Didn't you start this topic to hear why people didn't like Litecoin? Now you're effectively telling him to shut up.
I didn't tell him to shut up, what I suggested was to move attention away from the things he hates. It's part of the healing process of a psychological disorder (hate) .
Technically, that's a variable. There are several encryption schemes that could be used to make a cryptocurrency. Bitcoin chose one, Litecoin another.
Here is the definition of "variable":

, but I guess we have to stick to the context of sd's first post. Reread it please.
Also, you chose to nitpick instead of acknowledging sd's point. I hope you are not representative of the Litecoin community, because you are not doing a good job at that.
Nitpick? There were five paragraphs in sd's "points", and I commented four of them, the only one I left out was:
>> 2) LiteCoin appears to be a cynical attempt to recreate the early days of BitCoin
If he didn't know Litecoin uses a different encryption algorithm, why would I bother commenting?
I hope you are not representative of the Litecoin community, because you are not doing a good job at that.
Representative? Thank you for the compliment.
