I feel that the fickle consumer will ultimately determine which altcoins succeed.
Based on Litecoin's recent abandonment of development and its goofy name, I think it will eventually go the way of the web crawler.
Litecoin has not abandoned development, stop spreading FUD microguy and get back to your own centralised vapourware goldcoin.
I was thinking Charlie Lee had said on Twitter that Litecoin development had stopped.
https://twitter.com/litecamel/status/544807537116479488LTC does not need development right now. Adding gimmicks does not help a currency succeed. Liquidity, merchants, and user does.
In regards to Goldcoin, we're in the final stages before releasing the long-awaited client. How is GLD centralized?
Litecoin's not adding the latest gimmicks (like all the latest pump n dump scamcoins) but its still under constant development like its always been.
Goldcoin has one dev completely controlling the client, maintaining the chain. and you microguy censor anything you don't like within your community and even self mod threads here.
