Rumour of a "merger" between Monero and Litecoin:

Charlie Lee admits his ambition to work with Monero in a series of tweets he posted yesterday, claiming that Litecoins liquidity would be a good fit for Moneros anonymity and fungibility.

Monero (XMR) creator Riccardo Spagni and Litecoin (LTC) creator Charlie Lee would appear to be taking tentative baby steps in potentially bringing their two coins closer. Spagni posted the following tweet yesterday, which first bandied the idea of a possible merger between the two cryptocurrencies:

"Such a productive few days, finally got to sit down with @SatoshiLite and talk about a possible merger between the Litecoin Enterprise Alliance and the Monero Enterprise Alliance, which wed obviously call the LAMEA. #blessed #justblockchainthings"

Lee, who has professed a desire for increased anonymity in the past with regard to Litecoin, was quick to respond in his own indomitable manner with his own series of tweets:

"Although @fluffypony was kidding here, I think it would be good for Litecoin and Monero (2 of the top non-scam coins ) to work together. A while back, I proposed to him that we work on making it easy for people to do on-chain atomic swaps of LTC and XMR in a decentralized way."

Lol, fluffiy is a freaking master troll. I hope someday to have a beer with him.

That said, I believe deepening the relationship between XMR and LTC would be super positive. And for LTC to be able to claim to have performed both the first ever atomic swap AND the first ever atomic swap with a non BTC codebase crypto would be killer. And I think the liquidity a LTC/XMR atomic connection would provide mixed with it's novelty would benefit both communities.

Lol, that was a funny exchange! Decentralized LTC/XMR pair would kick some serious butt, but I though I read CT (or what was it/ shit forgot) makes xmr incompatible with atomic swaps unless the chain is locked?
