Hi, I'd like to be whitelisted.

I have an account with burnside's LTC mining pool that needs some attention, so I'd like to reply over in his thread with specifics.

As for proof that I understand BTC and don't need newbie restrictions, how about:
* The main differences between BTC and LTC are that LTC has a 2.5-minute block time and uses scrypt as a proof-of-work function rather than SHA256
* scrypt is used because it has a built in memory usage vs. computation tradeoff. This makes general-purpose PCs able to compete better with compute-only ASIC miners, since having large amounts of memory makes up for a lower computation speed.
* Miners will accept blocks timestamped up to 2 hours in the future, which has been proposed as an attack vector for the network (sometimes called Timejacking). However, the use of the public NTP network whose use extends beyond just BTC makes it hard to achieve.

Thanks!
