This is why SPN shouldn't have been paired up with LTC in a prominent way.  It's taken away some of the hope that existed before.  However, such a dump can still be avoided if interest in the coin is revived before it's listed on Mintpal.  We've still got time.

SpartanCoin, I have a question for you.  Have you put some thought into how to protect this coin if/when it starts to be noticed?  With Scrypt ASICs coming out and a network hashrate that's generally only a few tens of MHashes, a single person with a modest ASIC miner could easily take control of the network.
