Yes be wary of LTC, it hasnt got much going for it anymore and one of the pools has also been flickering around 50% has rate for a few days as well.
Can you explain?
Never really saw the point in LTC, but what's different now?
Well, besides from the sheer number of alts some of the new ones (drk,monero etc) have got real world useful features. LTC apart from its second mover advantage only has faster block times which is now included in a huge amounts of alts.
Whats the advantage of LTC over an alt thats faster and anon?
I read a few things on darkcoin and seems to be growning. Ltc does has the 2nd largest market cap (300+ million and is on huobi). I think its has a good community. It is basically an alternative (easier mining....until the knc and viper and other scypt miners hit the scene)
Also, look at dogecoin. It has unlimited market supply and is doing relatively well because of the community that supports it.
so I think its all about the supporting community that will make ltc succeed
