[ANN] LITHIUM (LIT) - NO PREMINE - BLAKE 256 - MERGE MINED -- HOT NEW COIN --

[lithiumc]

Lithium  LIT

A new proud member of the Blake 256 Ecosystem   ---NO PREMINE ---- SPECIAL FAIR LAUNCH ---

THE FIRST TWO THOUSAND BLOCKS PAY LESS THAN 1/2 OF ONE COIN TO RAMP UP MINING !!!!

Lithium is forked from Bitcoin reference wallet 0.8.5 more specific-- from Blake Coin + Photon

Lithium is in part based from Photon the first Blake 256 merge mined coin.

Blake-256(optimized) faster than scrypt and faster than sha256 in C (asm is still faster for sha256d)

The algorithm was written as a candidate for sha3, Based on round one candidate code from the sphlib 2.1 and
reduced the compression function to 8.
Tweaks Removed some of the double hashing from the wallet as it is wasteful on compute,
No changes to the ecdsa public/private function as that has proven to be secure so far on bitcoin.

What is Lithium ?

A Blake 256 coin based on Photon but with smaller block awards that will decrease over time.
The Max Lithium to be produced are  25,228,800


The block time is 3 minutes and difficulty can retarget a maximium of 10% every 20 blocks
(5% max until block3500)


48 Lithium are awarded for each block  (NOTE -- BLOCKS 1 THROUGH 1999 AWARD ONLY .48 LITHIUM)


In about 1 year from launch time the award will reduce to 24 Lithium


This reduction will cut in half each year until all Lithium have been produced.

After year five instead of cutting in half from 1.5 to .75 the award changes to 1 LIT per block.

SETUP

No .conf file should be necessary to get started: The client will connect to the network when started

Mining is available through the public merged pools

MINING POOLS

If you are currently registered to mine other blake 256 coins you only need to add Lithium to your account

If you are new to the blake 256 merge mining eco system it currently allows the mining of seven coins at one time
with the same hash power.  Each coin is a bit different and there are exact details on the links below to the
pools operated for merged mining.  (Note, this is not switching coins --- you mine all at the same time)


    
    Chiguireitor's Anon Merge Pool                  http://nomp.universalmolecule.co.ve/
    
    BlueDragon747's EU Merged Mining Pool   http://eu3.blakecoin.com/
 
    BlueDragon747's New York Merged Mining Pool  http://ny2.blakecoin.com/
    
    BlueDragon747's Los Angeles Merged Mining Pool  http://la1.blakecoin.com/

Additional Technical Details

more nodes if necessary

addnode=66.172.12.77
addnode=108.61.242.204

If you want to solo mine vs. merge mine all 7 coins you must set your rpc port to 8984 (not advised)

No premine is alwaya a good thing

[Shadow_Runner]

Can someone provide config for nvidia?
I'm getting this hashrate with GTX 770, I think it's low, coz I had radeon 270x with much better hashrate Blake256.



cudaminer.exe -a blake -l K1024x32

Yeah, but unfortunately block reward isn't rich now.  

[shimlbit]

2k blocks with low reward are a good thing...miners have enough time to jump in!

were at 1082

With my hashrate it's not much sense on this diff.
Good luck to big hashes. 

[shimlbit]

i got only 40 coins until now^^
only a 270x^^

[Shadow_Runner]

270x has around 1.3 Gh/s?

[shimlbit]

1.375 gh/s at the point

[Shadow_Runner]

Yeah, I remember something like this. Too bad nVidia is poor for Blake, but ok for other things not only mining. 

[shimlbit]

i was able to mine since block 600 thats why i have less coins

how much hash did u have??

ya if u dont use the gpus only for mining nvidia is very good
but suxx at mining^^

Look at screenshot I've posted (around 220 mh/s).
285.12 / 0.48 = 594 blocks mined by me.
Wish I had better hashrate at launch.  

[shimlbit]

oh wow u was early in

wished i was a little earlier than 600blocks..but its ok..

if u got more hash at start we wont have this diff now and we were much over 2k blocks right^^

Maybe you're right. So it may be called ~ fair start. 

[Edacra]

It doesn't let me start mining, I use cgminer and nothing happens

Config + conf file? There is no extrasenses.  

[Edacra]

Nice coin !

[BlueDragon747]

currently merge mining BLC+PHO+BBTC+XDQ+ELT+UMO+LIT

http://ny2.blakecoin.com/
http://la1.blakecoin.com/
http://cg1.blakecoin.com/

working on http://eu3.blakecoin.com/ now should also be merge mining in 10-15 mins

for setting just edit cgminer.conf with your details can also tweak the intensity to 10/11 for best result

here is example of cgminer.conf

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://cg1.blakecoin.com:3334",
		"user" : "Username.worker",
		"pass" : "WorkerPass"
	}
],

"intensity" : "10",
"auto-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"log" : "5",
"no-restart" : true,
"queue" : "3",
"scan-time" : "30",
"worksize" : "256",
"temp-hysteresis" : "4",
"blake256" : true,
"vectors" : "1",
"no-submit-stale": true,
"kernel-path" : "/"
}

yeah cuda performance is not great

is there any tutor for mining ? i was newbie for mining
