Crusaders vs P&D crew - has to be dull for the regulars to watch. Sorry you P&D guys are losing this one. But thanks for the coins.

*sigh* another thread hijacked by bickering between the "hype-spitters" and "self-righteous crusaders".  can we just agree that everyone sucks, and let the thread be about the coin and its developments?

Agreed - Was hoping it would taper off and just focus back on the coin... But, the crusaders are just as bad as the PnDs.

you could try deleting the peers.dat file and close the wallet then restart it. Back up your wallet.dat file though and give it a few mins to sync

Price has already gone up quite a bit today, too. I have only seen it decrease a few times so that's awesome. On Cryptsy, we're ranked 14 for daily volume of BTC13.5 today. Meaning we might beat the volume of BTC15 from yesterday.

Wonder what the price is going to be after the fork.

[voodoo1967]

yes I was watching bittrex last night and some one was trying there best to bring the price down lol .The going price was 1365 and someone put 1.2 btc worth for sale at 1288 lol. LIke why would they try to sell well below the going rate hmmm lol. People are being played out of their coins for cheap lol don't fall for it .

Double check your version number on the about page.  Should say 1.1.2-dev if you're on the right wallet.  The block number you posted suggests you're using the 1.2 wallet which is now defunct due to the failed fork.

Once we hit 100 subscribers

I'm not all that familiar with reddit, but is there also some advantage to having 200 subscribers? Does it get listed somewhere special or something?

the more users it rises the position on the reddit as well helps on coingecko as well . Coingecko take lots of things in to account for a coin and help make the total score of the coin. We have gone up to 33rd spot from 37 since yesterday on coingecko.com

Wow, some nice fud the last few pages from people that want a P&D coin and don't have any clue as to what it takes to develop something so I'll offer my perspective.

The roadmap "dates" are immaterial.  Things on that list will be delayed, they will switch places and some will be dropped and new things added. That's the nature of development as new ideas come out and/or you hit difficulties.  All that matters is that there is constant progress even if it's slow at times.  And it will be slow at times as the dev tackles some of the more difficult features.  That's going to cause the price to fluctuate as the day traders and those in the coin for quick profits manipulate things.  That's natural and anyone investing in the coin needs to understand that and ignore all those that will come in the thread whining about it.  I'll be blunt though.  As someone that has a lot of development experience, when I look at the roadmap, I believe that many of the items on there will get shifted by a couple weeks as the development time for some of them feel too short to me.  IMO things will stretch out to more like Feb 2015 for the completion of all the listed features.

Yes, right now LTCD doesn't offer much but it's the devs (TrollByFire) vision that is important here.  Outside the features outlined, what's more important is that he's developing a coin that is more akin to being plug and play.  The features are being developed in a modular manner with the Difficulty shield being the first part of that.  If a new difficulty method was needed, it's just a matter of dropping in a replacement.  Once Tor is done, if there are issues with it or it needs a security upgrade, you drop in a new module.  Adding new features down the road also becomes more along the lines of dropping in a new module which, although not always a given, would not require recompiling the core.

PoS vs Tor switching places.  Anyone that thinks Tor is somehow more important than PoS, is only interested in the coins current price and short term profits.  PoS is an important step (along with the block reward change), towards long term stability and viability of the coin.  As such it's very important it gets done "now".  Based on a conversation I had with the dev a couple weeks ago, it's also my understanding that this will be a "new" method that will improve upon some of the issues inherent in PoS coins that are based on the old "coin age" method in coins like Peercoin.  The one thing I really don't like though is that the whitepaper says 0%.  Coins will be lost etc as time progresses and IMO there needs to be some marginal rate along the lines of 2%.

Reward change.  Ok, yeah, that's been a bit of a mess.  First there was the failed implementation but that sort of thing will happen at times.   Interestingly, there was 3 or so other coins that had block chain issues and even a coin hack at the same time.  One of those took a couple weeks of the network basically being down to get fixed.  Since then there's been the miscommunication about when it would finally be implemented since the initial announcement about the wallet update said it was a mandatory update which many took to mean it included the block reward change.  Well that shit happens especially with a new team that are learning how to communicate with each other.  But it does not mean that somehow the dev isn't implementing it as some have suggested.

To sum up, when you're writing new code and/or changing the underlaying code, development takes time and cannot be predicted to exact dates.  If you want to invest in a coin, then invest in the dev, his vision, and the strength of the community.  If you're looking to "get rich quick", find a pump and dump coin.
