Do you ask yourself these questions?How can I watch the litecoin exchange rate?What amount of litecoins have I mined, but not yet transferred to my wallet, and how much are they worth?How many total litecoins did I mine since I started mining?How many litecoins do I currently have, both unpaid in pools and in my wallet, and how much USD can I get for it?I don't mine, but how much is my investment in litecoins worth in USD (or any other currency) at this moment?MyLitecoins is a Windows gadget (Vista sidebar or Windows 7) which displays two values: the amount of litecoins you have, and an estimated value of those litecoins in your preferred currency.Features retrieves data from up to three litecoin pools retrieves LTC-USD exchange rate from a litecoin exchange uses Yahoo!Finance to convert USD to any other world currency of your choice Accepts arbitrary correction amount (positive or negative) which is added to the litecoin amount.This is where you can, for example, enter total amount of the litecoins you bought if you wish it to be included in the sum, or simply use it as a litecoin calculator.

alerts with red or green color when a value is below or above defined amount You can specify any mining pool or exchange which has JSON API (most of them do).The only thing you need to know is URL and JSON keys.Configuring exchanges and pools By default, the gadget is configured to use BTC-e API to obtain exchange data.If we wanted to use a different exchange, for example Vircurex, first we need to find out JSON API URL.Vircurex has a bit different API, but this page details all that is needed to use the API.The data returned looks like this: {"base":"LTC", "alt":"BTC", "lowest_ask":"0.00379998", "highest_bid":"0.00352","last_trade":"0.00379999", "volume":"1357.57892737"} The exchange rate we need is in the "last_trade" JSON value.So, to configure MyLitecoins to use Vircurex, we have to enter above URL and JSON key "last_trade".We could use secondary exchange to track up to three additional values (for example highest bid and lowest ask), or simply clear all secondary exchange JSON keys.

Configuring gadget to use pool APIs works in the same way.The only difference is that you can configure up to two JSON keys for pools, since you're probably interested in both paid and unpaid amounts.Changes version 3.0 - a bunch of bugs fixed and new features introduced: updated Litecoin background/logo trailing stop alerts support for very large or very small values (more than 9 digits or less than 8 decimals) using for example 1G for 1,000,000,000 two additional pools added as some a bit megalomanic people were complaining that three pools are not enough although originally correction could be a negative number, at some point this stopped working due to incorrect regex which is now corrected if only paid or only unpaid JSON key for pools was used, value was not calculated; a bit impractical workaround was to use both fields is no longer needed note from settings now shows on mouse hover version 2.0 - added ability to choose and hide fields; improvements to better work with exchanges; new note field added to settings version 1.4 - fix for bug in anti-caching code version 1.3 - higher/lower color notification and better error handling (corrected possible NaN on bad correction configuration) version 1.2 - now works for all international Windows versions and allows Javascript to extract JSON key values version 1.1 - updated default: ticker URL for BTC-e exchange has changed version 1.0 - initial version Like this gadget?

Back in January, Litecoin founder  Charlie Lee urged the Litecoin Mining community to support SegWit in any way they can, calling it not only a huge improvement for Litecoin but also "the chance to open a new paradigm for blockchain technology".bitcoin cuanto cuestaTransaction malleability is one of the key benefits, and Lee has explained that he sees block scaling as an additional bonus.bitcoin kurs fallThe idea has been in development for a few years, and in an interview to CoinIdol, Lee has stated that miners need to signal for SegWit activation on the block they're working on.bitcoin poker scriptIn January, the approval rate was just 10 percent, and on April 1st, it boomed when F2Pool, Litecoin's largest mining pool, started to signal for SegWit.china bitcoin litecoin

In order to activate SegWit on Litecoin, 75 percent of the blocks need to signal for it, and in just a few days, that percentage has risen to over 68 percent.Bat Pool, Litecoin's fifth largest mining pool, joined in on April 4.Simultaneously, the price of LiteCoin has doubled, peaking from around $4.30 to almost $9.50, before settling back just under 9 USD.Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin, admits that while nothing can guarantee activation, he is positive that it will happen.“I am confident it will activate, but nothing can guarantee activation.We are in contact with the remaining pools” said Lee, who has recently written a letter to Chinese miners and pool operators and announced that he will be meeting with them in June.Asked about proposals from the community to force SegWit into action, Lee remained focused on the miners.“I commend their efforts in helping SegWit activate, but in the end, we need the supermajority of miners to be on board also.” Daniel Dabek, Architect and Founder of Safe Exchange, is also confident in the activation and underlines its importance for developers working with the new technology.

“I think that the activation of SegWit on Litecoin is an outstanding effort.This will provide developers an empirical response to building with the new technology.This also increases the luster of Litecoin because of its cutting edge technological adoption.I am fairly confident in the activation like many other people.And I am confident that Litecoin will produce an innovation pocket much like Ethereum has,” Dabek stated.Tone Vays of LibertyLifeTrail commented to CoinIdol that while Bitcoiners will see SegWit as the best solution for trading in terms of safety, the price of Litecoin will not continue to skyrocket.“Litecoin should be able to reach the 75% activation barrier for SegWit and it will be great for testing Lightning on that blockchain.This event should also help Bitcoiners realize that SegWit is not just the best solution for scaling, it's also the only safe solution for scaling,” Tone Vays of LibertyLifeTrail commented to CoinIdol.He continued: "As for the Litecoin price.
