Observe topics such as
Litecoin Segwit miner support has reached 18% after a day

In their posts they state this Value as the activation #
CSV miner support within the last 24 hours (last 576 blocks) 99 (17.19%)

That is incorrect and they know it.

The correct # to watch is this one:  (This is the one that has to be 75% for segwit to activate, the others are irrelevant to activation.)
Segwit miner support (percentage of segwit blocks signaling within the current activation period)   604 (8.37%)


You can monitor it at this link
http://litecoinblockhalf.com/segwit.php

Only this ones matters for the activation to happen Segwit miner support (percentage of segwit blocks signaling within the current activation period)

Doubtful that 75% of the LTC miners are stupid enough to give away their business of processing LTC transactions fees to an OFFCHAIN service like LN.

Time will tell, but at least now you know which value to check on http://litecoinblockhalf.com/segwit.php , when the above guys are lying to you and claiming it is higher than what it really is. Wink

How segwit & LN will destroy LTC miners Profits if they are stupid enough to activate.

Let imagine segwit get activated, and then LTC connects with LN

LN now LOCKS the majority of LTC in Place on the Blockchain , where it can not be moved.

Now the LN service offers their OFFCHAIN LTC for a slightly lower price than the ONCHAIN version the LTC miners sell.

So everyone then starts buying LN's offchain LTC and use it for all of their transactions and in the Process pay all of their fees to LN.
LN will be faster & cheaper than the ONCHAIN LTC.

So the question then becomes , Why use the ONCHAIN LTC at all, with no one using LTC onchain , the onchain prices drop to nothing and then get brought up by the bankers running LN, so now almost all LTC is Locked and the LN Bankers make all of the money and the LTC Miners all went Bankrupt, so LN now runs a few ASICs to keep the onchain network running , in the rare instance they need an onchain transaction.
They can do this because of all of the money they make from LN offchain transaction fees, and run the onchain LTC mining at a deficient so no one else can complete.  Tongue

Class Dismissed.  Wink
