Bitcoin Forum

I find it interesting that most of the loud voices (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=194700.msg2043193#msg2043193) are big into litecoin when litecoin's current anti-dust relay/mining policy is far more aggressive than anything proposed for Bitcoin.

I could really care less about Litecoin. I just know the price will go up when it hits Gox so it is currently a good investment.

Killing microtransactions hinders a good chunk of my business model that would definitely add inherent value to Bitcoin.

Litecoin, showing Bitcoin how it should be done yet again.

Thank you litecoins and coblee for censoring bitcoins THANK YOU...

Please don't tell me you are serious. Go look at the current codebase.

Current? What are you talking about? Last real update was 10 months ago. ;D

Now seriously, I think litecoin is more or less how an altcoin should be done, but not what Bitcoin should have been done.

Bitcoin is litecoins test coin. Litecoin will not get forked and break like bitcoin did.

Litecoin is the conservitive option here.

Explain "will not get forked and break"

LTC network at its current stage is still very much susceptible to a botnet 51% attack, so it can not become the No.1 virtual currency, there are plenty with millions of CPUs out there, they just don't care enough about LTC yet.

When bitcoin was forked it was not cuz of an attack but design fail. Litecoin does not have this bad code. The bitcoin coders did something silly and almost killed bitcoin.

Glad we still have safe ltc so we can use crypto.

I enjoy using Lynx. Why would I move to Firefox? I already have a HTTP browser!

Perhaps you should go ask coblee if he likes your vision about LTC. Sooner or later they will start forking from bitcoin-0.8. ;)

And if what you said were true, that would exactly be the reason why LTC can only be No.2-it's designed to only satisfy the need of old users.

Ltc is silver to btcs gold.

But it is the more stable and tested coin.

Honestly i hold and use both. We need both.

LOL. "more stable and tested" ... is that why all litecoin nodes are still displaying a "Warning: this version is obsolete, upgrade required" error, and have been for months without anyone fixing it? :P  Is this why litecoin depends on Bitcoin fixing bugs and lags behind slowly copying security fixes from bitcoin (now months behind) and basically never produces any of its own novel bugfixes?  Is it stable.. or technically dead?

If it stays silver I think it will be OK.

But if it attempts usurpation I don't think many Bitcoiners and their huge GPU mining farms will go easy on the LTC network.

I invest in LTC as well.

Ltc works just fine. Btc on the other hand forked itself hard. Btc was only saved cuz of the centralized mining pools and gavin bribing the operators.

People who work on ltc have added to the btc code. You of all people should know that.

Like it or not if btc dies crypto will live on. Im not a btc or ltc fanboy. Im here to fuck over banks with whatever crypto works.

+1

Most "loud voice" crying about the 0.8.2 changes do not understand much about what they are complaining.. I'll run a 0.8.2 node and hope the pool I use will enjoy the new version too :)

Litecoin is MySpace to Bitcoin Facebook.
Litecoin is Yahoo Auctions to Bitcoin EBay
Litecoin is Betamax to Bitcoin VHS

Myspace was first, facebook improved on the idea. so this would support LTC being the best.

betamax lost cuz the pron industry picked vhs.   honestly if the pron industry picks LTC then BTC will be pretty fucked.

Because it's not? wtf are you talking about?

Guys, I think there is space for Bitcoin, Litecoin and others crypto currency.

We are just at the infant stage right now.

The currency that will win is which industry will use it as a payment. (Porn is a good suggestions)

Another alternative is money laundering or money transfer without trace. (Argentina , China and etc)

No point arguing who will win, the strategy is make sure you have them when they are a successful.
 

Litecoin is a much wiser investment

ITT: nerds comparing epeen size.

The reality is Bitcoin & Litecoin are not designed for micro-transactions. 99.99% of Litecoin code is identical to Bitcoins. Bitcoins problems are also Litecoins.

You will start to see significant change in ltc 0.9.x

Actually, Friendster was before both of them...

haha, should i change to some new browser from my http Mosaic browser?

Mosaic is bitcoin of all http browsers :)

Most lot noises maybe, but most hashing powers are still chasing the Satoshis

As an infant I prefer popcorns  ;D

Lol. Public knowledge.  Lurk more.

You want me to show you the transactions in the block chain or link to his posts in this forum talking about it?
Either way you are pretty lazy for not being able to do it yourself.

I will email him and ask for a list of all transactions, will post when i get the reply.. Im not sure if you are new or trolling. This was even published in the media.

If you really are interested read his posts or try google.  It was not done in secret.

Did you even think when you started this thread? What's the title got to do with your point. I gather you are talking about litecoin not bitcoin.

He was off topic and hijacked the first thread so the mods moved it.

LTC will always feed from BTC milk, plus LTC has lazy devs.

Check out the charts for BTC and LTC, they are almost identical.

Wow fun thread. People actually think Litecoin will beat Bitcoin, quite surprising :)

My vote goes for Bitcoin and if another cryptocurrency surpasses it must be something which doesn't exist today because Litecoin doesn't have advantages over Bitcoin. I do commend them for using another hashing algorithm though.

@Goat: Why do you believe Gavin needed to bribe pool operators? Pool operators are heavily invested in Bitcoin, it was in their own interest really.

Disclosure: I do hold less than a dozen LTC (which is less than 4 BTC equivalent as in total 84 M LTC will be mined) as a small hedge. Most of these I mined myself :D

Needed to is debatable but they were paid.

It would have been interesting to see the results had BTC not changed hands.

People still pay for porn?

Nevermind, I forgot about the bible belt.

I do think that the pron industry, just on the internet, is greater than the net worth of all BTC at this time.

This is just my assumption, I have no hard numbers.  ;)
