If anyone has been watching the hash distribution for LTC.  You surely have seen the "unkown" spikes in hash rate.   I wonder with coinotron down atm if they may actually cause problems.  Currently Unkown has 32.9% total network hashrate.

Could they actually 51% LTC?

FAQ from that very link:
Quote
“Unknown” has just doubled its speed! Is someone attacking the network?
Usually when people ask that it's because some pool is temporarily down and its stats are unavailable. Since the total hash rate estimate takes hours to reflect speed changes, and the speed of unknown miners is computed by subtracting the hash rates of all the known pools from the total, the network share of the unavailable pool increments the “Unknown” portion of the chart.

It would be incredibly difficult to 51% LTC. 

Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th.  The Attorney: I would advise you do that.  Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor?  The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law.

don't think so to have a 51% attack would require that they OWN 51% OF ALL KNOWN LITECOIN COINS so as it has been pointed out it would be very hard and costly... having said that i would the cash needed to do it  Cool
