[ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched!

[kano]

The 2nd one was for fun, not for this
I've removed it.

[Schwede65]

comparison of hashing speed / LTC:SC
it seems to me like comparing chalk to cheese
the algorithm is different

i have mined both currencies

when i compare my computers-hashing-speed:

core-i7 / win7-pro-64

LTC: 16 KH/s (Pool-shown speed 14 - 18 KH/s)
SC2.0: 60 KH/s (Pool-shown speed ~ 180 KH/s)
SC2.01: 200 KH/s (Pool-shown speed ~ 225 KH/s)

i see a minimum 10 x higher hashing-speed for SC at my comp

now i get the chain-info at http://allchains.info/index.html
sc    0.04578                      
ltc    0.00465    (for comparison x10 = 0,0465)

they are now on equal terms!

but soon there will be gpu-mining possible with SC, then its again chalk and cheese

[Ad]

Not sure how this works, is it so many (Litecoins = one Bitcoin )?
 One would mine at the same time one is mining at the same time one
is mining for bitcoin. Gpu's mining for bitcoin and Cpu's mining for lite coin
 at the same time?
Thanks, Ad

Um - does SC really matter to those interested in LTC?
You posted that here coz why?

At the moment there is only one exchange that supports LTC.
(that will supposedly change in about a week)

So to get a current BTC value for it - reading off the exchange page:
 it's a bit below 1 BTC = 200 LTC but seems to stay around that 0.005 mark.

You can mine them both at the same time
(though that depends on your GPU miner)
With cgminer it hardly uses any CPU, thus CPU mining with an LTC miner, while GPU mining with cgminer works well.

You posted that here coz why?

coz many think, that SC has a huge cpu-network...
i want to put it back into realistic dimensions...
only a few numbers to that discussion

why are you so arrogant and looking down at me?

sometimes its useful to think outside the box...

Thanks. Your information is very helpful.

I'm going to implement auto-worker for "CPU coins" in Coinotron. ATM there are two (SC, LTC), but there will be more. It will be swiching mining programs to the most profitable coin at given time.

It would be nice if AMD owner posted similiar comparison for AMD.

The point is to avoid turning this thread into a LTC / SC argument.
Don't need it here at all.

ok...
i had a discussion with coblee on PM and he wrote:
"Please post your findings in the Litecoin thread so people are aware of this."

you may ignore this and go back into your box
i am mining/have mined both and im interested in both, whats wrong with it?
you think i am the only one who does so?

[Matoking]

So I've been working on a simple GUI wrapper for cpuminer.



Any interest?

I guess my awesome coin design didn't make the cut.  Oh well.  You'll rue the day! *shakes fist*

Well, you didn't provide a litecoin address.
But if you really consider your logo an honest attempt, give me your litecoin address and I will give you a reward. I mean, from the looks of it, you did spend some time creating it.

Bwuahaha, no it wasn't an honest attempt at a coin design - just an attempt to conjure a few laughs.

[coblee]

is there a list of pools for this chain?

I like your coin design because it makes me laugh every time I look at it and this is good, straight from hart.
Honestly, no bullshit.

[ElectricMucus]

i did do a short test on a machine to see if this can run together w/ bitcoin mining, is impossible because of opencl bug that use allot of cpu 

Yeah, you can still use the remaining cores though.

Use affinity to restrict BTC miner(s) to a single core.  Then run LTC miners on the other cores.

been looking into that, is there a (simple) way to set affinity in win 7?
