode=178.62.44.147

can i get the link for the cgminer ?

Edit: i got the link now :D

good for pools or solo(just edit cgminer.conf), also check the getting stated page on pools for the version with pool failover cgminer.conf example
https://www.blakecoin.org/cgminer-alt-pool-eu.7z (https://www.blakecoin.org/cgminer-alt-pool-eu.7z)

after i edit the cgminer.conf and i'm start the cgminer it show like this around 7 minutes

https://i.imgur.com/e90N6l3.jpg

on solo u need to open the wallet

and just wait a few time and look what happens ...it configures a little than starts mining

Did you setup conf file for wallet and running it as server? Try to make shortcut to wallet exe and add -server

after that it show like this

https://i.imgur.com/YRYJSlw.jpg

I only just finished working on eu3 try again

u need to setup a worker on the pools page

ur username.worker and than worker pw

example

u sign up as stupidminer

u make a worker named worker1 set a password like x

than u need to setup ur config wirh

user:stupidminer.worker1
password:x


u need

user:feryjhie.worker 1
password:x

You dont know how to use google ?

he dont know how to use getting started from the pool page

all pools should now be merge mining BLC+PHO+BBTC+XDQ+ELT+UMO+LIT

http://eu3.blakecoin.com *Located in London
http://ny2.blakecoin.com *Located in New York
http://la1.blakecoin.com *Located in Los Angeles
http://cg1.blakecoin.com *Located in Chicago

please remember to add all your wallet addresses(BLC+PHO+BBTC+XDQ+ELT+UMO+LIT) in the account section or it may throw an error as empty wallet address = duplicate entry  ::)

Also available is NOMP Merged Pool (run by Chiguireitor)
http://nomp.universalmolecule.co.ve *Located in Miami

Note:
I am going back to my other work which is game dev atm

sorry not going to do user support all day but if there is any problems with pools then let me know

will try and check this thread but if not try in the blakecoin tread which I check more often

thanks now it working

np dude

I built the Linux daemon, and there's something weird about the port numbers. There's this if I start it with default ports:


Of course, I checked that no other process is using that port, so it's something about lithiumd.

Setting either port=12005 or rpcport=12005 works. It seems the daemon is trying to use 12007 for both network and RPC by default, rather than 12000 and 12007.

im new to blake    Im using 280x black  im getting 2.03 g/h average any thing i can do to change for increase hash thanks

hi dev
i have launched now a pool for Lithium ONLY
use nomp&mpos for miners

i have dedicated 2 port stratum (vardiff and fixed)
instructions are in pool.

i set low fee only 0.5% for purpose
i have tested now my pool with ati 7950 is works !
link is my signature

for A&Q i am here
thanks

lit.8pool.dtdns.net (http://lit.8pool.dtdns.net)
Works!

Last Block Found   0

hmm works you both say and single mining a merged coin instead of merge mining 7 coins at same time with same hashrate hmm ::)

Hope you realize the hashing in Blake based coins is slightly diffrent than most other coins e.g single sha256d in work gen, blake-256 for address, PoW/AuXPoW, checksum etc..

last block found 0...if not have miners inside...
mining here i am curious

lit.8pool.dtdns.net has found your 1st block number 2165
yay!!!!!!!
this pool Works!
 :D

yes it did :)

Was already Mining on LA1. so LIT is already collecting in my account. Just DL'd and started wallet.

Made a new address for the pool and updated my account with wallet address and a autopay level.

If you want to mine it on it's own pool or solo mine you are free to do so. The same hash can be pointed to a merged pool and you can get 7 coins mined at the same time and not 1/7 on each, it's like you have the hash on all of them

I have ~10LIT 3.23 Confirmed 6.75unconfirmed)already without redcuing my mining of BLC and related coins.


Any info on what Lit will be used for? Buy powerpack with Lithium or as a bad pun buy book with you LIT.

I did not understand a lot of what you say. can explain in a more simple way.thx.
I think... Solo mining with this coin is crazy. Diff is more high in few hours... Pool is good and depend the value of coin. Much miners mining fantom or monetaverde or ducknote for ex in cryptonote algo in pool from single coin , but this coins are merged mined with bytecoin or monero....why???...

