Miners are the hard workers that drive the system and DESERVE to be rewarded. That's why they deserve a FAIR coin like litecoin.
That's why it's probably one of the only altcoins that I see future in. However, you know that the creators initially taught that LTC would be CPU-only... GPU is the king now because it has massive parallel operations and massive memory bandwidth. In fact, even GPU are really bad at this task, but there just so many 'bad for this kind of job' units on the newer generation of cards that it surpass CPU.
However, I can't touch LTC with my FPGA! So I keep to PPC for now, as it's twice as profitable than BTC. With the difficulty raise, it's good to know that I can at least avoid ASICMINER increasing difficulty for a little bit more longer! After all, I did hard work too with those FPGA design/programming/software interface/etc.
GOD I wish I'd heard of Bitcoins earlier... I heard for it the first time in August 2012. But I have my FPGA functional and mining since around new year (100% as a personal/hobby project), and even then, I added boards later and are at 2.2GH/s only since a month. Had I did this project a hear earlier...
