Sorry Lizard but I disagree; getting closer to LTC makes a lot of sense for ANC - both coins have much to win from closer partnership....
As for Kittehcoin I'd say that being traded in LTC is a consequence rather than a cause of their poor performance..
Litecoinlocal.org has added an ANC/LTC pairing.
It really should be paired with BTC only, in my opinion. ANC is too valuable for the LTC market. Kittehcoin just entered the LTC market & it's killing them.
