does it really matter  ?

Note all future supprt of Lithium will be on Cryptocointalk
www.cryptocointalk.com
and

The Blake Cryptographic Society
http://blakecrypto.com/

Since this is just an orphan forum and unwanted by the operators of the site who intend it to support bitcoin
we feel this is the right thing to do.

Ok -- Updates to the source code and new binaries are up.

Special thanks again to the core Blake 256 Team for help & pointers and getting us going in all the public and private pools.

Very excited to see we are added to the Blake Trader. That shows a "Whoe Lotta Love" in the Blake Coin Family.

For those asking about exchanges we have not yet asked or submitted
Lithium to voting or submission on any exchanges. In upcoming weeks we will.
Coins that get to the exchange too quickly can just be sold off and we joined this team because it has long term vision.   

We have a link to our website which will go live this week in the first page now.
 
The name Lithium sticks with the Science and Chemistry theme of the other coins.

We will be seeking partnerships with classic video game enthusiasts to start with.

We also have many ideas how to use Lithium along with more contemporary yet unreleased titles.

Stay tuned for updates here, cryptocointalk (once we get added in there) and eventually
our website. 

Thanks for the add -- o.p. updated

Lithium will be seeking to partner with websites and others who want to be introduced to the benefits of the blake 256 system. Many 1st and 3rd party applications (mostly game related) are on the drawing board for lithium. The lithium developers plan to be open to the community on desired features to add/enhance the project and the whole blake 256 syystem.

Lithium  LIT

A new proud member of the Blake 256 Ecosystem   ---NO PREMINE ---- SPECIAL FAIR LAUNCH ---

THE FIRST TWO THOUSAND BLOCKS PAY LESS THAN 1/2 OF ONE COIN TO RAMP UP MINING !!!!

Lithium is forked from Bitcoin reference wallet 0.8.5 more specific-- from Blake Coin + Photon

Lithium is in part based from Photon the first Blake 256 merge mined coin.

Blake-256(optimized) faster than scrypt and faster than sha256 in C (asm is still faster for sha256d)

The algorithm was written as a candidate for sha3, Based on round one candidate code from the sphlib 2.1 and
reduced the compression function to 8.
Tweaks Removed some of the double hashing from the wallet as it is wasteful on compute,
No changes to the ecdsa public/private function as that has proven to be secure so far on bitcoin.

What is Lithium ?

A Blake 256 coin based on Photon but with smaller block awards that will decrease over time.
The Max Lithium to be produced are  25,228,800


The block time is 3 minutes and difficulty can retarget a maximium of 10% every 20 blocks
(5% max until block3500)


48 Lithium are awarded for each block  (NOTE -- BLOCKS 1 THROUGH 1999 AWARD ONLY .48 LITHIUM)


In about 1 year from launch time the award will reduce to 24 Lithium


This reduction will cut in half each year until all Lithium have been produced.

After year five instead of cutting in half from 1.5 to .75 the award changes to 1 LIT per block.

MINING POOLS

If you are currently registered to mine other blake 256 coins you only need to add Lithium to your account

If you are new to the blake 256 merge mining eco system it currently allows the mining of seven coins at one time
with the same hash power.  Each coin is a bit different and there are exact details on the links below to the
pools operated for merged mining.  (Note, this is not switching coins --- you mine all at the same time)


    
    Chiguireitor's Anon Merge Pool                  http://nomp.universalmolecule.co.ve/
    
    BlueDragon747's EU Merged Mining Pool   http://eu3.blakecoin.com/
 
    BlueDragon747's New York Merged Mining Pool  http://ny2.blakecoin.com/

If you want to solo mine vs. merge mine all 7 coins you must set your rpc port to 8984 (not advised)
