After my initial luck finding 7 blocks, I've got nothing in the last 16 hours.

i7-3770K stock settings, 8 cores, 160-200 PPS while I'm using the PC for browsing.

Sunny King: how's this going so far from your point of view?

I might be wrong as I don't what your laptop is but I'd imagine it contains an M version of the i7 processor.

I must be lucky today, I got 3 in the last 40 minutes!

6 total in the last 9 hours, even my laptop grabbed one with 85 PPS.

Yes that's right it's 2^2048 so a bit bigger

PPS down to 149 on my stock i7-3770K now but 2nd block (19.78) found in 4 hours!

i5 Mobile at about 85 PPS for 2 hours and nothing so far.

2 hours in and I've mined my first block, 19.85 XPM

I didn't even have to stop my Photoshop editing either so my PPS was averaging about 160-180 while I was working.

Yes I see it's reached 250 already, I've not overclocked it. Only been at it an hour now.

I've roped in my laptop to help too, on the hottest day of the year so far :p

PPS 100-130 on an i7-3770K.

I've set all cores while I'm doing nothing else other than browsing for the last 30 minutes now.

Nice idea and I love the fairness. I'll join in and see what happens

This is indeed very big. It's exactly what we were looking for, to get into the same market as MPESA. Thanks for the share.

Well predicted

Me, I pulled my sell just above that. This is after all exactly the drop I've been expecting since $130.

I'm loathe to try to trade the next one though, unless it's clear it's an avalanche.

*enters the room wild-eyed, clothes ripped and gasping for air*

Did you not hear my cries for help?! I was stuck in that damn BTC-e trollbox for 4 weeks. 4 whole weeks dammit!

I felt like Stephen Hawking in a classroom full of prepubescent windowlickers, all of them trying to stab each other in the back for a $20 profit.

No amount of money is worth suffering that again, I'll trade LTC once it hits Gox and not a moment sooner.

My sanity, oh my precious sanity.

Oh, I like what you've done with the furniture...

*wanders off*

Another good reason why cryptocurrencies are superior. They are notorious, especially around weekends, their cash machines suddenly stop working!

Fortunately my wife and I have different banks.

My only comment would be that sometimes he seems like a bad father, coming home drunk and slaps his kids about a bit to make up for all the punishment that he should have meted out during the day :p

Ie. people get away with racism, swearing, manipulation etc. and then suddenly Koolio will show up and ban the last person he saw say "LOL".

It's great. It's like being back at school.

BTCe has no credibility whatsoever.

Edit: paid a bit more attention. He (you, if you read this Koolio), slaps down anyone with anything critical to say of Feathercoin but no others.

This makes me really very wary. Once LTC is on Gox I'll be glad to say goodbye to BTCe forever.

Probably late to the party but this looks interesting. If you haven't launched I'm all for helping you beta test.

What can I say? I'm a necromantic kind of guy :p Good old Google ranks your post highly for "Mt Gox announcement"

To add my view to this thread which I missed first time round anyway:

I ditched Gox during during the bad news period, kept most of my coins in cold storage and left just play money on BTCe for day trades. Now, Gox can have my business back when they can handle the volume and take a look at their commision fee. LTC would be a bonus and it has a stabilising effect on BTC, just look at BTCe: LTC and FTC along with a 0.2% fee act as counterweights stopping BTC from doing some of the crazy things it does on Gox.

I'm not happy with BTCe though, I really do not trust it 100% though perversely it is much more robust than Gox. The whole trollbox thing, though blockable lends the site an air of immaturity, not so much an exchange as a god-damn rowdy schoolroom.

Clearly, if and when LTC floats on Gox, the long-term effect will be that it will be seen as a legitimate altcoin, presented to a much wider audience (Wired UK's Litecoin article yesterday already seemed to bump the price a little). The price may and probably will do some crazy things in the first day or so but will soon act as a nice hedge against BTC's wilder excesses without needing to cash back out to fiat every time there's a BTC plunge.

I like LTC, it clearly has its advantages over BTC especially in a retail context. The price seems to have bottomed out recently and is looking like a great buy especially with BTC being so flat as ASIC miner dumping continues.

So, hopefully the next announcement will be more than announcing an announcement!

'A few' would suggest at least both of those, hopefully.

I do like this a lot. Of course everyone's algorithm to find a spot on the sentiment continuum will differ but it's always nice to have well-presented data
