Similar problem here, though not quite the same message. When I click 'download' I get an error:


Lame... dear Litecoin Cash people, don't be so cheap! Stick it on your website so everybody can get it

(I've got a .litecoin folder as of mid-December from Litecoin Core... fingers crossed that will work...)

I've built 3 of these on Linux now - United Bitcoin, Super Bitcoin, Bitcoin Diamond. Worth noting that not all the forks necessarily change the datadir or exe names! So when I first tried this, I ended up with two EXEs called bitcoin-qt, obviously with the second overwriting the first. Then after I'd fixed that - there's a configure option to add a prefix to the EXE names - use ./configure --help to find it - one of them popped up saying it was going to use ~/.bitcoin as its datadir. This just seemed like it was going to be trouble in the long run. So I created a separate Unix user for each fork, installed each fork's binaries into somewhere in that user's home folder (e.g., by configuring it with "./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr"), added the user's binaries folder to their PATH, and ran it that way. Then each fork can do whatever it likes, it's all self-contained, and you don't have to remember to run it with --datadir=$HOME/.thatbitcoinfork or something.

This is nothing you couldn't figure out yourself, I'm sure, but maybe it will save you or somebody else the 10 minutes I spent pissing about.

Also a bonus: very easy to just remove all the fork's data when you're done with it.

BTC-E said: "Thank you for contacting BTC-e. We can not assume where hackers have received your e-mail address We have no information leaks." Well, true or not (I have no opinion), they've at least been told.

So: case unsolved!

--Tom

Yes, you're right - there are one or two very obvious explanations for this But I have no opinion about what has actually happened here.

I've sent a support request to BTC-E, which seems like an obvious first thing to do. If I hear anything back, I'll post here.

--Tom

I got one of these today. It was sent to my BTC-E email address. (I have my own domain, so I sign up with every service under a different email address.)

I wonder how they got hold of that?

--Tom

Fuck off, no it isn't. Stop being a cunt.

Left computer mining all day today, and it got 128 coins!

Then I ran the Windows wallet and it seems to have picked up an entirely different block chain in which other people have mined those coins rather than me

I don't think I will be pursuing this coin any further.

--Tom

Have you tried this? The code doesn't actually build out of the box, but the instructions don't tell you what to do, and you have to piss about.

Compiling programs on Windows is, like, the equivalent in annoyingness and fiddliness of getting your audio driver and wifi and 3d acceleration working on Linux

(and the opposite is true... building stuff from source on Linux is super-easy, in fact probably easier than installing your audio drivers on Windows because at least you don't have to reboot)

--Tom

To be fair, most Unix enthusiasts genuinely can't figure this out, and eventually just give up. (Or use cygwin, which amounts to pretty much the same thing.)

--Tom

I managed to mine some early on, when it didn't take too long, so profit pretty much guaranteed. I held on to it to see what would happen.

I put it on sale at BTER for a while at 1.0BTC/BTB, then 0.75BTC/BTB, then I think 0.6BTC/BTB for a while. Knock-down prices all round, if you believe some of the forum members here. Any one of them will profit handsomely in the future, had they actually bought it. But none of them did.

Sold in pieces for 0.45-0.5 BTC/BTB in the end.

Not unexpected... but I have to say, I DID like the "bar" name. I held on it it for too long pretty much on that basis. Just goes to show, you shouldn't let emotion sway your decisions

I know there will be just nothing like the feeling of running Task Manager and seeing Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungenzahlungsmittel-qt.exe there, using up 100% CPU.

WTS 800YAC for 16 LTC (20LTC/1K).

I generally use the exchanges but I have previously traded FTC here once: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=183824.msg1916106#msg1916106.

Thanks,

--Tom

Well some of us WERE there for the launch... and it didn't launch

--Tom

0.002BTC/BQC is well above market rate. There's a substantial sell wall (is that the phrase??) on bter at 0.6BTC/1K that would absorb all the current buys just on its own. So at the current level of demand a substantial increase in price looks unlikely.

Still... your money, not mine. Half of the participants will be getting a very good deal out of this transaction

--Tom

Erm... maybe?

If I've understood:

1. This is an issue, but by reading the forums you can usually figure out who might be a scammer or not.

2. You can check the code yourself to see what the miner software does - it doesn't do much that's exploitable. Because of the way the pools work (as I understand it...), it's to the pool's advantage to feed the miner valid data.

3. I think this relates to point 1, in that you have to pick carefully and then assume they're as trustworthy as you hope when you estimate your likely profit. As with any time you're trying to turn a profit, your costs (electricity, hardware, repairs, etc.) just have to be included in your calculations.

I've got 900-odd. Was going to sell for LTC, but then CNC appeared on the exchanges, and I've decided to wait and see. (My FTC has done OK overall, though I sold some of it a bit too early - so I was determined not to make the same mistake this time.)

It wouldn't be a terrible loss if the value becomes zero, so I might as well hold on to it in case it goes up to more than that

But I still feel I should perhaps have sold it for 3 BTC when I had the chance.

--Tom

Mine too! WE WAS ROBBED. Perhaps we should think about suing?

--Tom

Please remove my sale of 880CNC for 20LTC. I've decided to keep hold of them for now.

Thanks,

--Tom

WTS 880 CNC for 20 LTC.
