[ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched!

[abonarea]

I don't think that Litecoin will fall again. These dips what happens due to increases in Bitcoin market are in fact chances for many to re-buy at 25%-30% decreased price and then immediately market seems on recovery mode. Litecoin still has to gain lot from the toatl market  share. Cryptoland is changing so set your target accordingly to get lot of it.

the crypt market is overheated, now produces steam, then back to return to the heights and conquer new.

Just switched OS's and put this coin on a CentOS Linux machine. Cent seems to come with a pretty restrictive firewall out of the box. What ports do I need to both forward from my router and open on the CentOS firewall to make the coin get more than 8 connections ?

Like with BTC I had to open / forward port 8333, Ty.

If you haven't read it already, here's yesterday's Coindesk article on Litecoin and Lightning Networks:

Litecoin is now, potentially, the most technologically advanced coin in the crypto-universe with Core developers working on it to deliver full implementations of Lightning, the game-changing 'atomic cross-chain transactions' and other goodies.

"Another point to note: now that SegWit has activated on litecoin, users can begin sending test cross-chain transactions from litecoin to the bitcoin testnet."

When news of full Lightning implementation breaks it will be too late - the train will have left the station.

Where can I find the online wallet for Litecoin? At least the site is really very secure so I can move some of my litecoin to the wallet online

Litecoin uses port 9333.

You may also want to add the following to your litecoin.conf, using 30 as an example but you can use whatever number you prefer:  

Code:

maxconnections=30

Thought so. My dumb ass had it right but forgot to enable the svc in the firewall for the port lol. As for max cons, thx but I generally leave that as a non restriction. Got decent ISP that doesn't really throttle. Last I looked think I had about 12 cons

Just look at chart. long accumulation phase. We need a little BTC up and then LTC will go after BTC. A am waiting price near 0.02 soon.

Great article giving very nice insight into the potential of Lightning Network. Problem is though that the Devs of SegWit activated coins aren't acting on their opportunity and other technologies are already filling the niche first.

Why this foot dragging and lack of action on the part of the SegWit activated devs? I imagine that it's most likely a combination of converging factors from being overwhelmed, to incorrectly thinking that time is not of the essence, to perhaps even possibly thinking that they have a monopoly on the holy grail. AFAIK they aren't even talking to each other about network integration - either that or they're keeping it top secret. What's it been? 60 days now since activation and we've heard nothing? 60 days in crypto is like 60 weeks in the rest of the world - you wake up to find out that nobody needs you anymore because your technology, even though it's good, is not as good as what's already been put to work. They've got to get on it now. I've got a jump start idea that would guarantee Lightning Network almost instant and universal acceptance that I've offered to the SegWit Devs risk free, and haven't even received a reply. I've no idea what's going through their heads.  

Thanks for posting the link!

Totally agree. If LTC doesn't move (now) with advancements, it'll be left in the dark. The price will leave no room for anything (no paid devs, no usage. no nothing). Where are the updates?  If you can't get lightening and smart contracts going now, others will.  If you can't get others to start switching to LTC now, because of its speed, other will. The window and door is open right now, but only for a very short period of time.
