Actually, litecoin client is very well maintained by a team of very competent developers.
The overall mentality of the development behind litecoin is "reliability first"... It is sort of like debian vs. ubuntu. Ubuntu is always new and shiny, but developers of debian (from which ubuntu was derived) consider reliability and security to be highest priority.
LOL Coblee seems like an alright guy, but Greedi is far from anything I would call competent Greedi is not a dev, LaSeek and Coblee however are.

PPC source isn't closed, it's just not really discussed to any extensive manner by the developer and the vulnerabilities that are suspected to come along with PoS systems also aren't really talked about.
What do you think would be more fair, extremely unexplained and undocumented source?

ALT Coins that belong on an exchange. Opinions ? Pros/cons please. I am not figuring in premine, just reliability of the coin its self with regard to its developers and potential market.
The ones I feel should be accessible on any exchange.
BTC LTC DVC NMC BBQ - Not sure if there is anything wrong with this now that the 51% attack it got hit with at launch is no longer an issue(for the moment) perhaps the next up and comer?
All of which are not likely to be 51% (at least not anymore in bbq's case.)
Iffy coins that I am on the fence about supporting in any manner.
PPC - Closed source, flaws that there are no proof have been fixed. Based on feedback: Extremely unexplained and undocumented source. Dubious reputation of developer. NVC - Same as PPC. TRC - Appears to be a prime target for a 51% and may not survive due to it based on recent events. BTE - Same as TRC. XRP - Not mined, not really a crypto currency.

Hehe, very interesting indeed. Add me to the tally of admirers. I don’t suppose any financial support is needed? ^.^
We have 2 investors we are talking to, but if they dont ever come through or we cant come to a good agreement.....or if we finish funding ourselves (original plan and doing well toward this direction now) then we will ask.

One question, likely something jasinlee would feel fine disclosing: Do you intend to work with one of the authors of a popular mining program to get bitstream support or are you making your own mining software solution? We are working on both actually. Although probably not in the way you are thinking. We want to enable people to have a simplified method of solo mining with the fpga. But we also want it to be compatible with the most common miners. We are not that far yet that is in the final phases.
