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

[dvdrewritable]

I have problem with the mining feature of the new client, solo looks ok but pool seems to be having issues.

Try to copy the contents of https://github.com/downloads/coblee/litecoin/litecoin-windows-miner-10-10-2011.zip into the same dir as litecoin client before starting pooled mining

If it's still not working, please select 'debug logging' on mining menu and post the output here

The new wiki on github is up: http://litecoin.info
Please help me populate the wiki. There's still some old stuff on the old wiki that needs to be moved over: http://46.253.203.113/litecoininfo/index.php?title=Main_Page
It would be awesome if people can help so I can focus on coding.

Any progress on that JavaScript Miner? =D

I hope botnet users get caught sooner or later
But if a large coporate user sets his power to litecoin you can see a huge change in difficulty
A friend of me has a enormous cpu power set at some boinc projects, if he would change that onto coin mining that would give a shock with that enormous clusters he has.
I sure enough will not bring him on the idea, 1500 multi cpu blade server machines would hurt a lot

I could dump thousands of CPUs onto litecoin via a supercomputing grid... but the loss from losing my job and the likelihood that I'd never be able to get another one in the IT industry would probably negate any potential profit I'd make through LTC.

@MrGaSp:
I've sent mail to owner of bitcoinplus.com , now waiting for response.
You can try to contact him too - the more of us requesting JS LTC miner the better

@coblee:
Realtime mining pool hashrates: http://bit.ly/hashrate doesn't work...
I would help with wiki but my english is not good and I never worked on wiki

I think right now the answer is no. I'm trying to do something with it, but honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I haven't played with C in...years, and haven't touched JS at all. I almost exclusively use Java (fortunately JS and C are relatively close) but I can't even tell what I'm supposed to be using sCrypt on. Seems not to be much documentation, or I'm just missing it all / stupid.

I did find a Java implementation of sCrypt I'm playing with now, but still just trying to wrap my head around it.

Well i've been there before.. Well good luck and i look forward to anyone who finishes one.

be nice if we can get a PS3 miner for this. Would shake things up signifcantly.

Yeah, this stuff is WAY over my head. May just start working on the game -- that stuff I have a better understanding of.

Wow, hashrate's just gone up by like 50% within the day. Do I sense people moving from TaxCoin to LiteCoin?

Yea i noticed that too...its great that we're getting some decent power... ..*adds more threads to miners*

"Taxcoin" ... I love it.

No you see god damn botnets back again.

Lol, that's another possibility indeed

What is the fastest miner for LiteCoin right now? If theres any difference, for an AMD system

k10fam with sse, 64 bit

It even beats every Intel miner that's out there on Intel processors. Credit to twobits.

And you can have ~20% more hashing power on Ubuntu live

Thank you, thats a lot faster

No that is what is happening there is at least two of them one 2.5mh/s and the other 1.2-3mh/s in size I have seen them join and leave many times in the past while, although usually a little later in the day. Most times it would be couple of hour from now then they leave after 6-8 hours so it may even be someone in large company getting the overnight action on normally down machines in a large business not actual botnets. Anyways in long run it is going to screw us as they keep upping the diff higher than it normally should be for the regular miner and getting the majority of the coins while doing it then they dump 30-40k in coins on the exchange at once when done with their mining crashing the price.

Welcome to CPU coins.
Told y'all so.
