So an alt. coin is simply taking the cryptocurrency pie and slicing it up into a smaller portion stealing thunder fom Bitcoin and it's value diluting its user base. Competing standards are always a bad thing. and in no way would a rival alt. coin and user base generate greater awareness of cryptocurrency and draw an even greater number towards both ultimately benefiting both.

I can post those later this evening, Coblee can let me know if an adjustment is in order , whether the L with a line (see below) is of use, if it looks to many like a "t" it wouldn't be ideal.
If anyone knows the font used in the text for "litecoin" that would be good to know.
(Ł or ł, described in English as L with stroke, is a letter of the Polish, Kashubian, Sorbian, Łacinka (Latin Belarusian), Łatynka (Latin Ukrainian), Vilamovian, Navajo, Dene Suline, Inupiaq, Zuni, Hupa, and Dogrib alphabets, several proposed alphabets for the Venetian language, and the ISO 11940 romanization of the Thai alphabet. In Slavic languages, it represents the continuation of Proto-Slavic non-palatal l (see dark L). In most non-European languages, it represents a voiceless alveolar lateral fricative or similar sound.)

It's better to check LTC pricing against USD than Using LTC/BTC. Think btc-e will be offering LTC/GBP soon
It's all really about new users as I would find it hard to believe a Bitcoin enthusiast woud wake up and think I've had enough of Bitcoin I'm moving to (insert alt. coin here).
I do see the point that it's what an alternate offers that woud give it value as I agree an exact photocopy of Bitcoin aka "Bitcoin 2.0" would only dilute bitcoins value.
It's maybe the phrase "litecoin is silver to bitcoins gold" (not sure who coined it) , that caught my attention.

Is there a wallet that can make on the fly conversion between LTC and BTC? That makes sense rather than merchant services needing to deliver LTC options. That's quite interesting, from what your saying a new user should use Bitcoin first and foremost and certainly any interest in litecoin shouldn't come at the expense of Bitcoin. This certainly might not be what you were indicating , but you mention something disastrous happening to Bitcoin-If wallets could make conversion from BTC - LTC , could an alt. coin act as a back-up or fail safe in a worst case scenario for Bitcoin that was hard wired in whereby all btc could instantly be transferred to the next most used coin. Then just rename it Bitcoin |

That's certainly better than the see though design used on litecoin.org. I've only been looking at litecoin a couple of days so really you can write what I know on the back of a stamp It just struck me the logo looked smudged especially at small scale.  |

If there is to be 4 times the number of litcoin does that suggest that litecoin may achieve a quarter of bitcoins price, or is that totally dependent on merchants being able to accept both litecoin and Bitcoin and is that impractical?.

I've been taking a look into litecoin there seems to be a consensus that it would compete for the attention of current Bitcoin users as such its a bad thing, isn't there an argument in favour of having more than one crypto-coin, I would have thought that for anyone that hadn't heard of Bitcoin the idea it wasnt a one trick pony in that there's a few competing coins would add weight to the fact these are the future and here to stay rather than something that looks like a one off ongoing experiment for enthusiastic techies. Is it likely bit pay etc. could offer checkout in any alt-coin of choice?  |

Litecoin forum would have been a good place to start This is the best I could do with limited time, very crude - only attempting to see where litecoin is in relation to bitcoins timeline from there starting point , could be wrong but I think litecoins over half way towards the point where Bitcoin formed a bubble ?  |

Thanks for the post smoothie - never even given a thought to litecoin till recently it being silver to bitcoins gold seems reasonable. If I've started looking I shouldn't imagine I'm alone in that . If btc keeps gaining momentum (and price) then I would think its only a matter of time before we see litecoin make some (possible) amazing % gains. Disclaimer : I've started buying litecoin so I could be biased in the statement above maybe images of rockets and moons might be slightly over-optimistic at this point in time |
