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

[grod]

Anyone else confirm/deny my observation of difficulty not going up?  Is the timestamp on the genesis block to blame here or should we be worried?

[bulanula]

Anybody wanna sell me 1000 LTC for 0.01 BTC !?

[coblee]

Is it     "version" : 40100?  Not getting any new code from git pulls.

Sorry, I did not change version number.

Run this:

more src/main.cpp | grep "nHeight == 1500"

Does it give you something? If so, you have the latest code.

We heard you the first time around.

Difficulty won't go up until block 4032. The timestamp from genesis block was more than 3.5 days ago.

[grod]

grep "nHeight == 1500" src/main.cpp
            (nHeight == 1500 && hash != uint256("0x841a2965955dd288cfa707a755d05a54e45f8bd476835ec9af4402a2b59a2967")))

Looks like git is correct.  I updated a few minutes into the mining and got a change.  Good to know.  So, how about that difficulty change (or lack thereof)?

The client seems to be working. My miner is still sad though

Help, anyone?

What block # is your client on?

2113 (2 seconds ago).

make sure you also have 'server=1' in your config file.

Crossed 1k LTC barrier!

agh still 0

how many connections does your daemon have?

Already answered you.

I do.

I'm at 7-8 connections, just hit a kLTC.

Hey Coblee,

Can you please release a locked client on every retarget, starting 2016, then 4032 and so on?
At current difficulty, we have a lot of orphans that make the whole network loose a lot of time.
It's too easy for an attacker with even less than half the hashpower to catch up on his own branch where he gets no orphan blocks.
We need to prop up the security by locking in the retargets until the difficulty went high enough to make it unprofitable to forerun the chain.

I do.

Go back to using port 9332
9333 is the p2p port.

[Bobnova]

So where's the exchange?

[ElectricMucus]

Hmm it's the latency I guess  
The most of the network is in the US and till my work gets there the block is orphaned. crap  

Maybe such a fast network isn't optimal after all...

[bulanula]

Hello Bitcointalk,

I'm back from the dead it appears.

Just wanted to say congrats to Coblee and I will not discuss anything related to Solidcoin in this thread.
This is the official Litecoin Thread and no reason to clutter it.

I have no LTC or have any involvement at all in the dev.

I have not mined Litecoin, yet and when I do I will so without EC2, meaning with real CPU's. I will not mine until the network has achieved diff/hash rate optimum.


Please if you guys want to discuss other topics, let's get with it in the other threads.

Welcome back. Now tell us how much he paid you not to attack his scamchain and why you are so pro-LTC yet so anti Fairbrix. Thanks !

[ripper234]

Go back to using port 9332
9333 is the p2p port.

I switched to 9333 because I saw that the client was just not listening on port 9332, and was getting errors when I was trying to connec tto 9332.

Still, even running the client with gen=1 does not generate, the client is on 0% CPU.

Will do. I can only check in new source and build windows client binary. I need help from twobits for windows daemon binary. But I will try to release at every diff change. Will wait for 4032 for next release.
