MtGox also seems to consider adding litecoins soon.

I hope it crashes and becomes irrelevant before they go through with it.

Nothing against alternative cryptocurrencies, but they should offer significant differences to Bitcoin.

Throwing away business idea.

1000 malware installs costs somewhat below $100 on dark market.

Its a botnet of 1000 hosts for $100.

LTC Scrypt is designed to pessimise GPU calcs with CPU calcs. So CPU mining is easier.

1 Intel Core i5 bot will bring $5 a day.

1000 bots will bring $5000 a day.

So
1. Buy botnet for $100
2. Buy bulletproof server for $300
3. Install ltc mining pool there
4. Infect botnet with ltc miner
5. Get $5000 a day.

I don't have time for this shit so I throw it away. LTC is shit.

Until the botnet operator sees what you plan to do and does it for himself.

I think I see your point... maybe? I recognize that this is a bad thing, for someone, but why is it bad for litecoin users?

Math adjustments.

ntel Core i5 750    30 khash
11561 khash/sec = 109.9 LTC
1 LTC = $0.018

11561 khash = 109.9 LTC/day
30 khash = x LTC/day

x=30*109.9/11561= 0.28 LTC/day = $0,005 /day


Hmm.... Did I miss three decimals somewhere?

1000 installs costs $8 on dark market (mix countries). Brings $0.5 a day.

And here i didnt take into account that bots may have GPU.

I only want to show, that Scrypt usage is designed to get less pain from GPU, but it brings more pain from botnet in comparing to bitcoin.

LTC is 10x vulnurable to botnet mining by design rather than Bitcoin.

QE:USD :: LTC:BTC

Anyone who plays with LTC is only devaluing crypto.  Everyone thought the FBI and CIA would try to bring down BTC, turns out the biggest threat were some script kiddie emo kids.

Judging by BTC-e chat, I'd agree with you.  But I guess this is how free markets work.

lol, the people of btc-e chat are so dumb you can't even troll them. Someone earlier said that the EU announced it was switching from the Euro to LTC and the chat went crazy asking for sources and speculating on the prices.  I don't think they'd figured it out by the time I gave up.
