Litecoin

[SRoulette]

litecoin is always slowly building support, we have been supporting it for ~10 months here http://satoshiroulette.com/?mode=LTC and it definitely has regular users.
You can also see that it is quite actively traded on BTC-e and vircurex.

with that said, i'm personally not sold on the idea that ltc ever be as popular as btc.  like the btc wiki mentions, its unlikely ltc will be the "silver" version of btc because btc already esentially has something like since its divded until many decimals

As bitcoin mining makes the transition toward ASICs, litecoin can/will play the silver rôle for as long as it can be reasonably mined using CPU/GPU. I think there's a healthy market for both cryptocurrencies in the longer term.

I've come across this new crypto currency (litecoin), is anyone here purchasing these coins? What's the possibility that they increase in value, as now they are <$1 a coin. It seems as this may be something to invest in at the moment.

If so what is the equivalent of a Mt.Gox where we can purchase and store the coins?

Thanks

i would wait for a correction down to atleast .008 but after that i would say yes, litecoin is a great investment, probably better than bitcoin in my opinion.

I'd also like an answer on the following question:

@doobadoo

You essentially saying that litecoins aren't decentralized? The concept of BTC being decentralized is what makes them so popular and attractive, this guy can just close shop any day and run with the prize.
