I think harningt is bringing the Litecoin code fork (client and server) back to life

My intent for Litecoin is to get it in the Android client and do any patchwork to get a running Litecoin server working.

In my initial tests, it looks like getting Litecoin running underneath ABE worked fine when I did some tests (though no pruning/etc so huge DB). I'll need to get that up-and-running soon again... (had to select a specific version of ABE, a specific version of electrum-server, and do some ugly massaging).

A side-effect would be that the original old Litecoin electrum /should/ be compatible with the server and 'just work'... though of course there's the Litecoin issue of fee calculation being complex that would likely need to be done (or just set the fee really high to always get it through).

Once I get more of the Android client going (it's getting harder to get time Sad) I'll publish the algorithm that's needed to calculate the "proper" fee, ideally alongside the litecoind code so that it's easier to validate.

So... in short.

Litecoin client-side being brought to Android / Java.
Litecoin server-side being patched-together sufficiently to serve client.
Litecoin servers brought up by donors

This is what is great about the open source community.

this is one of those ideas i've had that just never came to fruition. i will have to concede defeat for now.
