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

[coblee]

The miner you are given doesn't have required files, keep on saying that libe is missing, this lib is missing ....
How many version or times, i have to download windows client & windows daemon.
Its seems more than 4-5 times downloaded & now dont even know which is the correct version & which i have to run.

Hrm.  One more try for the windows guys, this time linking static?

I reported this problem earlier, you need to download libstdc++-6.dll and libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and put them in the daemon's folder.
I downloaded mine from mingw, it took some time, you might also find them on google (I don't know a trusted site except mingw).

You need these 2 for the miner? Please upload yours to mediafire.com and I will add them to the miner zip file.

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.

I have had similar problems.

Everything was fine with testnet, but problems happened after widows updated.

Wonder if something with that is blocking it.

The problem for me was a corrupt conf file, downloaded from the first post (probablly unix-style newlines).

To fix, just create a fresh conf file with the values you need. coblee, please put this info in the first post or fix the conf file.

My jsut sites their with 8 connections and says Catching up Downloaded 119 blocks, last d/l block was 2 hours ago.

I have cleared it all and started over, and still get the same response, even after sitting for 15 mins, another on the same network is working fine.

Download a newer client (find latest post by coblee with the client ... watch out, there were several  released today).

Looks like ti is working now.

I thought I had kept up with all the releases, guess i missed one

Thanks

BTW, still, nobody is willing to send me a test donation of 0.01 LTC? 0.001?
Just want to make sure it works, I'm mining but haven't found a block yet.

Thanks to everyone, I now have 0.121 LTC, the donation stream can stop.
Now I just need to mine ... damn, this was so easy on testnet

Guys, if I'm seeing "proof of work result: true", does it mean not an orphan?
I saw a couple of falses, a couple of trues, and nothing in my wallet except donations.

Nope, doesn't mean that at all.  It just means it wasn't stale.  You can run litecoind listtransactions to see how much money you're missing out on. =)

It means that the proof-of-work is valid, but the block can still be orphaned if someone reports finding it before you. This should settle down once the difficulty goes up.

'True! Yaaay' means you found a block.  Being orphaned comes after that.

Are you using the gui? Just go to the 'transactions' tab.  Mined blocks will show as that "Mined"

As I said, using the UI I'm not seeing coins, so I figured that I didn't successful mine.

So what does result:false mean?

False means you submitted a stale share, as in the block you were working on had already been solved, thus your submissions is 'false'.

[grod]

This is exciting.  Should be coming up on our second retarget opportunity, let's see if difficulty gets sane enough that this 90% stale and 90% orphaned stuff settles down...

[soptik]

I'm getting sometimes mined block with "?" state. What does it mean?

[3phase]

I don't know why everyone is getting this number of orphans. I only got 45% orphans since 3:05AM GMT.

Daemon at a Public IP address with 19 peers connected currently.

Diff just changed
0x1e03ffff (0.00097655)

[grod]

And boom!  After retarget I mined 2 blocks, both are being confirmed.  I'm on my way to being a litecoin bazillionare!

Well it stops at  8 connections for me.
only orphans

also the network latency seems to be an issue, if you are in Europe you're apparently screwed..

[grod]

Could be re: latency.  Although I'm like 6 miles and 1 hop from Level3's headquarters, so if this is mostly a northam thing I should be good to go -- yet I wasn't.

In other exciting news networkhashps is now estimated at 1400 khash.  After 3 hours we're where tenebrix was after a week!  If this keeps up we may have our proof whether a six year founder premine affects adoption rate or not.

I just checked in code to lock in block 4032 after diff change.
Please grab latest source. Windows client coming soon.
