Title: Litecoin dominates the CPU mining realm
Post by: tacotime on October 19, 2011, 04:38:29 PM
         hash rate
tbx    0.00119                     
fbx    0.00011                     
sc    0.03689 (rapid crash in hash rate over the past few days and hash rate is 6-10x that of CPUs doing scrypt work for ltc/tbx so who knows the actual number of CPUs this represents)               
ltc    0.00407 (increase of 20% over the past few days)

For a while SC2 seemed at the top, but there has been a shift over the last 24-48 hours towards litecoin and a huge loss of hashing power for SC2.  It looks as if from here Litecoin will dominate (which is unsurprising: GPU "proof", tons of pools, open source, and deflationary).

In the same vein, the price of ltc has been moving up while sc2 has been falling.

It looks like someone was able to mine a lot of LiteCoins at the beginning  ;D

ltc       0.011570 $

Yours is number 2, thanks for your friendly and efficient pool, I like using it a lot.  Just looking forward to the merged mining.

Litecoin is being built up as a community effort. Not just one person holds the keys. There is many people working on making Litecoin that much better.