Lithium will be seeking to partner with websites and others who want to be introduced to the benefits of the blake 256 system. Many 1st and 3rd party applications (mostly game related) are on the drawing board for lithium. The lithium developers plan to be open to the community on desired features to add/enhance the project and the whole blake 256 syystem.

true merge mining is simple to understand

your hashrate mines 7* coins at same time no split or anything just luck for block finds like all mining

https://blakecoin.org/merged-mining

merge mine only works for same algo, same shares.

you cannot merge mine Lithium with "fantom or monetaverde or ducknote" or "bytecoin or monero" none of them are Blake-256  ::)

*not limited to 7 just how many are in merge atm

thank you for you explain.
I am that I expressed myself badly ... I was just making an example with the coins that use cryptonote algo...

more hashrate also = better security (from attack 51% etc), better average block time(for transactions), more developers working on code base helping each other out and finding/fixing bugs etc

Blake-256 is also a lightweight algo good in software/hardware and one of the few algo's used that is faster than SHA-256D(Bitcoin etc)

Any exchanges lined up?

Sure!
I hope that this pool lit.8pool.dtdns.net increases his hashrate

more miners should join

lol I still dont understand why you would just mine 1 coin when you can mine 7

you dont lose any hashrate its like mining all 7 at same time as your shares are submitted to all chains in merge at same time  ::)

example for 2GH/s GPU

single coin pool

Your 2GH/s = 2GH/s LIT ~ 2GH/s

merge mine pool

Your 2GH/s  = 2GH/s BLC + 2GH/s PHO + 2GH/s BBTC + 2GH/s XDQ + 2GH/s ELT + 2GH/s UMO + 2GH/s LIT ~ 14GH/s if mined separately on single coin pools  

oh well good luck anyways  :D

why would i mine coins i don't want when i can only mine the coin i want?
is lithium just another way to push the mining of other copins on your pool, and how are you connected to the dev and coin?
will the dev go for POD?

Its free coins, why wouldn't you do it?

many of that coins are not on any good exchange, so i wont need them just to sit around

They could someday be worth a lot. What is the harm in keeping them?

its all based of the Blakecoin source code which I released last year and has been maintained, supported, updated since then, most of the other merged coin devs now help with code base not just for their coin but for all  

the community and devs are ones who need to push any of the coins in the eco system everyone seems to have a favorite with you seems to be LIT which is cool

I helped the devs out with some advice gave them a unused chainid but mostly they did all the work themselves which is good shows they are good devs that can code and work with others which in long run will work to all our advantage

fair launch(no premine,ico,ipo etc) so I dont see how the devs are going to do a P&D more likely its the miners that will dump and if a big trader likes it they may P&D it like they do to most coins  :'(

so far working with the lithium devs has been very easy been busy working on MMO game dev so not had much free time, I am glad the LIT devs have not wasted any of my time they have produced a good coin and I am happy to give it my support  ;D

I never said they would P&D, why do you bring that up?

what's a good exchange?

LIT is not even on an exchange yet what if it does not make it to your "Good Exchange" what will you do then?

let me refrase, many of those coins are way older than LIT, so i will say they are long forgoten, and LIT has a chance if it is not only what i think it is, a coin to revive other BLAKE algo coins, since the merged pool has the biggest hashrate and all other coins are mined same time as LIT, so the miners that get LIT will get other coins that they never thought of mining before

POD not P&D?

are you saying then that they will abandon the coin?

if so thats an easy one more devs about more devs that can adopt it for the community or eco system if a dev decides to quite working on an open source project ::)

I been working on code base for over a year now I am not going any where as I do enjoy working on this stuff  ;D

look at the github commit dates to see if a coin has been forgotten by the devs, tbh for small teams or single devs its a lot of work as most of us also work full/part time anyways

things take time Fact!

one thing I can say for sure as I said above everyone has a favorite if you dont like the others sell them to someone who does makes no sense to not get them for free if you are mining a Blake-256 merge capable coin

also as you can see some people are mining the merged pools and have got some LIT today a coin they might not have known about or looked if it had not been a blake merged coin maybe they also love what the dev does with it in the future

maybe you dont see what a bonus it is for devs to work together: for one saves time on bug fixes, testing, sharing code, spotting attacks, releasing updated clients, running pools, running nodes etc..

