Is that right. The first link passes you onto the National Vulnerability Database, who find no record of the number.
I am sure you're right, what in layman's terms is it?
I have taken two bitcoin clones (9x) past the 1 million block point.
But anyway, the point is if he wants to learn putting him n BTC 10x is hard work. The early manuals were written for 8.6 (I/m certain). They give a good starting point. They sadly make a few mistakes, but it is a good starting point. In itself 8.6 is too outdated, it does not even have a getnetworkhashps call.
I have an even better one than spots has if you are talking scrypt. The link is on my other computer. But you fill the values in and a source is spat out (it looked okay to me, and it compiled). I have no need of litecoin clone so went no further.
I will find the link and post it. The site could be gone, though.
