Litecoin was never prince. It's only real price rise was due to Bitcoin's rise in November, and because it was the first coin launched without a premine or instamine(there were other altcoins made before Litecoin). Now, it's price is not tegged to Bitcoin anymore, since during the recent Bitcoin price rise a few months ago, Litecoin continued to fall and did not follow suit.

with every fall in LTC price , this thread becomes alive again  It's been falling constantly. Down 7% today, again. about the same as BTC, and still up on DRK from DRKs peak. What is it with you and X coins? You have that other phony account where you cheerlead for Monero. Are you gonna have a DRK/XMR exchange, called ButterX? Actually, seeing as this is third time I have posted this after you deleted the others. I would like to accuse you of dishonesty and of lying. Very silly, darkota, and your reputation is not one of a cheeky scoundrel with a quick sense of whit. It's one of "moron". Dishonesty and lying? I stated that Litecoin was down 7%. I stated nothing else concerning Darkcoin or Bitcoin. I deleted your post because it doesn't concern this Topic. Litecoin has been going down regardless of Bitcoin's price, while Bitcoin rebounded during May, Litecoin did not and continued to fall. That means that Litecoin is not going up in price during Bitcoin price rises, which means it is not the "silver to Bitcoin's gold", more like the rotting iron to Bitcoin's stainless steel. |

yeah uh. don't they just go back to fiat when scared? Why go to something more volatile and likely to die than bitcoin when you are scared of bitcoin?
Depends how high their understanding is. I was a little bit afraid of Bitcoin today, and bought XMR and felt better. Surely the majority is not there yet. Or will not be. Only 0.01% of the world actively uses any crypto. For once you get out of fiat, there's no going back. This is exactly what I do. I've been extremely busy, but I always find time to buy more Moneros here and there(Almost everyday), even more so if Bitcoin is looking especially bearish. |

Anonymity is a double edged sword: it may become a saver for people in some jurisdictions, but a stopping obstacle in other jurisdictions (big businesses dealing with legal enforcements).
I also prefer it to be optional.
IMHO, anonymity is like computer security in general, meaning there is no easy solution in the form of a single package. With the way most people trust the computers they don't really own and put their data on The Cloud™, it doesn't help if one of their applications does decent privacy. For example, people who use a closed-source miner with a supposedly anonymous coin take facepalming to a whole new level. Conversely, good old Bitcoin is fine for anonymous purposes if you know what you're doing. For most people, extra anonymity is just a buzzword, something to distinguish the altcoin of the day from the coin polloi. Besides, the success of Bitcoin is largely due to convenience -- no contracts/fees with third parties to worry about. Yet it is still not quite mainstream. Anonymity doesn't sell quite in the same way as convenience. "Good old Bitcoin" is only good if you're extremely careful about hiding your identity(creating new addresses for every transaction, not posting your address on forums, website, not resuing addresses etc)...Most people aren't so it isn't that anonymous for them. |

Anoncoin is just about to release ZC. Less then a month til it's on testnet. Howoever, the proofs are HUGE so the bloat is big. Would be nice if it could be on a minichain.
Although the quality of anc's zerocoin remains to be seen, I agree strongly with the suggestion that coins need to start moving in the direction of consolidating and working to make longer term projects. With dozens of new coins arriving every day the only ones that will last are the ones that can eat other coins, or work with them. The ideal coin right now in my opinion a mix of xcn with an anonymous coin like anc and a human mined coin like huc. The first coin to be truly human mined will jump ahead of all other coins quickly. HUC is the closest to that. Anonymity is extremely important to some people in some places but for a coin to succeed long term the anonymity must be optional. Most people will reject mandatory anonymity. Human mining coin is a fail. The average person doesnt have time to waste literally, mining some coin instead of just buying a gpu/cpu and having that mine instead.... Anonymity is very important. I wish it got added to this coin. |

I don't see any correlation between Doge and LTC except that LTC has dropped significantly and than Doge has additionally risen because there were disgruntled LTC investors who were sicking for another coin to invest in and doge coin was right in time
I was actually pointing to the correlation between Doge and Bitcoin. LTC is dead meat already. True, Dogecoin went up over 50% in price recently, while Litecoin just continues to decline. |

If anyone can't see that Moneroman is simply trolling monero, then...
You're boring, this accusation has been addressed countless times. Calling me an anti-Monero troll is totally ridiculous as I'm stating the opinions of the XMR Community through my own glasses. You can read my posts and compare with what you find in all major Monero threads and you'll realize that I'm not posting anything significantly dissonant. I'm not doing anything else than posting what I believe, standing for what I assess to be the truth. I'm not trolling, I'm stating what I believe are the very facts. Monero is the best coin. and I repeat the thread TL;DR to all Do you seriously in all honesty want to argue that it's * not* ridiculous that BCX thinks and claims he could take down Monero? Do you agree with his wrong-as-fuck assessment that Monero is so "weak" that one man could find an exploit and kill it? This is fucking ridiculous beyond explanation. What a fail. No sane person thinks this. "Moneroman88" is a shill account created to defame and deride the Monero project.
You're utterly stupid if you believe BCX could find a weakness that would allow him to take down Monero. This is delusional at its best and anyone who believes this would be an idiot. I have no choice but to facepalm when I read such retarded and arrogant claims that are 100% made up by someone who thinks that he's a powerful man when he obviously isn't. There's only two reasons why you're blatantly,"over endorsing" Monero while belitting everyone/everything else. 1) You're using reverse psychology trolling, where you pretend you like a coin by making outlandish posts disregarding everything/everyone else(which in turn would make everyone hate the coin you're trolling i.e monero) 2) You are mentally ill and have gotten extremely over attached to Monero Your manner of typing is also blatant/obvious trolling, you just repeat the same phrases over and over again. At least troll with some intelligence.. |