I don't see why not POD, every new coin has one so why thise to be exception

@dev

You should post the 8Pool in the OP.

I think mining muliple coins that you don't want, while easily more profitable, is not good for those coins as it just encourages you to dump the unwanted ones. Great idea, but not for the coins you don't want. They'll easily be dumped and another worthless coin with many worthless bagholders.

Tell ya what, Mine on the merge pools and I will give you an address to send the unwanted coins to so you dont have to look at them. I bet we find more lithium blocks then the single pools.

Farndogg, just finished reading the entire forum....and then I get to my idea...but you beat me to it...


Merge mining ALL the coins, is the BEST way to mine ANY coins. Think of it as this way: You have someone who wants to throw some money at you every now and again. Included in the handfull of money he throws at you, is a Silver Dollar...2 Quarters...13 Dimes and 46 Pennies.

By Solo Mining, or mining in a pool that only mines one of the available coins...you are in essence throwing away money. Who cares that the coins are traded on an exchange your not familiar with...get familiar with it...make some MORE money. If you only want the Lithium coins...mine the others at the same time, sell them at whatever exchange you want...and use the money to PAY YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL...

I've been merge mining these coins for months now and will keep mining them for a very long time. Dirac (XDQ) currently trades at between 32,000 and 37,000 sat each. They have taken a bit if a hit just like BTC and everything else. About a month or so ago, XDQ shot all the way up to 196,000 sat each....would you throw that coin away because you don't like an exchange? if so, throw them at me, I'll take all you can mine and throw...

Just curious question about the blakemerge pool.

Why does it take so long to get an accepted share? Is it because you have to get a confirm on all the merged coins before it counts?

New at merged mining pools.

When asking permission to use my network, Photon and Photon qt, was who asked for this wallet. Not sure if giving credit or lazy lol.

I'm curious to understand this fact. that's why I want to experience 8pool as only a single pool. see how many blocks are extracted.
for A&Q about pool contact me . i am delegated by staff in this coin.
8pool has set bonus block finder 1% for best miners now.
is a experiment pool.
...try does not cost anything...

I am going to chime in here,

Real developers like BlueDragon , myself and a few other of the core team working on the Blake 256 system have no plans (to my knowledge) to involve ourselves in any of the pod schemes.  Thats a bunch of bs started by people who don't even know how to read code.

The only way to 'prove' something is to release it to the world and see if it holds up.

Our code is on github.  It speaks for itself. If you can hack it, break a coin, take it down..... give it a shot.

You won't be the first to try.  We have had so many attacks from all over the world and things I honestly would  have never thought of it's amazing.

So far we survived them all.

Bitcoin was attacked in the past also several times and even took a few hits. It evolved and survived them all. Our codebase benefits from many many things learned by the attempts to attack bitcoin over the years. We are constantly monitoring our networks and looking for signs of trouble and we actually know what to look for and how to stop problems if someone starts trying anything funny.

I see other coins 'released' with high pod ratings that could be easily messed up without even changing the code or recompiling the client because the people running and releasing the coins just don't know ANYTHING about what they are doing. Suppose we take one of your 'highly rated developer' coins , mine it locally playing around with the clocks on the machines used ..then set them back to normal time and use that modified section of the blockchain to 'connect' to your network.........  The timing problems it could cause would be pretty bad.  Even on a proof of work only coin. If the coin was proof of stake the network would be quite messed up for several hours or even days.  There is a good reason PPC has centralized checkpointing.  Transactions on your blockchain could be reversed.  Coins would vanish and people would not understand why. 

Some coins could be just be "snuffed out" since some people don't bother or know how to update thier code and maintain nodes properly. 
I am not talking about a 51% attack I mean just replaced with an alternate blockchain of the same coin. 
There are a lot of people around who know how to do these things most of them are honest.

I don't attack other peoples coins since innocent people could lose coins.
I would not waste even five minutes of my time with destructive actions when I can work on other things that are constructive.

The proof of "anything" is how well it can stand up to the world. That is why you lock your door at night. That is why banks have guards and vaults to keep money in.  These are necessary controls the world has in place.  If they were not there the banks would get robbed. If no one locked thier home some houses would start to get robbed more often. Houses and banks are robbed now even with the locks and safety measures.  But not nearly as often as if they had zero safety measures.

