[...] additional advantages of LTC besides the faster confirmation times:

- 4x transaction capacity (BTC can have 1MB of transactions per 10 min. while LTC can take 4MB)
- smaller blockchain so far (no SatoshiDice)
@transaction capacity:
Does this mean that LTC can do a bigger amount of transactions per time? Is the number of transactions BTC can do per 10 min. too low to work as a widespread world currency?

@smaller blockchain so far:
It doesn't matter how small it is NOW. If LTC gets big, the blockchain will be big. And there will be a LatoshiDice then^^
