Does anyone have a working OSX binary and could upload it somewhere? I've got a quite a few macs here but am unable to compile.

i tried running against pool for a few days, said i had

What does "long term energy efficient mean"? Does it mean that we don't need to actively mine some of the coins?

Have no fear, the law of supply and demand is here.

I read someone predicting that people were going to lose their life savings? I hope individuals are not investing their life savings into alt coins. Not a good idea. The bottom line is "developers" are going to keep cranking out coins until it is no longer profitable to do so. Back in the early 90's the same thing was happening with search engines, it seemed like a new search engine was being cranked out each day. Eventually the market decided which search engines were valuable and the others fell by the waist side.

There is a temptation to blame the exchanges, but ultimately it will be the market that decides which coins succeed, which coins have value, and which ones are worthless.

so 24 threads (2x6coresxHT) giving this results? that seems low.
give 12 threads (genproclimit . 12) a try - HT is throtteling on some cpus...

The best settings are the default settings. Some very smart people with large resources have gone to great effort to determine those best values. Unless you really know what you are doing then don't change them.

I suspect you think that your chainsperday is low because you over-estimate your Xeons performance. Also, saying you have a 2.66 GHz Xeon is like saying you have a 2.66 meter long car. It doesn't actually mean very much because there are half a dozen Xeons that fit that description. Single core? Dual core? Quad core? How about a model number (eg SL___) or series type (eg Xeon E5####).

If I had to guess, your CPU's are probably the Core-equivalent Xeon's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors#Core-based_Xeons which were released ~2006-2008 and the performance you are getting is completely reasonable from such CPU. In fact, the poorer quad-core Xeons will also give about that performance too.

i've been mining for 24 hrs at 1000 pps and havent found a single block. Is mining not viable already?

edit: looks like people are mining this coin like crazy which sucks because now a few people get to hoard all the coins for themselves and only few get lucky enough to get a handful of coins to play around with. this is the first altcoin which got me a little excited when I read about it but my excitement is quickly turning into disappointment.

WeMineLTC.com ofc!! 0% fees, DDoS, full payout report, User Chat/help, VARDIFF, full stratum, SSL... What else you need?

Now, lets take a look a month or so on. I recommended Don't Go to the US, Tux shot me down.[/b]

Just touch the US and get sued for $75M (not even Gov, by your "partner"),  if that is a legit law suit (pacer has it but I expected to see an Official Court Stamp Somewhere)

BitCoin trades in CNY and CNC now comes out based in CNC, so much for "illegal" in CNY. The whole concept of Illegal in CNY is very different in CNY to West. I mean even Civil law and Common law are quite different.

If anything my position was way too conservative....stay clear of the US....until you are in a really really strong position, and have iron clad indemnity clauses from any US "partner" before you get in bed with them in anyway!!!

I hope I am wrong and some how this law suit is fake, or gets dismissed, but I humbly suggest you need to get some long term strategic planners in there at Gx, if your serious about seeing this all through....