I also agree with BlueDragon and the others who have posted here about mining a single coin vs. mining all the coins at once.

If you get 7 times your hash power this should be pretty obvious.

If you do not care about the other coins do not put addresses in and I think (not sure) the unclaimed coins become donations. (maybe Blue can clairify that)

Finally a warm welcome for Lithium to the blake 256 family

 

bitcoin have great pool with merged mining and great pool with mining only bitcoin... for example. No monopolist algo and mining. Do you need an example of bitcoin's pools? they are various type of payout pps pplns prop and much more Eligius style...
with the maximum respect for developers blake algo. Obviously.

There is nothing wrong in POD, it protects buyers investment
But based on this i don't see that the dev will do it, so have a good luck with your coin i unwatch now!

ghash.io, btcguild, bitminter, Eligius, mmpool are all merge mine

my pools all use Eloipool which is by Luke Jr and is also used on Eligius and many other Bitcoin pools, my merge pools are also set to PPLNS based on 5 round data

some pools dont even payout in the coins they are mining so it is possible that some Bitcoin pools that only payout in BTC can be merge mining maybe that how they can do 0% fees and still pay for server costs?

whatever the coin algo etc most if mineable coins have a target of so many coins per day mostly this is not related to difficulty its just the coin target so there are always so many coins in the market to trade no matter if you do/dont merge them

you can trade the other coins for LIT one day if that is truly what you wanted but quite a few miners already trade out any coin they mine for BTC/LTC anyways so is somewhat of a moot point?


This is and the other blake merged coins are all based on Bitcoin code base so I dont see what involvement with POD scheme will bring, as Cinnamon said many have tried to hack and have failed and "protects buyers investment" I see many invest in Bitcoin which uses are very similar code base just with a different hashing algorithm which is secure and has been independently academically tested(due to it being SHA-3 candidate) for best attack of 2²⁰⁰ or for brute force 2²⁵⁶ which is slightly better than SHA-256D used in Bitcoin which is 2²⁵⁵ due to the extra collision caused by the double hashing

I guess you just want the hype/spin/BS someone else tells you rather than real working systems with real developers  ::)

I wonder if this was part of a POD scheme  ;D
http://youtu.be/-DT7bX-B1Mg  

Crypto Asian follows me on twitter anyways and I was at the first Satoshi Square - London which was freezing cold  :'(

but still dont see what POD will prevent  ??? 

so you belive that LIT will be the next BTC i don't know why would you compare them, and yes i want a real working developer why not, so what did this coin bring new to alts, i don't see anything besides copy paste coin, but maybe i am wrong, so please prove me wrong, what is new with this coin and why its not just another shitty copy/paste?

I dont have a crystal ball so no idea what Lithium will do in the future but your argument for just mining one coin at a time falls apart if you are trading LIT for BTC/LTC anyways does it not  ::)

The LIT devs can code the client which means they should be able to not only keep it updated but also add features, something that may not be true even for some POD devs

It is upto the LIT devs and the LIT community to market the coin as it is for any of the crypto coins, I am not the one of the main LIT devs so cannot say what the full plan is as I am busy with my own projects but if I can help LIT with my other work I will 8)

None of the Blake merge coins are copy&paste imho go try it see how far you get, all the coins in the merge have fair launch and have different reward structures why does a solid coin need something new where are the rules that say its a requirement?  

There are still not a lot of merge capable coins about that is a fact!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=769073.msg8668650#msg8668650

Doge only just added AuxPoW and started getting merged mined with LTC almost 6 months after PHO was merged mined with BLC  ;D

So if we have a coin that so far has only different reward structure than other, why should people mine it and hold it, does it sounds reasnable?
EDIT: and where is the dev, i think he should join this conversation

@xPooky,

If you want to consolidate your different blake-256 merged mined coins, you can always trade them via exchanges. 

BlakeTrader is in open beta.  You can also trade your coins there to consolidate the coins.  If you really like one coin, for example BlakeBitcoin (BBTC), you can set your pool setting to have the other coins (ELT, BLC, PHO, UMO) withdraw directly to your BlakeTrader sentTo addresses where they would be automatically converted into BBTC.  I don't see having many different coins as a downside to merged mining.

