F2Pool Controls Over Half of the Litecoin Network’s Hashrate Right Now
Something is wrong with the Litecoin hashrate distribution.To be more specific, F2Pool currently controls 52.4% of the entire mining hashrate. Earlier today, that number was closer to 56%. It is unclear what is happening exactly, although it seems the situation will be rectified soon. It looks as if someone directed a lot of ASIC mining power to this pool over the past few days.

This is a bad development when more than half of hashrate is in the hand of one pool

LTC difficulty going down from 28k to 20k. Is there any reason for this? Antpool is down....

Whats this about Uber and LTC?

Fake news.    But the first search result (the Steemit post) has a nice breakdown of what LTC has to offer anyway. 

Could be a early indication of things to come though.

i m not financial advisor, but its you have now LTC like me, better hold after Bitstamp launch this new pairs  LTC/USD   , LTC/EUR ,  LTC/BTC

How long after launch?

I do not have an estimated time to predict the rise, the same happened with xrp but I only warned of having the xrp in exchanges, look for my post in the xrp thread, it was 500 and cheap btc.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1376988.msg17867480#msg17867480

melea last call cheap xrp here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg17898854#msg17898854

You can look and see that I do not call to buy those coins once they went up, I only post when I know they went up like a lot.



This time with LTC is the call, so I hold them until I believe that you do not rise any more, I will not say how much but my expectations are high. Bitstamp its not a game. I do not want to extend myself to talk about rates for wd, segwit or other reasons besides bitstamp that I know will boost it. But I am not recommending anything, I say what I am going to do. Do not follow me for that, investigate your other coins too many.


Just take a sit and enjoy.  


Note: "i regret not taking profit at 19, which my friends already advice many times to get out"

my experience:

Last Christmas I told a friend I had, buy btc eth xrp dash and etc, he said to me: I told you what you are crazy, I keep the money at my grandmother's house.!  ME: That day I decided that he was an stupid man in world, if you stupid, and never speak to him again and cut off all relationship with him. why? And if I had listened to the stupid one? Today I would surely be in an asylum for not believing in me. My advice is to manage your money and your car. take care of them.  REALITY

Charlie Lee is back into Litecoin and he said by himself that LTC is the moon now as he will concentrate on its development to make it big again. Litecoin is next to be pumped hard whenever it will be to take it higher and higher. I am bullish at Litecoin since I see him coming back to it.

Lightcoin and Dogecoin are corpses, they are the only of a few coins that did not reach past highs

A corpse can not be revived

They're still in the top 20 according to market capitalization where doge is 18th and ltc is at the 6th spot, so I wouldn't call them corpses yet. There's billions traded in ltc and millions in doge. I suppose call them that when market cap drops to less than a hundred...

Very good news.

And timely!

"Since the Litecoin ecosystem is yearning for growth and the ability to be more competitive with other cryptocurrencies, Lee’s entrance back onto the scene is an extraordinary event. It is perfect timing. This is especially true since Segwit use is currently being tested." - https://news.bitcoin.com/charlie-lee-resigns-from-coinbase-to-focus-on-litecoin/


For those speculating just what this might mean for Litecoin, an executive summary of his time at Coinbase might give us a very good idea.

"During his career at Coinbase, Lee led the Coinbase development team to innovate and improve the efficiency, flexibility and functionality of the wallet platform and digital currency exchange. The efforts of Lee and his team at Coinbase allowed Coinbase to secure 7.7 million customers, which officially made Coinbase the second largest bitcoin wallet platform behind Blockchain.

Over the past few years, Coinbase has processed over $6 billion worth of digital currency trades across 32 countries it supports. Most recently, Coinbase became the first company within the cryptocurrency market to reach a billion dollar valuation." - https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/charlie-lee-ends-his-coinbase-career-to-focus-on-litecoin-development/

Im all for litecoin mooning but watching a dev hype with moon memes isnt a good look. The proof is in the pudding not moon memes.

[mrsky]

So bullish LTC, loving it. They need to step up their game at the marketing front tho - as well as dev of interesting UI for user interaction with Segwit and other applications.
I see Trezor is already deploying some Segwit for the masses and that's great - but looking forward to see more.

2017 is the year of LTC, it'll rise as a Phoenix from the ashes. (from market perspective, still needs to break the psychological USD50 barrier - and Bitcoin people need to understand LTC is their ally, not enemy on this cryptocurrencies "war")

Funny to see all the shill/newb accounts dumping on LTC.

LTC can't be no silver as to BTC is gold when it is too costly to invest into compared to total coins that will ever be available (4x that of BTC's Total Coin Cap)

LiteCoin was created to be the younger brother or sister if you may want to call it of the Major Leader at the time and that is what it has been ever since.

If LiteCoin is now the testing playground for Bitcoin ideas then the roles might be reversed but hey if 1 man (Charlie Lee) is the face of LTC like how the invisible Satoshi was to Bitcoin before The Core Devs came then It could have a future use chance.

Everyone knows Bitcoin is expensive even more in this moving era and people want a cheaper everyday use alternative that offers almost identical features.

Remember LiteCoin is a true Legacy coin that has survived the thousands of altcoins that have been created over the periods of time since altcoins were starting to become popular as a cheaper alternative means before they started to just get silly.

Take a look at DogeCoin, pretty much the same old first popular fun coin that holds so little value individually but has a following due to its simplicity and target audience, personally I think of DOGE as a donation currency for causes instead of a market leader due to what it is about.

LTC is meant to be my schrappers to my BTC notes

Litecoin I have not used for a while but I see its still at the top usage wise ranking number four  going by volume.   Can anyone let me know the processing times for transactions and usual fees, I was going to use it for sending a few times maybe and dont want to get caught up in any logjam I was unaware of.   Is the segwit working out well ?  Sorry if this information is listed somewhere, just thought I'd ask for the general health and progress by regular users
