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

[froggy]

I've just noticed that although http://litecoin.org is looking nice,  http://www.litecoin.org shows the tenebrix home page - me is confused.

They need to fix the redirect in the .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.litecoin.org$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^litecoin.org$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.www.litecoin.org/$1 [R=301]

Uh, why was the website redirecting to tenebrix in the first place?

Tennebrix, Fairbrix and Litecoin were all closely developed together by the same people.

terrytibbs helped me with the Litecoin homepage. He also worked on the Tenebrix homepage. They are all served from the same machine I think.

Correct. The Tenebrix and Litecoin websites are on the same host. I will remedy the issue first thing in the morning.

BCX: I don't use Apache, and it will deeply sadden me if you do. Thank you for the nice rewrite condition, though.

[terrytibbs]

Apache or not, you need a forced non www redirect to avoid the duplicate content penalties.

Yes, I just happened to screw up when updating my configuration files in preparation for the Litecoin Wiki launch. That's why it redirects to the Tenebrix website, it still catches the www.

But hey, a little publicity sure couldn't hurt Tenebrix right now, eh?

You really need to do something about your scammer label (for instance transfer it to CH ).
That looks pretty bad that the guy who is maintaining Tenebrix and Litecoin sites is flagged as a scammer.
All that because of a quarrel about a minor dealing...
What about refunding your angry and revengeful customer, to buy back some respectabity on the forum?

[ElectricMucus]

Is the exchange operating? Because I just mined my first block which got a transaction fee! 

[mrx]

Pool is back online now.

Stats are updated every 15 minutes, so check it out again. We have found about 10 blocks as of right now!



In the pool, the target is fixed, so those founds, are shares, not blocks.

Could you tell me how did you fix the target thing? I always get

Code:

"target":"0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000a13060000000"

on my pushpoold.

Established Bitcoin Pool opens Litecoin mining pool
lc.ozco.in is now accepting Litecoin shares.
payment will be proprtional 0fee and include TXN fees .
still ironing a few bugs out, changing website to reflect LC not BTC and looking for 1st block
come check us out

of course we are still mining BTC at ozco.in and soon us.ozco.in

Refunds are out of the question.

If there is a unanimous decision for me to stop being involved in the hosting of this project, I will without hesitation do so.

[ryannathans]

Pool is coming along nicely, quite a few blocks now, growing quickly!

Looking to pick up some more hash

How many pools are there? Is there a pools page?

Did you sign up first at the web site http://184.107.145.244 with your Litecoin number?

yes I have signed up before...

if I start with
./litecoin-qt
for solo mining
->
how do I see that there is something going on?

If you're gonna solomine, you'll need to use either a third-party miner like Lolcust's Tenebrix Miner, or ArtForz's fork of cpuminer. Alternatively, you can add gen=1 to your litecoin.conf, or launch Litecoin with the -gen flag. If your CPU-usage goes up to about 100%, it's probably mining.
