yes litecoin has one thing over all the alts; trust.

trust is pretty important to currency, all the innovation to sell snake oil hype makes some coins have a small moments of shine, but trust is needed for longterm survival as a genuine currency.

so is this thing still alive and kicking?

to the OP's title question.

1) i'm yet to see a so called 2.0 platform that's an improvement on bitcoin's blockchain (however there is quiet a few so called copy paste alts that improve on bitcoin funnily enough). just because its original code doesn't automatically make it better.
 
2) most 2.0 type devs have lost the plot on the entire point of p2p currency ie being an alternative to the banks (eg not trying to create a backend platform for the banks).
also whats the point in being an alternative to the banks if we ourselves become the greedy bankers.

3) if we just jump onto the latest platform plugged as the most 'innovative' all the time, no platform will achieve mass adoption. adoption is way more important then the latest crazy in innovation to sell snake oil.
we are simple trying to create a currency, tis not a mission to mars.

greater fool theory;the price of an object is determined not by its intrinsic value, but rather by irrational beliefs and expectations of market participants.

lol bad timing for those in on the pump action 

anyways if it returns to base, i suspect more positive situation in the future 

losing momentum before its really gained any (despite an interesting concept).

delisting notice on c-cex.

anything dev wise happening?

yes as an premined ICO pusher your motives a pretty clear

litecoin has one of the best develop teams and map out of all cryptos todate, if you took the time to do the research. most of the bitcoin crowd happily support litecoin, plenty of the devs work in both overlaps.

you know you don't to FUD other coins to pump you're own bags? it certainly does no favors to the coins you support.

i assume random pump the way it built up, not that i don't think feather shouldn't be up way higher then even the peaks of these little pumps.

Yes, give me trust over 'innovation' to sell snake oil anyday, eventually people will learn.

QT link down? Website link down?

dead already?

is this an international competition?

also EST?

"Timezones like "EST" are ambiguous. EST could mean US eastern time, Australia eastern time, or Egypt time."

(ie quick look at your site and you btt profile, i couldn't see where you are based)

litecoins not an altcoin, it complementary to bitcoin not an alternative.

on ground level chinese have way more freedom with fiat then western countries, i'm a westerner that works in china and cash (real paper type cash) is king there. rarely do you use cards etc there most transactions are in cash (and therefore more privacy).

nice.

and great to see active development.

theres ton of reasons why ETH and the lastest co, may get flavor of the month with some of this crowd but not longterm mass adoption, KISS is one, trust is another (hell much of this forum have little trust for the motivation of the teams behind them).

lots care about litecoin, it has the trust and if you where to first come across all these latest 'original' or 2.0 or whatevers first, then btc/ltc came later everyone would be saying btc/ltc are a massive improvement on these.

over hyped 'innovation' for innovation sake doesn't make for a long term currency solution.

its obviously sacrilegious here, but litecoin most likely will replace bitcoin, and yes thats probably laughed at mostly now (but i can give many a reason why), wait 2 years and see  

i'd say within 2 years BTC completely owned by corporate interests etc, LTC becomes the peoples currency (kinda like gold/silver did in days gone by).

here's just some of the current 2016 development;

-Increase our software coverage by releasing a new wallet for iOS devices (LoafWallet) and improve existing ones (Android and Electrum).

-Release Litecoin Core 0.12 which will feature block pruning, memory usage optimization, Tor stream isolation support and Tor hidden service support, improved signature validation using libsecp256k1, network performance improvements and additions (like ZMQ notifications) and many other changes. This will be a major release.

-Add support for version bits (BIP9) which allows rolling out multiple soft-forks at once instead of doing them sequentially. This will rapidly accelerate the roll out of new features.

-Add support for relative lock-time using consensus-enforced sequence numbers. (BIP68 and BIP112)

-Add support for Segregated Witness.

-Change P2SH address prefix to prevent confusion between Litecoin and Bitcoin addresses. This will require a hard fork and we would like to include any other changes which require a hard fork at the same time.
   
-Add support for cross-chain atomic transfers.

-Create a Litecoin sidechain to try out new opcodes, confidential transactions and other innovations.

-Add support for the Lightning network protocol.

same nonsense, plenty of development going on with litecoin.
