So how does the transaction fee increase? Who enforces a fee for it, and doesn't that have an affect on the perceived value? In a way the node is essentially charging you a surcharge for the transaction you want (right?) so he can be profitable whereas now he is profitable because he gets awarded newly created coins.

No one enforces a transaction fee, but a miner/pool doesn't have to include transactions without a fee in their blocks. So if you want faster confirmation, you include a higher fee. That way you are put in the first block possible.

I have been thinking on the same topic for a few days now (which is really the extent of my bitcoin thinking alltogether). I have debated back and forth on weather to mine Litecoin or Bitcoin. Right now I am mining Bitcoin, only because it is more mainstream. I am thinking about moving over, any suggestions on any changes I will need to make if I do make the transition?

Right now mining LTC with similar hardware will get you about 1.4 times the profit, due to the difficulty. Then you can use BTC-E to convert LTC to BTC.

Hmmmm...So what do I need to do to get up and running on LTC mining? (BTW I am doing GPU mining at around 200 MH/s)

On the forums here there is a gui scrypt miner (LTC uses a different hashing algorithm) and just download it, and run it like you do GUI miner for BTC. I suggest give-me-ltc.com/ for a LTC pool.

Not bad. Check out the Feathercoin icon. Love it.

I should have registered a looong time about. Being a lurker sucks.

I am really thinking that LTC will increase in value vs BTC. The lack of viable FPGA or ASIC for scrypt will keep hashing more distributed, with a higher trust, and harder 51% attack.

I mined back in 2011 during the height of that bubble, and lost interest. Then started buying illegal things with coins when prices were around $10, and have kept up to date since!