Lithium LIT should be added to BlakeTrader once there are some coins floating around.  Welcome to the blake-256 family!

Does anyone have an official link to the Dirac (XDQ) wallet? Link says page not found.

Just started merge mining at the Blakecoin pool and trying to install wallets.

Edit: For Windows

Lithium is now mined on the Merged Anonymous Pool!!

Enjoy! :)

Thanks for the add -- o.p. updated

Hello,

I've some question?

Lthiumcoin = LIT
LightCoin = LIT

Ok LightCoin is dead, but the same short Name???

Rudn

Maybe better change to LITH?

yes, but any exchange for this coin ?

Probably not as long as two coins share the same ticker. And if Light Coin (LIT) was out first no exchange will probably take Lithium Coin.

But I am still mining as I am sure the dev will take care of this. The quicker the better.

1st post need organize.
Any news?

Why isn't Lithium on BlakeTrader yet? Seems like a no brainer.

Great coin
I hope we see an exchange down the road

Haven't heard much from the dev or news about any exchanges.

To help out, I have opened limited trading for Lithium on BlakeTrader.  I don't have a reference exchange so I am just going to set LITH rate roughly between BBTC and BLC.  LITH rates will adjust according to how much LITH I have.  For now, I only have trading between LITH and ELT.  I may open up more trading partners in the future depending on how things go.

Trade LITH to ELT:

Cheers!

I didn't hear anything back on twitter and would love to hear from main Lithium dev as to his plans for this coin.

Ok -- Updates to the source code and new binaries are up.

Special thanks again to the core Blake 256 Team for help & pointers and getting us going in all the public and private pools.

Very excited to see we are added to the Blake Trader. That shows a "Whoe Lotta Love" in the Blake Coin Family.

For those asking about exchanges we have not yet asked or submitted
Lithium to voting or submission on any exchanges. In upcoming weeks we will.
Coins that get to the exchange too quickly can just be sold off and we joined this team because it has long term vision.   

We have a link to our website which will go live this week in the first page now.
 
The name Lithium sticks with the Science and Chemistry theme of the other coins.

We will be seeking partnerships with classic video game enthusiasts to start with.

We also have many ideas how to use Lithium along with more contemporary yet unreleased titles.

Stay tuned for updates here, cryptocointalk (once we get added in there) and eventually
our website.

Dev please fix this issue on github. ;)

Thank you. 

Ok, my eyes are red, I'm awful tired, end of a long session, so I'm gonna wimp out and ask for some config help here.  Well I offer up tons of help online so I guess it's my turn eh?  Here's the deal.  Got cgminer config set up to log into wallet, batch file runs cgminer with backup pool (eu3.blakecoin.com).  No problems logging in with either, pools are ok.

I've got a 6850 and a 7950 in my machine.  Using the configuration for 6850 posted earlier.  Here's what I'm getting...

https://i.imgur.com/IclSVNI.jpg

Same thing with 1 or 2 threads.  The 6850 stumbles along for a while and then gets a ton of the same errors.  Could do the dig dig digging but I'm just too tired, and besides, if someone explains what's up here, others with the same error will read as well.  Thanks for your time!

HA!  Worksize was too big.  At 64 I'm error-free and tuning.   Sure do have to step things back with this one.  Can someone post some suggested settings for our fave videocards?

-w 64 -g 1 -i 12
7950@ 1140/1500 = 2.25Ghs
6850@ 820/1100 = 670 Mh/s

2 threads, minor increase.  Well that seems to have done it.  Done.  I'm faded.  G'night!

Edit:      Just had to add this last... I'm Loving This Algo!  Right now the fastest miner in the suprnova pool is only ten times as fast as my machine instead of the large cardinal surreal number set that I'm used to.  It's got to be distributed or it just doesn't work.  Bitcoin is now a computational black hole, doomed by it's own miners.

I have 2 rigs which have been mining the Blake Ecosystem for several months (with a break over the summer) ...

My #1 rig has an HD7990. It can be a bit ropey so I only run it at I=11, with this I can still watch HD streams or play games while mining. Despite a 3-fan case, the side is off & I have a 1000 m3/hr 'can fan' (formally used for 'indoor gardening' ;) ) blowing under the GPU. With an ambient of 23 degrees, the GPUs are running 78 & 82 degrees. Average hashrate is 4.639 GH/s, WU is 2005/m.

