I can't find any worry inside myself about whether anyone chooses to *THINK* LTCD is dead or not. Facts is facts. Blockchain still going strong, transfers nice and quick, coins trading on the exchanges, behind the scenes work getting done. LTCD is alive, regardless of any opinion.
Long term - now that I can help you with. Hold if you got. Get if you don't have. Project is making progress, but will be maybe a couple months for the Gen 2 rewrite. Some little things will happen along the way, but the bigger stuff can't happen until Gen 2 code portion is finished. Can't really give any accurate time estimates on when which things will become available, just general estimates. It's no small thing.
-Forgot to say-
Discussion is fine, but general conversation does not belong in the main [ANN] topic. I don't quite know when people started allowing general discussion in [ANNOUNCEMENT] topics, but it isn't proper. [ANN] is for technical discussion and official announcements. All other conversations should be in a topic separate from the [ANN]. I know it happens in all the other coin topics and used to be in the LTCD [ANN]. Doesn't make it right. I fixed it.
The official thread is locked because there is nothing official to discuss or announce. Leaving it open has only resulted in trolls and other no-goodnicks trashing the place.
I can't really give you any solid advice on what to do with what is yours. I could make suggestions, but I don't know what your goals and strategy are.
Vivelcro why is the official thread locked? What to do with our coins?
Won't many people just think it's dead this way? Better some discussion then not being able to discuss anything.
What do you suggest long term?
