Hey guys,
at the request of SRoulette im writing here my situation
OS: win 7 x64 Pro
1. I downloaded and installed the PHP from the link on the first page disabling web components or what it said in the first post
2. Downloaded jsonrpcclient.php from jsonrpcphp.org - extracted the lite version and took the jsonrpcclient.php from where it was and i placed it in the C:\ directory
3. Created a text file in which I pasted the bot code on the first page called bot.txt in C:\
4. Closed my terracoin client, added my settings in a terracoin.conf file
5. cmd.exe > ran Z:\Terracoin> terracoin-qt.exe -server -datadir=Z:\Terracoin - terracoin started just fine, no errors
6. changed the settings in bot.txt to match user, pw, port fron terracoin conf and saved it as bot.api and bot.php (same file, different extensions) also in C:\
7. cmd.exe > ran cd \
8. cmd.exe > PHP bot.api - enter -> output C:\> (it thinks for a sec or two)
9. then tried cmd.exe> PHP bot.php - same output...
also noteworthy to say is that i do have xampp installed on my pc, but i disabled all services, including apache.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
armodar

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Litecoin Windows gadget which displays LTC and currency amounts
domchi cool app but please make the gadget truly international:
my OS is in german and did not recognise the gadget until i changed the en-US script folder in de-DE
so please create identical folders like en-US for all major distributions for windows7, those are:
en-US
de-DE
et
fr-FR
it-IT
ro
pt-PT
sk
pl
sv-SE
es-ES
Cheers,
Armodar
EDIT: seems to be an update issue, for some reason on my pc it just does not update the stats

Thank you for your balanced reply SasQuatch,
By no means I can compare my idea to microsoft, it was just an analogy for you to get what were my reasons.
I own a business in rl so I know at least to some extent how to plan my resources (but I cannot be that naive or that overconfident to say this cannot fail).
I also did not say anything about profits... please mind I only talked percentages, e.g. 50% out of 0 profit would still be 0
And as to why would I not try to code this on my own? Because i value my time far more than that: instead of me spending 10 hours on coding a single piece using google, someone else could potentially do it in 10 minutes with far more optimized code. I cannot and do not want to compete with people that do this for a living.
I respect the fact that everyone is better at something, and I would be a fool not to use people's strenghts instead of their weaknesses (thus said, my weakness in this case is coding and my strength is "seeing something happen before it happens")
Instead, i am willing to give up a (big) chunk of my profit to someone (mind you, not anyone) willing to take the chance (like the lottery, you spend, you spend, you spend - just to get that one chance in 50 million to win - just that here the chances are a lot higher and you can influence the result
).

Think of it as 20% profit to the developer (though, if you truly expect success, a flat sum paid for the work involved gives the programmer more confidence)

wouldn't you have liked 35% of microsoft (hey! no one knew what will happen) instead of 50.000 $ back in the 80's?
And I am sorry, but I personally would not invest any amount of work in a business where I will get a flat pay when that business can profit after my work forever. Besides think how bad it is for me: I pay a guy 100 coins (as example), he does the work and then he leaves....he has no interest in staying to further improve and work on the idea. 100 coins later, he takes off and I am where I started. I need a partner not an employee.
...the rest into operating costs. Server, bandwidth, advertisements, support, oh shit fund, etc. If you end up with a large operating fund, you can either expand or have bonuses (to yourself or anyone operating with you).
Operating costs are minimal. Although I appreciate the feedback and arguments, an internet based business has some pretty low maintenance costs.
Besides, I do not see the point of you making up some percentages to suit your individual preferences when you have no idea about what the business is all about.
I do some web programming, but I've got absolutely no idea whether I want to be involved in this. And there is no way in hell I'll sign an NDA.
Please tell me why you left this reply in the first place then? I fail to see the point.
Ideas are a dime a dozen.
Thank you for sharing your oppinion.
Sorry if i come out harsh,
but CryptoFreak33, you said you are a business owner yourself, now how would you feel if you would get a good idea, write it down and then let it loose with no control over it?
It is nothing personal, just protecting myself from people I don't know or trust...
Just yesterday I learned my lesson not to trust people I don't know well, so - sadly, the NDA is mandatory.
But you can relax, the NDA only has to do with my idea, businessplan, sketches and so on and it is not a full fledged Industry ban, meaning you can work, develop and deploy solutions that would come in direct competition with this plan - you are just not allowed to integrate any proprietary ideas or solutions.
Again, sorry to make it so serious - but I don't know who will I deal with.

