I think NameCoin will ultimately become the most valuable crypto-currency as it's mined off the back of the Bitcoin block-chain  but it also has a purpose of being used for domain names in an alternative peer2peer DNS system which is very censor resistant.   If SOPA took off I could see .bit domain names being used a lot more.

Thanks but I can only use the LTC wallet from the command line because I can't get the qt to work - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63706.0  Do you know any good guides to using the wallet (or the BTC wallet will do) from the command line.  The command 'help' is not enough to me because I'm not a command line expert.

is there an IRC for p2pool?

PPLNS is awesome.  But P2Pool is PPLNS, so as a PPLNS pool it's more redundant to P2Pool than it would be otherwise. Some people prefer other schemes (e.g. PPS) that aren't reasonable to provide with P2Pool.


Sounds like a feature request.

Now I'm just getting the error message



~/litecoin$ litecoin-qt: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

Hi I'm following the litecoin P2Pool thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62842.0  Everything is fine up to the final command minerd




10- Start P2Pool for Litecoins;

* First, install "litecoin_scrypt" to Python:

Code:
cd ~/p2pool/litecoin_scrypt
sudo python setup.py install

* Start your Litecoin P2Pool:

Code:
screen -d -m -S ltcp2pool ~/p2pool/run_p2pool.py --give-author 0 --net litecoin --bitcoind-rpc-port 9334 --bitcoind-p2p-port 9335 liteuserx nkrt345udsdfjhgjhsdfuyrt78rtTJHRFHTDTYD

* To connect to your Litecoin P2Pool output console:

Code:
screen -x ltcp2pool

* Blocks mined by P2Pool since you're in:

Code:
grep BLOCK ~/p2pool/data/litecoin/log

* Got share!

Code:
grep GOT\ SHARE ~/p2pool/data/litecoin/log


11- Point your miners to your newly Litecoin P2Pool;

Code:
minerd --url http://IP_P2POOL_SERVER:9327/ --userpass ltcminer0:x




Everything is fine up to the final command minerd when I get the following error -


:~/p2pool/litecoin_scrypt$ minerd --url http://IP_P2POOL_SERVER:9327/ --userpass ltcminer0:x
No command 'minerd' found, did you mean:
 Command 'mined' from package 'mined' (universe)
minerd: command not found

I get more hash from my 6850 with intensity 5 then I do 6+, and almost 0 desktop lag.

--gpu-engine 920 --gpu-fan 100 --gpu-memclock 300 --intensity 5

dick!! haha

any way looks like my test rig is just too slow, so ill point my dedicated miner at it and see what happens.

Maybe it is karma for slandering one of the most important technologies to hit Bitcoin since the blockchain.

Your Karma might improve if you change the thread title to something a little more accurate.

No, he means how long has it been mining? And how much Mh/s?

i pointed my guiminer box directly to it and only it... so i would assume 100%

Question about this (getting further)

im trying to connect my guiminer on my gaming rig just to see that it works before i direct my new mining rig at this guy.

never mind about username password.. im seeing something odd.

it appears to work, but no shares are being accepted.. just says


New work for worker! Difficulty: 0.999985 Share difficulty: 538.162112 Total block value: 50.057100 BTC including 41 transactions

did i miss something?

No.  Something is wrong.  What miner?  What miner settings?

To mergedmine NMC with P2Pool on Ubuntu you just enter the following code after changing 'rpcuser' and 'rpcuserpassword'



* Namecoin

Code:
git clone git://github.com/namecoin/namecoin.git
cd ~/namecoin/src/
make -f makefile.unix namecoind
mkdir ~/.namecoin/

Content of ~/.namecoin/bitcoin.conf:

Code:
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=usuarioy
rpcpassword=dasdGfhoiu35BCV47586fgdh234GDFSEG
rpcport=7333

bitcoin-qt has a nasty habit of crashing while using p2pool.  So if you are going to run p2pool, you should use bitcoind.

So im setting this up on my laptop to be my p2pool server...

installed ubuntu server

just wondering.. do i need to install both bitcoind and bitcoin-qt?