#2 has an HD5870. As this rig is only used for mining, monitoring the pools 7 running a couple of wallets it's at I=14. The side is off that too but it doesn't need extra cooling as it's stable at 67 degrees. Average hashrate is 2.355GH/s, WU=509.9/m.

I run both cgminers with a .conf rather than a .bat here is the one for rig #2

7990!  Beefy!  Yeah, these newer algos certainly do have that advantage, being able to use your machine.  Of course, any mention of heat or cooling is the perfect excuse to show off this big grill.  Found an awesome deal on two Thermaltake 2.0's, $22 each because they had the wrong firmware.  One for the CPU, one for the 7950, leaving two smaller ones for the two 6950's that I've gotta replace caps on.  Temps?  I am completely unable to get the 7950 over 60C, even scrypt hashing, overvolting to 1.3, and running it at 1240/1740.  It's a very easy hack/retrofit if you ever have the mind to.

POD technically doesn't protect anyone from anything.   All it does is put cryptoasian in the middle of the community and devs when there is a problem.  He doesn't have any authority over anything but his own blog & twitter account. :)   Unless you think crypto asian is going to whip out this big pot of BTC and pay people back everytime there's a problem.   4/5 POD includes " Have personal email and phone number, Skype, Facebook, or LinkedIn as well as answering all questions".  Sweet, so I give him a made up personal email, a $10 magic jack phone number and a bunch of BS accounts.    who exactly does that protect?  -NOBODY

No disrespect to cryptoasian, I'm sure he's a great guy and it looks like he works hard on POD but just because a dev isn't willing to give a "nobody" all his personal info doesn't mean he's a scammer.

looking for the dev to be added to a a exchange 

hey can somone please send me 1 LIT,  8nxGBvgYeCqR6jr2rSgLpCihaFwpw2wi2K so i can test deposits on our exchange

Sent.

thankyou. Hopefully ill have some good news in about 30 minutes

I pushed a few minor changes to source , updated checkpoint , see for yourself https://github.com/lithiumcoin/lithium (https://github.com/lithiumcoin/lithium)

In the next few days look for standard updates to Lithium.

I will push them to github when they are ready and let everyone know here as the member of the team who normally handles these things.

Don't forget , Lithium is traded at BANX https://www.banx.io/ (https://www.banx.io/)

And Blake Trader http://blaketrader.com/ (http://blaketrader.com/)

Lithium 0.8.9.5 Release
https://github.com/lithiumcoin/lithium/releases/tag/0.8.9.5a

new checkpoint and updates with openssl 1.0.2d

You go Lithium  ;D

Why is solo mining discouraged? Is it due to the merge mining going on?

Yes you could solo mine. but for the same number of hashes you get multiple coins. If you really just want LIT merge mine and sell the other coins and buy more Lit.

One of the advantages of all coins in the blake 256 blake coin ecosystem is that if you only want to mine a child coin i.e. Lithium in this case you can do so.....

It can be done with solo or pooled mining.

It will not effect others (the majority) who will merge mine.

Do as you like !!

You could also setup an eloipool instance on your box and solo mine all the coins, that wouldn't hurt ;)

A little behind schecule but block award cutting in half very soon .

In about 250 blocks the reward is going to cut in half from 48 to 24 a block  :o

Yikes! Coins getting ever more rare.

Congrats. Its been a long journey and the life is still strong. May the next year also be a good one.

Lithium-qt 0.8.9.6 release: https://github.com/lithiumcoin/lithium/releases/download/0.8.9.6/Lithium-qt.exe

updated/added some lit nodes,

banx io is closing , use blake trader now

LIT is now listed on Cryptopia

Yes! Excellent news!

Do you still have pools?

