SCAM ALERT!
Watch out! CryptoTrader is a scam. I sent him 120LTC and he never send the FTC he was suppose to send me back!
FRAUD!
What a way to lose $500. |

You would need the Python interpreter, it comes as an installer or zip, I recommend the installer. There is a 32-bit version and a 64-bit one, use whichever suits you. That should be all, unless that script depends on modules not part of standard Python. http://www.python.org/download/The Python installer associates .py files with Python so double clicking will execute them, or you can do it the old fashion and recommended way |

Thanks for the thread, still kind of confused but ill keep working at it, if anyone else has any insight on how to create a LTC genesis block it would be much appreciated.
I know I'm being rude here, but if you need to ask for help creating a genesis block for your alt-coin, you have no business creating an alt-coin. If you just want to have fun and learn how crypto-currencies work, that's fine. Just recognize that you are a long way from being competent enough to be doing this seriously. I get that, and I am doing this for fun, I'm not really working on the idea that I'll actually compete with any of the main altcoins... I just really want to do it to see what's involved. Now that's out of the way, any advice to point me in the right direction. Well, I modified my genesis block generator to work with scrypt, I am able to create the PoW hash for scrypt and the merkle hash correctly, just not sure how to get the other hash, the genesis block hash. Apparently they are two different things. EDIT:After reading up on scrypt, I think I figured out how to do it. |

A distributed exchange cannot work with fiat, it was doomed to fail either way.

The more important question is why there is a Java popup on your website? |
|
|
|
I was asked to run Java last time I logged in to Blockchain.info. Is this supposed to happen? Think I'll transfer my Bitcoins to a paperwallet to be on the safe side...
That shouldn't happen, you were infected by Java, most likely. But how did Java exploit end up on Blockchain.info? |

Only choice you have is to join in the group buy of the Avalon ASIC chips and DIY them or get someone else to assemble them for you.
Another option, I would say is BFL 5 GH/s miners but who knows when you'll get them but to be fair they have started shipping. Albeit in tiny tiny quantities.
The group buy is for chips, that need to be assembled at 80 euro or more per module(which is 10 chips). As it's apparent ASICs are coming/here, I also want to get in, but unlike most rich people, and I mean rich about people whose standards are that 10k is cheap,normal and can be gotten within 2-3 months of work or whatever.
With all due respect, you have no idea who is rich and who is not. Nor do you know what priorities/sacrifices people will make to buy the higher priced hardware. Haven't we all heard enough childish whining about "only rich people can mine now"? Your choices are very simple. Buy an ASIC or don't buy an ASIC. How much you or can or are willing spend is completely independent of how rich you are. I've been eating stale bread for months to get my shiny ASIC.  PS: Just joking, but you get the idea of what people sacrifice for something you think they took for granted.No joke here, I've had stale bread many times, simply because there is not enough money. |

Sadly no, at most you can get is some code of C miners with MinGW. Visual C++? Not that I am aware of, since Bitcoin is compiled with MinGW and mostly under Linux, people have not bothered with Visual C++ about anything, especially in C++.
There are some PHP dev kits which are mostly platform independent.

I have only $1400-1500 atm and this amount is very big by my standards, what can I get with this amount that will have worth hashing at the absurd difficulties that will follow? $1400-500 with the intention of getting a done unit, not DYI that costs more and is worthless in speed unless you have 700btc, which I do not.

I had millions of devcoins in this pool, but since they were worthless I left em at that pool and forgot them, the pool is now gone.

There are a lot of people who bought over 1000 coins when they were cheap and now have fun manipulating the market with 300k or more.

I am writing an exchange in PHP as an exercise to see how they work, just an exercise nothing for real-world application. I haven't done PHP in a very long time I have become so rusty many basics are still hard to remember. I want to store a number of say 87.12471115 bitcoins as a 64bit integer in MySQL(i), where my field is of type BIGINT. I want to store it without any precision loss, or need for rounding so that no matter what number is entered it's ALWAYS printed exactly the same way it was entered, not even a single digit being higher or lower. Like entering 87.12471115 and then fetching the value as 87.1247111 6 or 87.1247111 4 or even worse 87.13 <-- BAD. So how do I process the number? In Bitcoin it's multiplied by 100,000,000(64bit integer) which a hundred million. <?php
$amount = $_POST['amount']; // the user has entered 87.12471115 which gets interpreted either as a string OR a double.
// what should be done here?
mysqli_query(....); // insert the amount here
As you can see it either gets treated as a double or a string. How would the process of double to integer happen? |

The genesis block creation is not as simple as changing the letters to be anything. I have written a Genesis block creator in C, but it won't work for scrypt i.e Litecoin based cryptos. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181981.0 however it will give you an insight on how it's done. It's also not just a matter of changing "uint256 hashGenesisBlock("0x12a765e31ffd4059bada1e25190f6e98c99d9714d334efa41a195a7e7e04bfe2");" there are many more things that need to be edited. |

How did this guy get past the Newbie section?
I've been around this forum longer than you, smartass. A whopping 4 days, good for you. |

Hashing for blocks is done in two ways. Either learning the SHA256 algorithm and make use of the midstate to speed up computation, or something along those lines OR read the article on the block hashing algorithm which is basically doublesha256 of the block header, nothing too complex. You can see the relevant code here from the genesis block generator I wrote https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181981.0 |