This "drama" makes everyone seem like Pathetic schoolkids. Grow the fuck up moneroman.
I have to applause you for using the "reverse- psychology" method of trolling, where one acts as if they like a coin, while degrading such coin with over enthusiastic posts and attaching a "god stigma" to such coin, which would make everyone get utterly annoyed and begin hating said coin, which is what you're doing to monero.
If anyone can't see that Moneroman is simply trolling monero, then...

Ok..So you're saying that you proposed a scamming event to take place to the Quark Mods/Devs on Reddit, but it was all for fun, to trick people into the scam, so they would realize it was a scam and not ever fall for a scam again? With all honesty, that has to be the Stupidest excuse I have ever seen on Bitcointalk. You obviously attempted to do a real scam, but got called out and now you're making up Bullshit excuses. Nice job. |

I've noticed, at least on 90% of all threads I've been on, that bitcoiners tend to overuse a lot of buzzwords. Altcoiners Especially tend to use Innovation/Innovative for some reason as well  . The most used words and phrases I've seen are: 1) Innovative 2) Decentralized 3) Centralized 4) Innovation 5) To the Moon 6) Scam 7) FUD 8.) HODL 9) Satoshi 10) ASIC 11) Revolutionary 12) Blockchain 13) Skyrocket 14) Troll 15) Fiat 16) Pump and Dump 17) Whale 18) Goxxed 19) Ponzi 20) Anonymous 21) Bitcoin 22) Cryptocurrency 23) Premine 24) Dev Awesome. Are these words say extracted from the likes or bitcointakl and r/bitcoin or are they observations ? I would love to make a graphic from the actual weighted list. Observations from Bitcointalk. |

I think your in the wrong thread.
I think not. What is killing Litecoin, do you think? It doesn't solve any existing problems. True that. |

You are over analyzing the phrase "community controlled". Anyone is free to modify the code, but like with any open source project, you have to get acknowledgment from existing developers in order to get your changes merged in. Gavin likely meant that any member of the community can make a pull request and have a say regarding the site's content. What is your version of "community controlled"?
The Foundation sponsors the site and thereby helps keep it online, but that's it. They wouldn't have any luck trying to use that to influence the site's content. A lot of people are suspicious of them, so any proposed change that was seen to favor the Foundation would struggle to get merged in. Even Saivann couldn't get away with merging it in outright.
I agree. People in the bitcoin community obsess about transparency and/or "community control" without having a clue about what they're talking about. There has to be a decision making process somewhere, even if the decision is made by a few members. The "Community control" part comes in from github pull requests. Other than that, there's no effective way for something to be "community controlled" as then every single member of the bitcoin community must have a say(bitcoin land is 70% Trolls/Scammers), and absolutely nothing would get down. Transparency and control are two different things. Considering input and control are also two different things. Nobody said "every single member of the bitcoin community must have a say" and that statement is hyperbole. It is the Foundation that is claiming the site is "community controlled." Everybody involved gets defensive and calls people trolls when questions are asked. The site should say the content is controlled by a small group of people sponsored by the Foundation but anyone can supply input to be considered. Isn't that what is really happening? So then how do you think a community controlled website would work? Obviously it would have to be the most adept community members for the job to do the decision making process of what gets added to the site... You're saying things, but give forth no other solutions. |

Why don't GMX lock the obviously stolen email account? They must know about this by now.
Gmx looks like a really really crappy email provider... |
|
|
|

That screenshot pretty much proves the account was hacked into, and not recycled.
Now, all that we need, is the real satoshi to come out like a boss.

Any chance this is all FUD because of all the good news today for Bitcoin!
Apple striking back ?
I think it's a hacker who owns a large amount of Bitcoin himself and doesn't wish to actually hurt bitcoin, as he could of done truly worse things...like pretend that satoshi was going to sell off his bitcoins which would cause a immense price drop. |

I for one am disappointed in the level of trolling displayed here. He could have done something amazing and hilarious with Satoshi's email address, but instead he made a couple of lame jokes, and now everyone knows that the email address is compromised.
Look at the bright side, he could've tried to scam a lot of people that Satoshi might've emailed with. Someone has messed up the Project Bitcoin on Sourceforge too... http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/Buttcoin is a peer-to-peer butt. - WTF ? Lmao. It seems the hacker has a sense of humor. |

Satoshi Nakamoto replied to Satoshi Nakamoto's discussion Bitcoin open source implementation of P2P currency
"Dear Satoshi. Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet. Apparently you didn't configure Tor properly and your IP leaked when you used your email account sometime in 2010. You are not safe. You need to get out of where…"
5 minutes ago So his p2pfoundation account was hacked as well....This is weird. That must mean that the ," I am not Dorian Nakamoto" post was from the hacker aka that hacker must've known where Satoshi is/who he is etc months ago... |
