We need a more pro-active mod.  Someone who will ban threads not directly related to "Alternate currencies".  Ban thread that sell mining equipment, that advertise gambling sites, and ban abusive posters for instance.

Forget depositing some crap coin.  I withdrew a significant amount if bitcoin and it has been stuck in a "Processing" status for HOURS!  Assume until further notice that this exchange is not releasing your funds.

Finally got my money.  Slow ass bstards.

Even the Cryptsy Bitbar bid price is much higher than the price shown.  sal002 will fix eventually.

Where do you edit that code? I'll compile it on linux and test it right away, have 10Mh to throw at it so should be tested within an hour.
file main.cpp, change "int rand = generateMTRandom(seed, 100000);" to "int rand = 50001;".
It will quite obviously not work, for the reasons I explained, but you're welcome to try Wink

ps: BTC tips appreciated, see signature, thanks.

As I said before I did this at launch.  It did not work.  I found two blocks and they were both rejected by the network.

this idiot uses a simple random number generator to determie block rewards. guess what happens when i remove that and just return max block reward instead?

i will be posting an altered client that gets 5k coin rewards every time, in the next hour or so. this coin is trash and needs to die.

Actually that doesn't look possible:

Code:
const char* cseed = prevHash.ToString().substr(8,7).c_str();
long seed = hex2long(cseed);

int rand = generateMTRandom(seed, 100000);

if(rand > 30000 && rand < 35001)
nSubsidy = 188 * COIN;
else if(rand > 70000 && rand < 71001)
nSubsidy = 588 * COIN;
else if(rand > 50000 && rand < 50011)
nSubsidy = 5888 * COIN;

The seed is based on the previous hash, hence it might be open to some kind of attacks, but "just changing the function" should not work.
Unless he botched badly block verification, of course.

I changed the function at launch to just give me 5888 coins.  Found two blocks, both rejected by the network.  Nope, can't cheat it this way. Smiley

What is the reasoning behind having a coin release with a sub 1 difficulty in todays day and age?  
Short answer is:  If you clone litecoin code with minimal changes then you have to mine the genesis block _with a CPU_ at difficulty one.  That's going to potentially take a long time.  Therefore you have to add code to immediately raise the difficulty at block two or shortly after.  Which appears to be the case here.
How long is a long time approx.? Say, if an 8 core proc was used. I'm not looking for exact.
I really don't know what a cpu can do at mining scrypt and therefore the approx. time, but AFAIK the code can only use one cpu to mine the genesis block.

This chart:

http://www.coinchoose.com/charts.php

Shows that Litecoin comprises 28% of all crypto-currency mining.  You can't ignore a market share like that.  Litecoin should be must in any exchange's trading pair.

Trucoin no offense meant by this but if you really want liquidcoin to take off again (i do!) then you need to stop commenting on its posts and working on it. Back off, no one is going to mine or take seriously a coin which is spam-touted by someone who is widely regarded as a conartist.

Why is everyone being so negative about this coin? Fair enough if there was something stupid about it or if it was just another clonecoin, but i saw a decent amount of innovation in the quick difficulty adjustments based on network hash rates - am i the only one that read that in the OP? Depending on more information and how exactly it works - the good thing about it is that it would stop certain people with massive hash rates from dominating the early few hours of the coin. Meaning there would be much less of a pre-mine effect - am i wrong here?
I love this coin.  It has great possibilities.  Great possibilities for mischief.   Wink
