to disseminate newly created coins? I am perfectly aware that these would not be genuine bitcoins, and in fact, they don't need to be. It would be some kind of a fork.

Yes, litecoin uses "scrypt" instead of what bitcoin uses. it's totally different

not sure i understand this
what is 'scrypt'
is litecoin script very similar to bitcoin with just this difference?

as notice new altcoins tend to use litecoin as their model rather than bitcoin
