I find it interesting that most of the loud voices are big into litecoin when litecoin's current anti-dust relay/mining policy is far more aggressive than anything proposed for Bitcoin.
Litecoin, showing Bitcoin how it should be done yet again.
Current? What are you talking about? Last real update was 10 months ago.
Now seriously, I think litecoin is more or less how an altcoin should be done, but not what Bitcoin should have been done.
Bitcoin is litecoins test coin. Litecoin will not get forked and break like bitcoin did.
Litecoin is the conservitive option here.
Explain "will not get forked and break"
LTC network at its current stage is still very much susceptible to a botnet 51% attack, so it can not become the No.1 virtual currency, there are plenty with millions of CPUs out there, they just don't care enough about LTC yet.
When bitcoin was forked it was not cuz of an attack but design fail. Litecoin does not have this bad code. The bitcoin coders did something silly and almost killed bitcoin.
Glad we still have safe ltc so we can use crypto.
Perhaps you should go ask coblee if he likes your vision about LTC. Sooner or later they will start forking from bitcoin-0.8.
And if what you said were true, that would exactly be the reason why LTC can only be No.2-it's designed to only satisfy the need of old users.
Ltc is silver to btcs gold.
But it is the more stable and tested coin.
Honestly i hold and use both. We need both.
