Will Litecoin pass 10$ by the end of June?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Such an extreme increase of value could likely only result, in such a short of time, if Gox implement LTC.

Doubtful, Litecoin has been keeping a pretty steady ratio to Bitcoin, if anything I expect it to decrease with the influx of miners running from the ASICs. That's why I am mining ATM, not buying.

Not many others [retail-wise] implementing LTC either, so no. <10$ thru xmas. |

Wouldn't the increase in popularity cause an increase in price? |

The end of June is only 2.5 weeks away, unless you know something we don't?

The spike in value really came when the speculators arrived. I have no doubt cryptocurrency is the future, but I think Litecoin has a bit of growing up to do first. If it hits $10 all the speculators will bail and possibly take the coin down with them. |

I haven't followed Litecoin, but I'm interested to know if this would be considered the top contender to btc in crypto-currencies?

To rehash the tired old quote, Bitcoin is like gold, Litecoin is like silver. In theory when all coins are mined Bitcoin will be used for larger transactions like buying a house or a really (really, really) nice car, Litecoin will have more coins minted in circulation so it can take care of smaller transactions.

Unless a major exchange were to start trading it, no way.

Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense. Although, I think that it would be more beneficial as a whole for everyone to get behind one crypto-currency (Bitcoin), rather than chase all these other upstarts. Bitcoin hasn't even matured. If everyone stuck with one, that currency would advance more rapidly - and reach a larger audience, which leads to more users. I tend to think that, like Tor, the more users - the more anonymity. It also increases the integrity of the network. Just my opinion. |

I agree with you, but there is money to be made with the altcoins and the draw is too much...look at feathercoin when it arrived, some people made out like bandits before it crashed, then rose up and crashed again.

Not june. Probably by end of Aug. That is what am hoping as the GPU miners will no longer be profitable to mine btc's, they are going to turn to alt coins.
My 2 cents.

If gox added litecoin it will go up to $15.
If Gox adds Litecoin it will go back up to $2.49. I'm surprised at how many people seem to be hanging out for this event - In my opinion it'll be a total anti-climax. |

How are Litecoins currently being mined? With what hardware?

I use 3 HD 7970 Vapor-x cards running CGminer. I hash at 2.150 Mh/s. (To compare I hash at 1800 Gh/s with Bitcoin) No asics for scrypt yet so small timers like myself with gpus can still play.
