Right now it's listed as 7 on Vircurex. It was 15 a couple of weeks back. Obviously Feathercoin mining has taken a chunk out of it, but still I am surprised it's fallen like that.
I remember checking just 2-3 days ago and it was 12 or something so it's taken a big hit

With Feathercoin and CNC being several 100% more profitable it's just the GPU miners redirecting their hash rate. Nothing strange about that at all in my opinion. |

Now the next craze is CNC since FTC is dying. Miners go where the most profit is.

litecoin diff increased significantly when its price still going around $3-$4. Let not forget them time when it went down to $1.5 yet diff still increased. |

I think this correction is needed for ltc... Profit margins will increase again and it will regain its place at the top of the alt coins.

Exactly, we're just mining other coins and dumping them as it's more profitable at the moment. |

In the long run I wouldn't be afraid of LTC losing its position. It is by far the most widely supported and well known alt currency. Temporarily the other new alts have taken some hashrate due to higher profitability, but if I had to choose if I want to keep my crypto money in either FTC or LTC for a longer period I would choose the latter without hesitation.

And by us dumping the new coins and flooding markets, we are decreasing their value thus making ltc more attractive as a longterm crypto. |

BitBars is having some serious hashrate at it, since it's still possible to get a few of them by just mining. All these new scrypt coins do hurt litecoin, atleast in the beginning of their adaption. Will be very interesting to see how this looks a week from now, and also a month from now.

Hashrate is down a bit but nowhere near 50%. Allchains.info says litecoin hashrate is about 11 Gh/s right now, which still seems pretty high to me. |

could have said it better. If this continues [a new alt coin everyday] there will not be enough miners to go around and a 51% attack will be a piece of cake on anyone of them! |

Makes me so happy  I'm mining way more coins now and I hope more alts keep popping up and dragging away all the dolts. |

If LTC were already on gox I would say you were right. However I am worried that their postponement will give time for other developments to come out and further weaken the situation. |
