That seems a fairly glaring oversight given their stated goal.

Yes, it does.

I noticed, in a thread from 2012, someone calling out current Scryot implementations as light/fake/tuned down. Botnet safe, as it were. Is this still the general feeling on it? Is this the variant used in LTC? And is there a significant problem with running the full version of the algorithm? Honestly, I would prefer my CPU mining to occur mostly unnoticed in the background.

With the advent of specialized devices simple botnets will become useless overall, the returns will become so low even on a million infected PCs putting a CPUs worth of hashpower into the network will still be eclipsed by ASIC and more powerful hardware. I would say the hacking game is on the way out for BTC, but Litecoin and other alts would still be suceptible to this as they are still primarily CPU/GPU based starting out. A USB type device could be secured easier from intruders and overpower them in raw computing power. Eventually botnets will be out of business but it will just spread to the altcoins instead until altcoin hardware is ready to grow up.

It seems Litecoin is ready, and so are you.

Presently I am just getting to know the dev team and organizing a proper home for us. This right here is the start of a brand new industry, by community, for community, as Satoshi intended

Sorry for the off topic. It seemed relevant at the time. Good luck.
