A lot of bitcoin related software has been marked as "trojan" by antivirus companies because these modules/programs have been frequently included in botnets and viruses in effort to get compromised computers to do the mining (for botnets).

This was true for regular miners such as guiminer etc.

Make sure your link comes from a credible source. If it does, i wouldn't worry about this.

Cool cartoon.  However, I would pave the road though.  The recent price raise has not only fueled new development and support, but also turned the dirt road to an asphalt.

LTC is supported by many people here who have been involved in bitcoin from the beginning.  The goal was not to create something different, but create a bitcoin derivative which solved problems and potential problems that were observed by the developers in the bitcoin scene. ASICs are being one of these problems.

People are entitled to their choices and opinions.

I choose both.

This is the problem with TRC.  Any large miner with an ASIC can get in, raise the difficulty and then leave, leaving everyone stranded.

Until the network is large, it will be very easy to either do this or to perform a 51% attack.

notroll.in has a very good DDoS protection, so it stays up most of the time.

personally, I like litecoinpool.org
