I have sent you a PM

I am alive and well... thank god

Our long term plan research is out in the open. The short/mid term plans also come with adoption. Most of the present functions are what crypto enthusiasts want to see in a coin. That is why they were included in the development plans.


Anyone that is also interested in seeing Lightcoin on a exchange should try to contact exchanges. Here are some steps to do it:

Follow Lightcoin twitter @ https://twitter.com/Lightcointweet

Bittrex:
Follow their twitter and tweet them and asking to add Lightcoin market @BittrexExchange
Send them a ticket: https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Contact Bittrex owners here on Bitcointalk: richiela, Bittrex-Bill, Bittrex-Rami
Post in Bittrex thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=463202.0

Poloniex:
Send them a ticket to add Lightcoin for voting: https://poloniex.com/coinRequest
Send them a ticket to add Lightcoin market: http://poloniex.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new
Contact Poloniex owner: busoni

There are many other exchanges which follow the same procedure so please feel free to suggest them.

edit: Some exchange have chat boxes and you can spread the word there about Lightcoin and make awareness to other traders.

Open your wallet and then close it.

Create Lightcoin.conf file in %appdata% /roaming /LightCoin directory and copy the details below in there

server=1
listen=1
addnode=108.61.198.108
addnode=203.217.75.40
addnode=37.187.144.69
addnode=162.243.39.250

Save it and restart your wallet. It will start to sync

I am not gone. I have always been here. This is a long term project. I am working to introduce Lightcoin mining on mobiles. I have no hurry to see it succeed because this is a experimental research. When goals are meet I will publish the results.


I am working on getting Lightcoin in a exchange but this isn't a priority of mine. I will do my best.


I have update the website with functional links.


I would not mind to be a clone of Darkcoin since it is a successful digital currency that have opened doors to other coins to succeed. Alternative crypto currencies follow the path of success and innovations like Bitcoin, Peercoin and Lightcoin is no different. What distinguishes Lightcoin from other is my long term development research plan but that is not our only goal. Time will tell if we are a good investment or not.

I have added more nodes to the OP:

Code: addnode=203.217.75.40 addnode=37.187.144.69 addnode=162.243.39.250

Everyone spread your hash between these pools. I have contacted lit.niceming.pw pool operator to take action and close registrations for the time being. And miners at http://lit.nicemining.pw please point your miners to the other pools so we can avoid any attack to the network.

Thank you

Just leave it open and wait. It will sync eventually. The more people download the wallets the more nodes we will have.

have you added a LightCoin.config file to your %appdata% roaming LightCoin folder?

server=1
listen=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=24551
addnode=108.61.198.108

It is not only mobile phones but mobile devices. I can tell you that the concept is out but mining a blockchain with a mobile cpu is tricky and batteries lifespan are not cut out for it yet. However there are ways to introduce apps to do it. This is what I am working on. I cannot estimate any dates for this but any breakthrough will be revealed.

I have launched the coin according to my local time which now is 22h25 and not 21h25.

I am sorry if there was miscommunication but I wanted to launch the coin on time. I was not following any countdown timer.

I have made the first 100 blocks reward 0 to avoid any instamined.

There was no instamine. The first 100 blocks the reward was 0 so how could anyone instamine it?

Litecoin was released in October 09, 2011 so what hype are you talking about?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Mean_Time

The first 100 blocks the reward is 0 to prevent instamine and it is not 1 hour early...

If anyone have any error opening the wallet at first... just restart it. You should have no problems after that!

It is 20h00 GMT London time...

There has been many discussions and development around X11 FPGA mining but not all the 11 hashing algo functions are yet programmed to do so.
The X11 Asics are a myth but I reckon they will be created like they have done for Sha and Scrypt algos.
However there are GPU farms that anyone can rent to mine X11 from the following:

I have thought carefully on the name of the coin and me and my coworkers have decided that Lightcoin is the appropriated name for the plans we have for this project. We are here for the long haul and to deliver so I don't have any hurry to see a community grow around Lightcoin development.
Lightcoin (LIT) is not to be confused by the scrypt algo crypto currency named Litecoin (LTC). I am sure people can see the differences.

Thank you for the feedback and support.
