Would it be acceptable to ask Ckolivas to do some updates in this thread and/or give donators a sneak preview at early versions. I know this was not part of the deal but it would be a nice bonus.
Is this bounty for a Litecoin GPU miner only or a CPU+GPU miner? Last time I checked, CPU mining support was going to be removed from cgminer. For simplicity I'll be making it a compile time selection for now, default off. This has already been committed to the git tree and will be in the next version. I will no longer be releasing binaries with CPU mining support built in and if it proves innocuous in this fashion, it will be left that way. Should issues arrive, it will be deprecated entirely in a future version.

Thanks, it looks better now.
I'll add more :
- Calculator should has difficulty field where people can enter the difficulty manually, so they can see how much they'll get when difficulty changed
- Calculator should has 1 day, 7 day, 30 days earning
- Calculator should has additional earning in BTC, USD
- Put latest LTC/BTC price from BTC-E
- Pool stats should have : total litecoin network speed, estimation time for the next difficulty, next difficulty.
- It should be possible to rename worker
- Put your pool's donation address at the footer in vanity style (LNoTroll...), some people may donate to your pool
- Put user's earning in latest 24 hour on Home and on pool stats for each top miner.
- Json / Mobile / HTML API, so people can monitor the miner's speed on mobile phone or with specific application
- Add DDos protection or find some way to deal with it, litecoinpool is ddosed heavily now.
Take a look at pooler's mining pool when it's not down, you'll get my idea.
So basically what you want is an exact clone of my pool. I'll take this as an indirect compliment.  |

The target isn't being rewritten appropriately. Use the example configuration file distributed with ArtForz's fork and set rpc.target.bits to something like 18.

Did you notice that that chart only considers 6 pools? And they are not even the largest ones.
In addition, many large miners have switched to solo because of the recent DDoS attacks against pools.

DDoS attack in progress. Not sure what the attacker is trying to achieve.

For security reasons, accounts are tied to email addresses, so they should not be transferred from one person to another.
Please contact me directly, I think I can make an exception and create an account for you so that you can use the webminer.

The ARM core on Kindle Fire has 128-bit registers in addition to the usual 32-bit registers. This could give a 2-4 times speedup, depending on the exact details of the core used.
Unfortunately not. I have already written a version of the scrypt core that uses NEON (it will be released in the upcoming cpuminer 2.2.3), and the speedup is only about 40% in the best case. There are various technical reasons for this, most importantly the lack of an instruction for bitwise rotation and the fact that current NEON coprocessors can only execute one instruction per cycle, with rare exceptions. The basic ARM instruction set, on the other hand, is pretty optimal for implementing this kind of hashing functions (thanks to the barrel shifter), but of course it cannot compete with the SIMD implementations of performance-oriented architectures. An example: a Samsung Galaxy S II (dual-core Cortex-A9 at 1200 MHz) can do about 1.64 khash/s with the current cpuminer code (hand-written ARM assembly), and about 2.3 khash/s with the to-be-released NEON implementation. The speedup is even more modest on Cortex-A8 processors. |

ufasoft's miner is the fastest for CPUs at the moment.
What other miners have you tried? My fork of cpuminer is giving me better results, for both SHA-256d and scrypt. |

Receiving this error with LTC HTTP request failed: necessary data rewind wasn't possible
Any idea how I can fix it? Was working fine but then I had to restore my OS image this morning, and when did so, I started up LTC and got the error. Could you please provide some more details, such as what options you are using? Are you mining through a proxy? No proxy. minerd.exe --url http://litecoinpool.org/ --userpass removed:removed --threads 3
I also, doubled checked to make sure the time was synced with the internet. You forgot to specify the port. minerd.exe --url http://litecoinpool.org:9332/ --userpass removed:removed --threads 3 |

If you experience difficulties connecting to the pool, don't worry, it's just an ongoing DDOS attack.
Edit: The attack only lasted a few minutes. Everything back to normal.

sorry again but how can I install it? There are no .exe files  There is still no official Windows distribution of the latest version of Litecoin, but one will be released soon. |
|
|
|

Would the new code become part of the main branch of cgminer or would it just be a separate fork? If the former (which I hope is the case), would scrypt support be included in official builds?
I'm asking this because I know that compiling cgminer on anything other than Linux can require some serious skills, and is definitely not something that everyone can do.

Hey Pooler is the pool doing longpull for ya?
It seems to be working fine, yes. |

Got an error with cpuminer:
Last login: Wed Jul 11 16:05:18 on ttys000
/Users/film2240/Downloads/CPUMINER-2/minerd ; exit;
Film2240s-MacBook-Pro:~ film2240$ /Users/film2240/Downloads/CPUMINER-2/minerd ; exit;
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libcurl.4.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/film2240/Downloads/CPUMINER-2/minerd
Reason: Incompatible library version: minerd requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0
If I remember correctly, the OS X binary available at GitHub was compiled on OS X 10.7, so this is probably just a version compatibility problem. I'm not sure what this means and how to fix this easily.Can this app be made with a gui? As I really struggle with terminal.Maybe someone or pooler can make a quick gui that I can use to just start/stop and add pool/login info.Thanks
I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on my MBP and can a gui be made for windows as well please?
A portable GUI already exists. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62414.0Linux and Windows binaries are available, and I'm sure it can also be compiled for OS X. Alternatively, the Litecoin QT client has a mining page you can use to pool mine. Just put the cpuminer executable (minerd) in the same directory as litecoin-qt. |

For my miners and I thought it was the govt fooking with shit, with their dns crap. So I decided to check the pools website, sure enough, it's down and out. http://www.litecoinpool.org/Oh please. That was a perfectly normal downtime of just a few minutes. It's not the first and it won't be the last. |

public a pool before is working is not good, sorry to say that..
Care to elaborate? It seems to be working. Just one question, what is the reward system? |
|
|

Reports of Coinotron's death have been greatly exaggerated  Old pools never die; they just become stale. |
|
|
|
But it isn't very healthy, when 1 pool has more then 51 %
I can only agree with you about that. Yesterday I closed the pools to new users, and put a link to the list of Litecoin pools on the registration page. Let me repost the link here: https://github.com/coblee/litecoin/wiki/Comparison-of-mining-poolsAs you can see there is a wide selection to choose from. |
