Thanks! I'm thinking of building a miner this summer and start mining LTC but am wanting to know if the miners used for BTC are the same for LTC.

I haven't followed Litecoin, but I'm interested to know if this would be considered the top contender to btc in crypto-currencies?
Well, if crypto-currencies don't go all to shit, they'll run out of Bitcoins to mine. Yeah, they can do that service-charge shuffle. But that's gonna get old. So they'll mine sumthin else. |

How about no. Perhaps later this year when the LTC dev news gets broken / new version comes out and gets traction (hard fork?) and GPU miners switch over from BTC mining but even then, LTC has a long way to go being useful for much IMO. I've only been able to buy one thing with LTC, while I've purchased a dozen or more real world and digital goods with BTC

$10? It's having problems with $2.50!
Yeah, I don't get why it keeps going up and down so much like it is. When I first got into researching cryptos it was at over $4. Then dropped to like 3, then below, then back up to 3.50 or so... LTC is more volatile than BTC I think. |

I'm holding onto my coins in the hope that if LTC getting back up to $5 - which It may do when it becomes tradeable on MT GOX. $10 would make me pee myself with joy... Ok, maybe not.
Today I started mining DGC and WDC. I have no long term faith in these at all, but I figure I can make a small profit by trading out to BTC regularly while I wait for LTC to recover.

Do you think ripples might become more popular than BTC eventually?

It will get there eventually but the end of June is probably a bit optimistic.

I think big players are dumping LTC to buy back cheaper. LTC 0.8.2 beta client was release for testers in linux, so works are being done. When 0.8.2 or higher gets to the public, then it's time to buy because it's heading to GOX, or you can do what big players are doing now, buy them now while they are still cheap.  |

Has there been any word from MtGox regarding trading LTC? I heard it was "in the works" but that was several weeks ago. I was curious if there was some news...
