So, after reading this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170863.0

I realized that Litecoin currently has a higher USD transaction than BTC.  This is mainly due to the recent spike in price.  So I was wondering if a lower minimum transaction fee was planned for the next release.  Litecoin is supposed to be more suited for small transactions.  Litecoin should be able to support smaller transactions because the block chain can allow for more transactions.  I don't have a price in mind yet but I think this issue needs to be brought to the table and considered.

It looks like LTC's difficulty just spiked up a little bit. Only 60% more profitable. Still a considerable difference at the current exchange rates.

I posted in another thread but probably will get looked past.

i just fired up my old bitcoin rigs to get solo some lite coins for a few months.

https://i.imgur.com/ZeOLbTU.jpg

is this ok? been on for well over 2 days. plenty of rejects but no blocks found yet.. i ran it all on a pool for about 3-4 hours and got a coin in that time. so the setup should be fine correct? was a bitch to get them going on litecoins . bitcoin much easier to mine.
 but this @ 650w isnt profitable at all..

Solo mining at 1.2mhs at this difficulty... You would be lucky to get a block after 500 rejects.

Your setup is ok. Litecoin blocks are harder to get these days. When I've started, I was solving 1 block/30 min, now it's around 2/day.

How many H/s you getting?

If my 1.2 is too low ill this a go for a week or two, and then just start using a pool if its un sussessful.

i have one of my bitcoin rigs coming back soon and will get about 3.5mh/s.

He would need 20mhs to get 2/day. If he has less than that, its luck.

I see a LOT of people complaining about fees in Litecoin-Qt.

These are early adopters on newbie forums.  I understand when these were worth a few cents the fees prevented the dusting attacks - job accomplished.

Now the value of the LTC has grown to the point that sending 1 LTC makes sense, often we only want to spend $5 or so.

So if there is a 40% or 20% fee on 1 LTC in Litecoin-Qt we just drove away a new adopter and advocate for the currency, it seems worse than a scandalous bank.

PLEASE - this is a small change but REDUCE THIS FEE in light of the value change of one LTC.

Just get a free account at https://miner.ecki.net:444 and create there your personal crypto-currency address for BTC/NMC and/or LTC.
You can trade your currencies in our Exchange as well.
And cashout in Euro, Thai Baht or Australian Dollar.

There's a bug in litecoind version 0.6.3. It says

It seems it has something to do with my computer has IPv6 disabled.
If I enable IPv6 it works.

bitcoind versions 0.6.3 and 0.8.1 don't have this problem.

I pulled today the latest version. Code compiles fine but now I get:

 EXCEPTION: NSt8ios_base7failureE      
CAutoFile::read : end of file      
litecoin in Runaway exception    

I did clean up the ./litecoin directory but I still get the same exception.

I got the same error after upgrading. I even tried clearing the .litecoin folder and re-downloading the blockchain, but kept getting the same error. I had to go back to commit 2170487 and restore the wallet from a backup.

Unfortunately I haven't had the time to investigate the issue, but the problem seems to lie in one of the April 24/25 commits.

EDIT: ali1234 fixed this bug today in commit dda31c7. It should now be safe to use the latest version from the GitHub repository.
Note that if you have run the buggy code you will have to redownload the blockchain.

rrr.. not that again  Huh
