Come show your support to get LTCD and its related news and supporting websites/services into the Coin Market App - Community voice is important to us, and this community is more than welcome to join in the thread to voice your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=792912

The goal of Coin Market App (http://www.CoinMarketApp) is to allow our communities within each coin to stay up to date with information.
Information is king as we all know (Google proved this), and now with this app, its giving each of us easy access to find information for each coin.

When we add LitecoinDark (LTCD) into the Coin Market App, expect related links to show up into the app for Mobile In App Browsing.

Links will be as followed:
- Exchanges and Markets
- Charts and Stats
- Videos and audios
- How to guides/tutorials
- Mining information
- Wikis and Blogs
- Social Communities
- Downloads of clients
- and much more to come

In addition to those links, News alerts is another factor of how we retrieve info through the app. You can expect News to be delivered and notifying of what is happening in the industry instantly in real-time. If news gets published on major outlets like; yahoo finance, pr networks, coindesk, coinreport, etc.. you can expect the app to display that news.

Thank you for allowing us to chat about this app. You can find out more about Coin Market App via the following places

I'm not all that familiar with reddit, but is there also some advantage to having 200 subscribers? Does it get listed somewhere special or something?

Great work is being done and I would like to say thanks again to the devs and community this is just the start of something BIG .I am so proud to be apart of this great moment.

another anonshit
why this coin should be better than monero etc..

Two things:

First, "fix" isn't the right word.  It isn't broken, it's just outdated.

Second,

To expand upon what has already been said:

The blockchain is slow because the difficulty is outlandish.  Bitcoin proper has a maximum adjustment when a retarget should happen. As a descendant of bitcoin, LTCD shares this limitation.  However, when Bitcoin was first introduced, the concept of multipools was foreign, and so there was no infrastructure to protect the network in the case of a massive hash rate decrease.  Recently newer altcoins have introduced alternative algorithms for calculating a proper difficulty retarget to deal with multipool coin switches, and they seem to work rather well.  The two most popular implementations are KGW and DigiShield.

In my own testing, DigiShield seems to be a bit more responsive and accurate, and so I have been working on an adaptation of their algorithm to fit the architecture I'm designing for new updates.  I have been removing difficulty calculation from main.cpp and placing it into the DifficultyShield class (which probably isn't the best name for it, but for now it's what it's called.)  Since difficulty algorithm is being abstracted into OO classes, it will be trivial if, in the future, we need to create a new implementation or algorithm.  Instead of hacking in V1, V2, V3, etc functions, we can simply derive from the base classes and only override the necessary methods.  This also starts the process of removing some of the bloat contained in main.cpp.

I have no idea if this information is useful to anyone, but I hope it serves to clear up some confusion.  The current (1.0) difficulty algorithm isn't "broken".  It works great for Bitcoin.  It works great for Litecoin.  But it isn't the right choice for LitecoinDark, and I believe we have a better solution.
