I think that BTC is pulling down all alts right now, really hope LTC or some other coin will grow faster so it will not happen so much in the future. I think LTc has the potential to be that coin.

The fact that so many litecoin users run full nodes is one reason for such decentralized crypto compared to many other nonsense coins.I would recommend you all to start the full node. The load on your pc is small. If you have litecoin, it's only natural that you also want to protect litecoin and fix it.

Latest prices for the 'supposed' top of the line scrypt-pow miner available to consumers, the Bitmain L3+ (they have a ++ but guys on here have a tiny overclock mod you can make your L3+ into an L3++ should you choose) Anyway at my current rates (data hall month to month controlled climate etc) a 500mh 800watt L3+ makes 68c a day...kinda hard to see how the network is gonna work, LTC wise, with the top of the line scrypt-pow product available (if brave enough price wise) is only making 68c a day. The question becomes...what if the price dumps due to say a mt. gox btc dump...taking LTC along with it? or just the fact that LTC difficulty is at a pretty constant 30% per month (this may change ...so far this month 15% for about 1/2 the month) or GASP Bitmain releases the 'supposed' 1.5gh 400 watt scrypt-pow miner and mines them (as in the past) for 4 months or more...and only offer them as a pre-order available late fall 2018 say.....any 2 of the above would be frigging 'dire' indeed! makes you ponder here are the stats and calcs from www.litecoinpool.org/calc I used my month to month rates...feel free to use yours. Remember this is a free no cost pool that pays at 101% and the calculator reflects this 24 hours 0.02437126 LTC 3.36 USD 2.69 USD 0.68 USD 7 days 0.17059880 LTC 23.54 USD 18.82 USD 4.73 USD 30 days 0.73113772 LTC 100.90 USD 80.64 USD 20.26 USD Right now, we really need a price pump in LTC, but that will simply make more folk by miners...thus difficulty will likely counteract any gains in LTC mining ...thus same loop of low price per mining an L3+. If Bitmain does the usual and makes a new product (the supposed 1.5gh 400 watt miner for scrypt-pow) and does the usual and mines if for 4-5 months before release to consumers...well LTC mining, HOME mining, outside of Bitmain data halls, run at their reduced costs, could be deader than dead with that combo of new equip (only available to bitmain data halls) and pre-order risks and of course a sideways price ..as we have seen... so ...we are back slipping quite a bit anyway, mostly this post is for those who trade and HODL LTC as a heads up for what is going on ...us miners are well, and I mean well, aware of these facts brad |

Searing: Your reasoning sounds good, but to me, the markets looks suspicious. I wouldn't be surprised, if it went below $100, before it goes above $200. Same goes for bitcoin. Whales are either loading up some coins before pump, or trying to sell as many coins as possible here [without pushing price down fast too early] before initiating massive dump. Im watching order books trying to figure out whats going on below surface, but i have no clue yet  There is something fishy going on, whole price action of last couple of days is weird. Im curious what will be the outcome. +many miners can mine with loss for some time, and keep the coins without selling them instantly. some can do it for months until price is favorable again-as they did in the past |

I am a frequent trader of LTC and a big long term holding also. So i am engaged in both the cases. Just waiting for a good news. |

FML so it is a dump in price to set up a massive pump at 'cheap coin' prices etc or it is a dump in price because adoption can't keep up with the reality that mt. gox liguidation trustee has to move 1.9 billion in usd by the end of this year (trustee wants to get paid and the japanese gov't probably wants this whole mt. gox over with...) jeez, either option looks like crap on the above re-read again FML brad |

A hot mess of assumptions and possible outcomes that basically tells you nothing... the catch with all crypto prices...is that if mt. gox trustee dumps say 400 million usd of BTC all assumptions are dorked.... why everyone is sitting on hands and all crypto looks muddied...even with relatively good news where BTC goes LTC follows....uncertainty sucks! |

TA is actually quite accurate, simply because people believe in it, which makes it a self fulfilling prophecy. Resistance and support lines are real, patterns are real, because people expect them to. |

if someone asks you for private key, usually it means that you will lose all of your tokens in a couple of seconds

Litecoin is vying to become a “medium of exchange” for the digital world. Its end goal is to complement, if not fully substitute the slower and more expensive cryptocurrency.
And holders are the winners in this jungle of crypto world.

LTC very well holds the level of 0.016. I think that you can expect a good growth from LTC, when the situation with bitcoin is stabilized and it will stop falling. Recently, light has proved worthy of many crypto-currencies.
Hope, we will see new highs this year)

Yes, this should be one of the most primitive coins. I believe there will be a peak coming again in the future. |

As an aside on Litecoin Mining....with .....supposedly, the latest available and cheapest prices ..current generation machine for offered for consumers by
Bitmain...an L3+ at 500mh and 800 watts...at $135 LTC.well at my current rent/hosting rate...I am currently at 54c a day per L3+ (there is a community supported
overclock on another thread I have heard that is safe...so maybe I could add 10% hash..and make 61c per day...have not got to it yet)
So 54c a day at $135 LTC, this is NOT looking good... the difficulty is still outstripping price by more than a 'bit' IMHO.
At the current difficulty today, I would need, $155 LTC to make over a buck at $1.01 USD....per day...
So again, mostly for those that don't mine or are unaware on this thread, the danger is that even IF the price of LTC went back to $200 bucks...if the
difficulty continues to outstrip what the consumer version miner that Bitmain makes the L3+ as an example..then it will 'complete' centralization
in that, only the mnfg (Bitmain)..that gets these units at 'likely' 20% at cost at worst...with 'supposed' cheap electric....could mine..the rest of us
consumer sized folk buying the consumer versions at the Bitmain prices...would be beyond 'screwed' ....to say that pow-scrypt
mining (LTC) would be centralized would be an epic understatement...which I can't see the price of LTC, reflecting well,
if only Bitmain sized operations suddenly can mine at a profit (meager for them it may be as well)....due to their large economy of scale...
We need a breakout in price for LTC (scrypt-pow mining) and BTC (sha-256) as well...or again, IMHO the price will reflect the elephants in the room
and the obviousness of 'complete and utter' centralization of these coins and price will reflect this badly in price (again, IMHO) and it may be rinse/wash
and repeat on a price spiral down...further...
shudder
edit: Just to clarify I have 22 Bitmain Units up in a data hall....so my idea of me being small and it not working out (all but 6 have ROI'd) should have
some meaning from where I'm coming from on all this.....

i m not a technical guy but wouldn t ltc be fucked it they keep on this path since bitmain will not change their tactics any time soon
the change should come from ltc as i can imagine they see this too that most of their coins are getting mined by one or two company s
if this keeps up problably most people will move away from ltc imo therefore tanking the price
it could happen that script mining will become absolete or the coins that have scriptmining will devalue a lot

Not only that, because is well established currency, one of the oldest projects, it's stable and has cheap transaction costs. |

This market of LTC as far as I understood works in its ways. There are periods when steady increase in its price keeps going on and then similar when there is no visible surge in its price. Satoshi Lite is active and doing his best for this baby so all will be better again. Just need supportive market and LTC will be flying like before.
