Anarchic p2p Litecoin Market Portal

Litecoin Market

To use, you must download and install the free Osiris Serverless Portal System software.  http://www.osiris-sps.org/

When you have Osiris running in the background, click the Litecoin Market link above and join the portal.

The board is anarchic, meaning that there isn't a moderator or anyone else who can censor your posts without recourse.  The forum will take its shape on a reputation system, meaning users with high reputations will have their content confirmed by the system, while users with bad reputations will find their contributions naturally ousted.  Censors and attackers will naturally receive bad reputations and any changes they make will automatically revert back, or so this seems to be what Osiris is advertising.

Additionally, the system is anonymous, meaning that individual users can't be traced to individual IP addresses.  This is what Osiris is claiming.  I am not knowledgeable enough to know if this is actually the case.

We have Litecoins.  Let's see if we can get a market going where they might actually be worth something!

Why make it harder for someone to join a Litecoin market by making them install portal software first?

Is it because of the nature of this particular LTC market? (Anarchic?)

Just Curious, thanks.

Started using litecoin today, will check this out.

It is currently devoid of life.

It is actively mined, from what I've been reading in the Litecoin forum.

And actively traded on BTC-E and Vircurex.

Has Coblee given up the ghost on LTC?

I didn't mean LTC, I meant this board.

3 reasons.  1 - It cannot be shut down.  2 - According to the Osiris developers, it is semi-anonymous, where IP addresses cannot be connected to any particular user.  3 - The nature of the board is that it is created by the users, where good content is kept and bad content is purged according to a semi-democratic system.

Now I understand, thanks for clarifying.

Could you point me to a thread/link that has min specs for a decent Litecoin mining PC/rig?
Bit of a novice here who wants to join the LTC pool.
Thanks in advance!

There's a wiki page, but it needs to be updated.
https://github.com/coblee/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison

Roughly, this is the expected performance for today's 64-bit CPUs:

• AMD K8-based processors (e.g. Athlon 64) do about 1 khash/s per GHz per core.
• AMD K10-based processors (e.g. Phenoms and recent Semprons) yield about 1.8 khash/s per GHz per core.
• Early Intel Core 2 processors give about 2.1 khash/s per GHz per core.
• More recent Intel Core processors can go up to 3 khash/s per GHz per core.
• A Playstation 3 can do 34 khash/s (total) using the Cell/BE optimized miner by ssvb.

A list of mining pools is available here:

(OzCoin is temporarily down for server upgrade, they will be back soon.)

Just to add i7-2600k @4.8 running 6 threads 35KHash I have not tried 8 treads.
