Bump.

You guys are ripe, about as paranoid as a schizophrenic in police custody.

Using "Fun fact" as a pretext for your fallacious argument doesn't suddenly make it hold ground, even with a sarcastic undertone.

It wasn't an argument - it was just a fun fact.
It's yet another fallacy.
By presenting your argument as a "fun fact" you are trying to distract from your fallacious argument and make it appear as it isn't argumentative while it is.
You are suggesting similarities between Charles Ponzi and Ripple using the stamp analogy.

You committed two fallacies at once.

At least if you cant do a step for ltc, Just don't hold it into your wallet, create transaction's (at least fake one's that transfer your money from one of your account to another account of yourself). Make the coins move in the network. this will help a lot.

Ok this is the second time you posted that shit. I encourage you to stop.

Well it is essentially dysfunctional. If it's down or works as a bucket shop doesn't really matter apparantly.

Actually it's mainly the five figure smear campaign of Tradefortress, and cognitive dissonance of the people here.

Litecoin used to be in the same predicament but it has risen by a factor of 50 since. I expect the anti-ripple choir to be even less successful. But their war is already lost.
With the largest functional Bitcoin exchange (bitstamp) being a ripple gateway, opencoin having more VC money than all Bitcoin ventures combined and Ripples as a real deflationary virtual asset. It will take off with or without Bitcoin. If Bitcoiners collectively decide to piss against the wind that's their predicament, but I don't think that will happen. Just watch what happens after XRP have some capital gains, suddenly the majority here will appear pro ripple, just like they are pro Litecoin.
The hardliners will still be around but they have nothing to do except grinding their teeth.

There's a lot more to bitcoin than making the maximum return on your investment.

I heard this rumor too.

Good, the cargo cult has to go.

Difficulty-adjustments will ensure that in the event of miners shutting down the difficulty goes down as well and mining profitability will increase again.

Yes - but the adjustments don't happen immediately - and especially down adjustments will happen slowly.

That's a reasonably good scenario for the Death of Bitcoin. It happened to Namecoin, prices fell faster than the difficulty could adjust making it decades till the difficulty would catch up. They barely limped to the next adjustment to use merged mining.

I've been a Litecoin supporter from the start and suffice it to say it surpassed my expectations. But the whole time there were thing happening which more or less justified the gains.
Until now. Of course brand recognition means something and its much more popular than last year. Even without things to use it.

What I am saying that this all can't happen in a vacuum, and with stuff shutting down the air is starting to get quite thin. I'm not saying its doomed, just that these prices won't hold by a long shot.

Well name some which aren't miners, exchanges or themselves.

There's gambling and that's about it. It's all a closed loop, nothing outside the usual accumulation of coins.

Well, ART is shares in a art studio that creates dividends by selling art. Esecurity 1 and 2 are shares in servers that sell Anti DDOS hosting. There are some others that I didn't read in depth enough to know exactly what they did, but they weren't gambling, exchanges, or mining contracts.

Nice, I didn't notice them.
How much are they worth?

I love posts about the death of a coin. Indicates much fun ahead the next year.

Holding on to my LTC.

I see. Well of course SR had a vastly higher volume, and if it did 140x times the volume that wouldn't have been so bad for Atlantis. No idea how the relation really was.
The point is that Atlantis distinguished LTC from any other altcoin and it represented potential for it to be used for something else than a trading game.
LTC Global isn't really something I would attribute value to. What else is there except mining contracts?

LTC Global had quite a few assets, and did an average of 6,000 Litecoins in trades per day. That is a very significant amount of liquidity that is on its way out now.

1997  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'm sad to say it but the Litecoin pipedream is over. on: September 23, 2013, 05:13:43 PM
come up with that figure? 5 tades a week? If that's true I would rather say the valuation wasn't justified in the first place, although it might have accounted for some speculative potential.
Making conclusions based on short-term price movements for fundamentals doesn't work out. These things generally take time to be priced in.

I take it upon myself to browse SR and Atlantis, just for entertainment purposes. The 5 trades per week is an exaggeration, however I've never seen more than a handful of things listed there at any time, and nothing ever seems to sell. I've seen SR sellers complaining that they sell 10 things per day on SR, however they do 1 trade every two weeks on Atlantis.

I have a feeling Litecoin Global closing down will cause a whole lot more damage than Atlantis.

I want to know how the hell NVC is priced so high  Shocked it has ZERO services yet demands a much higher price than LTC.

me too

Isn't it supposed to be ultra-rare or something?

Have you ever used Atlantis though? They do like 5 trades per week. I wouldn't exactly call it a big loss to Litecoins. I'm not sure why Litecoins are at $2.35 each right now, there doesn't seem to be much actual market depth in them, however, like I said, the fact that when Atlantis shut down, and the panic sells lead to a total of 3% decrease in value, from .0200 to .0194 leads me to believe that Atlantis wont really be missed.

How did you come up with that figure? 5 tades a week? If that's true I would rather say the valuation wasn't justified in the first place, although it might have accounted for some speculative potential.