You need to give more info, 35% of your buiness is meaningless uless we know what your business is. Also, how do we know this is fair unless we know your contribution?
Okay,
my contribution is coming up with the whole business idea in the first place. Without the idea there are no winnings.
Secondly I have the server.
Third I will take care of calculations/optimizations - just not the implementation.
More information please.
More info is available if you sign a NDA with my organization.
As a general oppinion: this is not a job - this is a venture capital: you have a risk factor in it. It might or might not work, but only the few that are willing to take the chance can get something ("you can only win the lottery if you play it")
Hello everyone!
I started on gathering data and setting up my VPS for a small private pool.
Because the difficulty on LTC mining is pretty modest now, it makes sense that people should try solo mining as they can be extremely lucky.
But most of the poeple lack very fast hardware to make solo mining appealing (myself included) so this is what I am offering:
- space for 5 people
- every person should have 1 or more miners that should not exceed (in total) 250-350 kH/s
- fully proportional shares
- 1% fee to keep the server going
- users have pooled luck, e.g. your luck adds up with the other 5 people
- every time someone finds a block , your average payout will be roughly 10 LTC
- at current difficulty and at 300 kH/s average for 5 people an the expected rate per block is 6.5 hours (http://www.litecoinpool.org/calc?hashrate=1500&difficulty=8.14419487) - so basically same normal expectancy every single individual would have, but with 5x the luck
Short FAQ:
Why the 250-350 kH/s limitation?
I own a 6870 that does approx. 300 kH/s - and I would like to have people with similar speeds so we can have similar payouts. That is a problem with the big pools that offer proportional payout, your proportion is tiny.
Why the 5 people limitation?
I want to have some sort of nice prize when someone discovers a block. With 5 people with roughly the same proportions you would get 10 LTC.
1% Fee? Why?
Well I might not be a linux expert, but I did spend quite a little time on this to make it happen. Plus I am hosting the server, don't i deserve anything?
Why not solo mine?
Well, at roughly 300 kH/s (the target group for this pool), if you have bad luck, you could mine for a week and not get anything, or you could mine for 1 hour and get 10 blocks (seriously doubtful). This pool just adds up all the luck of these 5 people and gives back a very nice bounty every time someone from the 5 discovers a block.
Will there be more slots open in the future for other people?
I cannot give a definite answer, but I figure with the difficulty increasing, I would consider accepting more people with 250-350 kH/s speeds.
When will I get paid?
Being a private and small pool, I can only guarantee payment after 120 confirmations (when I get the 50 LTC myself), otherwise I'm running myself into the ground.

Hello people!
The Plan
I currently have a business plan set up in place for a, what I would call - opportunistic business. The plan was reviewed, modified and improved by 3 people since I created it.
I will not discuss now details about the business because that would erode my chances of succesfully launching it but I will mention the basics.
The profile - Developer
I am looking for someone with some BTC/LTC experience (the more the better) that is willing to help me get this through.
He/she should have good PHP and MySql skills and also a little(the more the better) bit of understanding the litecoin/bitcoin daemons and how they work.
Other required skills are: working with a linux server and doing at least SOME layout/formatting of webpages (so HTML).
After creation - maintenances and improvements will still be needed, but by that point the workload per week should be minimal already.
Financials
On the financial side, for your help I am willing to give you a 35% share of my total net profits. The offer is not time-limited, meaning you will get 35% for as long as the business is running. This also means, the better you can do the job, the higher the potential benefits for both of us.
Sidenotes:
Because I am sure there will be talks, I will not take 65% of the profits, rather 50% - while 15% will go into advertising, long-term deposits or other investments.
Although I would much rather have someone that will set everything up in 1-2 days, I understand that people are busy so I will ask only for a few hours now and then, but of course as fast as possible so we both start generating profits:).
If you think you have what it takes and want to take a leap of faith? Please feel welcome to reply to this post with your capabilites and why would you like to work in this project!
Best regards,
Armodar
