What is it with the "LTC dead" thing? There seems to be a small semi-literate group spamming the forum. Yet, if we look at the facts, we see the mining difficulty getting higher. We also see that the price against BTC is low, but we can see that this is typical, with BTC/LTC exchange rates. They vary, and over the last 12-months have been between 0.009 and 0.05. There appears to be an average of about 0.025 (a guess).

Really nothing has changed, and bringing the "innovation" card into things is absurd. For a start, BTC is useless in terms of making quick transactions, so it is hardly fit to be anything but the commodity it is. LTC is quicker, but Earthcoin is even quicker and I think VOLT faster still.

Crypto people have proved to be conservative, and until Google or Paypal market a contender, LTC is staying put as the second coin in a sea of shite.
