Oh, just forgot to mention a problem, that when coin becomes CPU (people say after N=12), coin become a target of botnets and their dumps.
At current price I'm mining about 2 LTC/day with 4 gpu's its profitable to mine so I don't see the network dieing
No problem now. But if 1000 coins/block with same hashrate and price? If hashrate is still so low as now, price should rise for 60x. But then you get more miners and you mine even less...
I coninue to investigate the trouble with connection.
Now I have stable 1 active connection and blockchain is syncronized!
I use your "Specailly compiled" version with no config file (there is no config file at all).
So I dont know what exactly did you change, but It give me one working connection (I suspect it is your node with the same compiled version).
Usualy problem is with config file! Don't use it if you don't need it!
I usualy don't solo mine, and that's why I usualy don't make config file and wallets still work.
Try without config file. If no connection, go to help-debug-console and type: addnode 84.251.34.142 add
You also don't need to specify port.
This allways works for me.
Oh, and minersbest not working now.
