that has been helpfull. thank you.

update: i went back to mining and found 4 more blocks, and 2 were orphaned. i think im might be done with litecoins if i'm getting this many orphaned blocks

2nd update: mining at litecoinpool.org now. seems like a better option to pool mine than risk losing rewards of 50 ltc.
