Just an FYI ... I'm sure most know but in case anyone hasn't looked at block 0 or read the main.cpp code: The block 0 comment/coinbase: coinbase (72) : 04ffff001d0104404e592054696d65732030352f4f63742f32303131205374657665204a6f62732 c204170706c65e280997320566973696f6e6172792c2044696573206174203536 (.......@NY Times 05/Oct/2011 Steve Jobs, Apple...s Visionary, Dies at 56) ... yeah you gotta love those ' characters and the problems they can cause  Yes, I started working on Litecoin the day after Steve Jobs passed away. I thought the memory of Steve Jobs is a great foundation for the Litecoin block chain to be built on top of. |

The next thing I'd like to add to the Litecoin client is the ability to mine at a pool. Matoking built a nice GUI on top of minerd. I will look into incorporating this into the client. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=47417.msg587882#msg587882A similar but opposite feature I'd like work on is for each client to be able to act as a node in a distributed pool. Something like p2pool: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2PoolEither add a UI for the client to kick off p2pool. Or code up p2pool (or something similar) in C++. The former will be much simpler, but would be hacky, because litecoin will start/stop/configure p2pool via python scripts, and p2pool will talk to litecoin via RPC calls on localhost. The latter would be much nicer because the client will communicate with different nodes on the same p2p network as the block chain communication, but it would take considerable amount of work to implement it. Which of these features do you want? |

There really is no way to know if hash rates are correct unless we can see the code.
Your puppies have disassembled the code, but you still can't figure it out? Well, to be fair, the person who wrote the code also couldn't figure out if his hashrate is correct. Calculating the number of hashes you do every second is hard... you know. |

The website is a template, maybe took 45 min, the wiki is nearly devoid of any information and much of what actually is there, has been copy pasted from the btc wiki. Both sites could be hosted in their current state for under $5 a month. (by the way, at the time of writing this the site is down, maybe he scammed his host too?)
The fact that he screwed over multiple good people on this forum is OK because he did you a personal favor?
Your OK with the fact that your users' computers could be compromised and only until it happens will you take action as opposed to taking preventative measures? You realize people have more sensitive info than Litecoins on their computers right? You should respect that more. Not very considerate to undermine the security of the general user base.
I understand you may have personal trust for him (perhaps unfounded), however letting him run the main litecoin site and wiki raises concern as to the level of respect you have for your users' security.
Note: What really shows you his character when he keeps peoples money after not delivering the purchased item, and expects others to shoulder his financial follies.
All the above is my opinion, nothing less, nothing more; this was written with the utmost concern of the community in mind and no disrespect was intended.
Because I don't have the time and resources to do everything myself, I will have to trust people to help me. Like I've said before, terrytibbs has spent more time and effort than anyone else other than myself into this project. Your 45 minute estimate is way off the mark. In my dealings with terrytibbs, I know that I can trust him with the web hosting. I can trust him with this more than any other person on this forum or on IRC. Or should I trust you instead? You can do the website in 45 minutes and only have to pay $5 for web hosting, so do you want to take over? What if you are actually Tom Williams from mybitcoin.com. How would I know? All I can go by is from my personal history with people. And why do people trust me? I could easily put malware in the binaries I create. The only thing you can go by is my previous posts here on the forum. So if you trust me, I ask you to trust my judgement on who I choose to help me host the Litecoin websites. If you don't trust my judgement here, then you should probably not visit those websites and only read this forum. This is the last thing I will say about this issue here. If you want to continue this discussion, please start a new thread. |

RS has always mentioned that he wants to have GPU and CPU on the same level, not to ban GPUs completly, it looks like that was reached... sure it also helped promoting SC. It's funny how everybody else jumped on the CPU-train after RS published the idea and published some altchains, which are not far from death now, except maybe LTC  FYI, ArtForz talked in IRC about a CPU-only chain before SC1 was taken down, and way before RS mentioned the CPU-only idea. So don't assume that ArtForz stole his idea. |

Whats the problem? The first hashrate had a bug, he tried to fix it, but introduced another bug. Now it hopefully is correct... But maybe you are right, this is a big conspiracy...
It may not be a conspiracy, but if he can introduce 2 bugs in something as simple as a hashrate measurement, who knows what kinds of security problems he's introduced? Add to the fact that this is closed source, you are just asking for trouble IMHO. |

Well I will comment I've already got 50 LTC from coblee for drawing that - so if I do win, coblee, please keep any extra LTC you were going to pay the winner. This wasn't a pre-mine of any sort so since you are passing out LTC from your own pocket to everyone who drew one, 50 LTC for me is more than enough already. However, I'm pretty sure the one you prefer is Bitcoinporn's so that may solve that anyway You are correct, I do like BitcoinPorn's logo. But I like yours also. And since the crowd has spoken, I may be convinced. |

You charged people money for something, gave them something else then claimed ignorance and washed your hands... frankly it was your business failure not theirs. Your logic makes about as much sense as asking your supplier for refunds when buyer don't pay. If your supplier was shady, that is your loss to take, not your honest paying customers...
Anyways, I luckily didn't get scammed by you, my concern is that you don't seem like a very good name to be managing the 2 domains of a new coin.
If you care about the litecoin community then you should disassociate your name from it, doesn't instill much trust having a scammer representing us.
I do not manage the Litecoin domain names. They are managed by coblee, and it was his decision to point them at my servers. terrytibbs has done more for Litecoin than most people. He designed the webpage and set up the wiki and offered to host the webpages. The fact that he has a disagreement with his customers over a previous dealing has no effect on whether or not he can design a great webpage or host the webpage. Given the amount of time he's put into the project, I trust him. And the worst he can do is basically put a malware binary as the link to the Litecoin client download. If there's any signs of that, I will definitely switch to a different host. Note: It really shows you his character when terrytibbs continue to post with his original account. Most scammers will just create a new account and continue to scam others. |

Help me pick the Litecoin logo. Listed are my top 5. You can see all the logo submissions here: http://litecoin.info/index.php?title=Logo_DesignsIf you think I made a huge mistake and another logo not listed is better, please vote on the last option and tell me which one. Note: This won't be totally democratic. I already have one in mind. It's one of those listed above. I won't say which. If there's an overwhelming favorite that's different than my choice, I will probably go with that one. So vote! |

Looks like there aren't too many people mining fairbrix anymore. From allchains.info Litecoin has 5.69 mhash whereas Fairbrix only has .08 mhash. That's like 1.5% of Litecoin's network. Since interest is so low and the price is really low also, I probably won't spend much time maintaining the fork. If someone wants to take over, I will be happy to transfer the github project over to them.

I guess my awesome coin design didn't make the cut. Oh well. You'll rue the day! *shakes fist* Well, you didn't provide a litecoin address. But if you really consider your logo an honest attempt, give me your litecoin address and I will give you a reward. I mean, from the looks of it, you did spend some time creating it. |
