The goal was to shut down exchanges?

How is it bad? Ensuring no double spending occurs is a good thing. Title: Re: BTC-e halts LTC deposit/withdrawal for 5 days Post by: LoupGaroux on July 25, 2012, 10:54:11 PM I think the goal was to discipline the litecoin community and all of its righteousness. By shuttering their exchanges a goal that serves the greater purpose of the attack is achieved. Certainly it throws water on the theory that it is a profiteering grab by BCX- why kill the exchange if you want to fork, pump and dump?

Not just 51% either. It's interesting to watch though.
