Why not just collaborate with BTCD so you can merge mine LTCD & BTCD at the same time and BTCD can mine both its own & LTCD as well at the the same time, both with individual algorithms sha256 and scrypt working for one another and both sharing the same specs of code whether it be next gen 2.0 or SuperNET,Telepathy.

IMO it will work wonders for both coins using the same things but each with their own Algorithmic mining hardware from different sides of cryptocurrency.

Consider it I say but include merged mining !
