Tyler Winklevoss has weighed in on Litecoin: https://www.inverse.com/article/41773-litecoin-tyler-winklevoss-cryptocurrency-bitcoin-billionaireAt a speaking event on Tuesday, Facebook pioneer and bitcoin billionaire Tyler Winklevoss took that point to its logical conclusion. By his reckoning, Litecoin isn’t the silver to bitcoin’s gold, or the Vegeta to bitcoin’s Goku, as coin creator and Dragon Ball Z fan Charlie Lee is fond of tweeting about. Rather, he said Litecoin is basically one big beta test for potential bitcoin features rather than an end in and of itself.
The technical term that Winklevoss used is “testnet,” which is any alternative bitcoin blockchain designed strictly for testing purposes. A testnet has its own coins, but this cryptocurrency is not supposed to accrue any actual value. Developers can experiment with the testnet without posing any actual risk to the all-important main bitcoin blockchain.
Of course, there’s a big difference between a testnet that has no value and Litecoin, which has a market capitalization of $11.8 billion. Litecoin hold for more than a year, it does not grow particularly fast. I hope this year it will grow more than last year. Actually Litecoin boomed tremendously in the past 9 months. I remember it was around 40 last summer, while it is above 200 right now. Not to mention the spectacular pump and dump scheme where it reached ~300 and then Charlie Lee announced his sell off  In any case, this coin increased its value so much, that honestly i don't see any potential to continue growing rapidly with its current state and all the negative news lately (litepay, forks, etc.) Disclaimer: I am a LTC holder |

Why so little activity here?
Who is chinese and follows metaverse intensivly?
Is there a chinese community that is very active we are not seeing?
Upped this good question. March has already comes. What about news and reports about done work? Do we deserve for support? Best wishes! I wish someone could answer this as well. I am medium size ETP holder and with everyday I am getting more and more frustrated. Listed on one of the biggest exchanges in the world on one side and almost 0 activity or info from dev team on the other. I have seen scam, daily live coins on bitcointalk which have thread of hundreds of pages, while we have only a few (or to be precise 19 pages) here... |

Are the A3’s profitable, I don’t know much about them or the coin it mines?
If you ask what-to-mine website, this is the most profitable ASIC in the world today. it can mine only 1 coin - siacoin, traded at a legit exchange like Bittrex. No doubt this is the reason why it is sold out. Will this ROI continue to be like this however, nobody knows. |

I am really partially confused and partially sad guys, really. As a LTC holder...
So all of a sudden the card issues fails the litepay network launch, for sure this was not a last minute news and was known well in advance. Why don't LTC developers bother to inform us? I really have respect for Charlie Lee, but still, come on, why not disclosing such info. I am pretty sure what will happen now - price of LTC went up after the initial news of Litepay a few weeks ago, now it is dropping with app. 10 usd per day (not to mention how strong it drops against BTC) since the failure news.
I am really sad if this was just the next in turn pump and dump scheme, so disappointing...

I am currently working on a simple exchange platform for Koto. Will be done in one to two weeks, so stay tuned. I will need some testers, so if you have some testnet funds in btc, eth, koto etc. please contact me So you will be doing a pool with an integrated exchange ? The pool has nothing to do with it. Maybe I will use the same domain at first, but the tradingsite in beta will be for Koto, LTC, Bitcoin and ETH. It's super simple and doesn't require accounts. You just enter the coin you want and the coin you have. Then your address and the address of the other person. Then a site gets generated where both parties can send their funds and after both are received, both parties receive their funds. It's just a basic escrow site. yeah, I was just about to say - as escrow It seems interesting, keep us posted on the progress for sure. |

Guys, can someone guide me to the support page of slushpool, as I have a question for them.
I found out that link, but for some reason it wont let me login with my slushpool email/pass :S
That isn't the official help page for slush. This is: https://slushpool.com/help/Thanks, another question. Let's say I have 0.1 btc (my threshold is 0.5 btc), but I want to withdraw only a part of that amount at the moment. If I lower the threshold to 0.03 for example, is this what will happen: 0.03 btc will automatically be paid out 0.07 btc will remain in my pool account |
