Can we see the development changes on a branch in github?

I don't have many LTC, but I can help code.

I don't have many LTC, but I can help code.

Code will go public after:
1) bitcoin-0.8.2 final is released.
2) I fix a few more bugs.  Currently we have 17+ test failures and a few missing tests.
3) I do a clean rebase of all the patches on top of bitcoin-0.8.2, to erase all the aborted commits, making the code easier to understand and maintain in the future.
4) After public beta testing indicates that this isn't dangerous.for mainnet.
5) At that point the code will go on github for public code review.  People can submit pull requests and our team will review and comment your patches for merit.

Currently some of the top donors are in the QA team, heavily testing binary builds based on 0.8.2rc3.  It is especially important for the big pool owners to make sure their custom pool software is compatible with the new litecoind under simulated heavy load.

I will donate about 12 LTC when I get home tomorrow minus the 3+ ltc tx fee from all of my p2pool mining dust this month

I hope at some point something is worked out to help with wallet dust consolidation in the coming releases

Read this thread to learn how to combine your dust into larger coins with zero fee.  I don't recommend the "Dust Settler" that the guy is trying to sell in that thread as it is new and nobody audited it.

You may also want to wait until the new lower fee kicks in, which might be in a few weeks.  I will post soon the fee transition plan.

While I know I haven't yet built up a reputation here, I've reviewed the sources for the "dust settler".  It's a sound concept, but I'm not happy with his implementation, nor his "forced" donation (which is tucked away in his version of the bitnet client dll).  I'm currently developing a similar application which I'll be publishing (with full sources) within the next week.

• aspect fixed up the artwork and splash layout.
• weex found that we are currently failing 17 tests.  We are also missing Litecoin specific tests that need to be written.
• warren is investigating the hang during shutdown bug that affects both Bitcoin and Litecoin.
• Heavy testing on testnet is going on this week.  You can help by running 0.6.x nodes on testnet, mining and creating as much spam transactions as possible.  Connect your testnet node to this node, and you can also get some testnet coins from here.  http://testnet.litecointools.com  You can run your own testnet diagnostic panel very easily with aspect's https://github.com/cryptotron/testnet

This thread is stickied? Why? Will every alt coin get a sticky if they make a development fundraising request? If not, why is a moderator deciding which coin who they may have a personal stake in is "worthy" of having a sticky?

I actually hold LTC.

Glad to see this, donation sent.
Looking at the current number of donations.. thought LTC community was way bigger!

Compare to other alts, LTC is much bigger, eg in WDC they managed a donate of 5WDC after a general call out.