There are three merge mine pools setup by BlueDragon747 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=140920)

ny2.blakecoin.com (http://ny2.blakecoin.com)

la1.blakecoin.com (http://la1.blakecoin.com)

eu3.blakecoin.com (http://eu3.blakecoin.com)

You will be able to merge mine (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/273/how-does-merged-mining-work) this coin along with BlakeCoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=306894.0), Photon (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=478136.0), BlakeBitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606037.0), Electron (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624595.0) & Universal Molecule (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702519.0)

With merge mine (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/273/how-does-merged-mining-work) you are not mining each separately all are mined at same time using the same hash, that's the whole beauty of it all the auxchains are a bonus it does not cost any extra from a miner to mine. 8)

Hello LITHIUM team,

I'm happy to announce that your coin has been listed to ItalYiiMP 2.0 for mining,

to get paid in LIT just set c=LIT as password in your configuration.

visit italyiimp.com.

best regards.

bitfawkes

WP is definitely worth to read!

I have been very busy but will likely be at least updating a few things in the client, i.e. checkpoints and anything else that needs updating,  hopefully i still have permission to push changes to github from the original devs..   i believe myself and orig. blakecoin dev bluedragon747 can update ,

if not i may have to fork their repo for updates, 

nodes should still be plentiful and running,  more info to follow soon

merge mine with coin? (using claymore AMD GPU?)

Lithium is a child coin of Blake Coin !!

wow lithium up. why can't see on coinmarketcap?

Who took this over and launched the ICO on lithiumcoin.co?

It's not the same dev's as this coin, No one has taken this over.  It's pumping from lack of due diligence  :D

There was an ICO, new roadmap, and new whitepaper... someone has to be doing something.... I just want to know who controls the site. I guess it is the people on the new lithiumcoin page.

It has nothing to do with this Lithium Coin

This is called "Lithium" ticker: LIT  ::)

if the folks at that ICO cant be bothered to even see if name was taken/used then imho it says a lot about their skill/research/commitment

whatever the case its not related to this project and that site is not related to this project

The real blake 256 release of new wallet by me -- happy 2018

kind of crazy that someone released a coin without checking the ticker and then others bought this coin thinking they bought that coin ??

could that have really happened ?????? omg


UPDATED 1-28-18 CHANGED ON GITHUB TO NORMAL RELEASE AFTER TESTING OUT OK ON WIN 10  THANK YOU

Is there work being done to put lithium on coinmarketcap?

Pool lycheebit.com SCAM !!! Do not mine there promaynil 5 hours coin Nihilo, they all blocks were thrown into the orphan !!! Do not waste your time and money on this pool !!!

my merge mined pools(BLC+PHO+BBTC+ELT+UMO+LIT) and most info wallets/source/explorers for whole Blake ecosystem found here https://blakecoin.org/merged-mining/

or if you just want btc payout try http://zpool.ca/ they are merging BLC+PHO+LIT atm

So is this coin currently under development? Does it have a dev team? or any kind of team?

Delisted from Cryptopia due to LIT being a security? Is that some kind of error?

This is so much old thread and alsmot no activity for long time, is this project still kicking?

They seemed to have confused it with the lithiumcoin.co ICO that used the same LIT ticker.

Cryptopia doesn't even list the ICO coin, I sent them a message. Hopefully they can get it fixed  :)



Yes, Lithium Coin is part of the BlakeStream MergeMine & is still kicking ;D

Cryptopia is delisting Lithium coin from their exchange and I have Lithium coins on Cryptopia.  Is there another exchange where I can transfer my coins?  I have searched for atomic trader, cryptex, banx, and blaketrader but they don't appear to exist or Lithium coin is not listed there anymore.

You can trade Lithium on https://c-patex.com/ (https://c-patex.com/)

I received a response back from cryptopia they said they are reviewing it.

thank you for sharing sidgrip

They had better review it quick, because it's scheduled to be delisted in just 20 days.  They stopped the market on May 28th, and they will erase all your coins on June 28th unless they decide to let the market start going again.  This is a complete rip-off bitch move by Cryptopia.  They stopped the market without any warning and rendered all Lithium coins instantly worthless.  That other exchange that was mentioned is total crap because there is no volume and zero buy orders over there.

I would prefer a web development company does not try and get into crypto and hijack projects that are active, some of what you said does not make any sense so be warned I will alert community if anyone tries a scam with Lithium (LIT)  :-\

as one of the core devs for this open source no ipo/ico or pre-mined project you are most welcome to submit pull requests via github they will be review and if suitable merged if you really are looking to help 8)
