Topic: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched! - page 207. (Read 1467278 times)

It is matter of time when LTC will be back at some reasonable percentage like it was in past. I also fully agree once the lightening network based transactions are live LTC will be used widely which means more value automatically. Hold on your horses to remain the game.

I guess LTC will be always Silver

and price will skyrocket someday 

Indeed! LTC will be up soon but nobody know when it will....one of the best project .. hold for long time.

LTC target price in 2018   150$ 200$ ?

Litecoin is a great project, and considering Lightning Network is a huge step forward for LTC, I do believe it is possible for ATH to happen! Well, I dont know for sure about this year, but definitly is gonna happen in first quarter of 2018

Can anyone predict if this coins price will ever be like ETH?

me too I just bought some coin on exchange you never know what will happen with litecoin, strange price still quite cheap but better to buy earlier than when the pump will come!

i bought a lot, but to be honest then i bought even more, but cant handsle volatility so put all into L3, might sell on the way up a little bit, i think its time for another crazy bull...

i just buy 500LTC for HODL

Upcoming LTC Technology

1. MAST
What does it do? It allows more privacy by hiding lumped transactions through a Merkle root. It also allows for complicated smart contracts. Smart contracts are currently capable on the LTC blockchain, it just takes up a lot of space.
When will it be released? Of all the tech, this is the closest to being released. Perhaps in the next Core release update. (But who knows?)
2. Lightning Network
What does it do? Allows instant transactions and reduced fees.
When will it be released? The LN isn’t being developed by the Litecoin Foundation specifically. It is being developed by Lighting Labs. There is a prototype wallet called ZAP! by jack mallers. If you’re a coder, you can help them test it. That being said, it will take a significant amount of time in order for the LN to create a fully functional product. Perhaps a year to create stable wallets. Multiple years to scale it out.
3. Atomic Swaps
What does it do? It allows people to trade one coin for a different coin without an exchange. This is called cross-chain swaps. It actually utilizes LN to do it.
When will it be released? Charlie reported that LTC and Decred just did an official test run but that was not through the LN. If it takes a year for stable LN wallets, it will take longer to build AS on top of that and even longer to integrate it into the mainstream.
4. Covenants
What does it do? You are able to select LTC to be bound together and stay together no matter what. When LTC blocks are formed, all the LTC are lumped together. Covenants will allow chosen LTC not to be lumped in with the other coins but be continually bound together. This allows Colored Coin application. It also allows “vaults” which will be added to Litecoin core. You basically lock it up so in case someone gets your priv keys, it has a delayed transaction time (let’s say a day) for it to be sent out without interruption. But you have a special “key” that lets you spend the LTC faster than the ones your attacker is sending. Pretty cool stuff. More security.
When will it be released? Honestly, I have no idea. Right now, it doesn’t seem to be a high priority from what I understand.
5. Confidential Transactions
What does it do? Allows anonymity between LTC transactions, something similar to Monero.
When will it be released? Charlie recently expressed in an interview that he thinks this might be the next project to work on. So I assume once MAST is implemented, they will focus on this next. My general guess would be in about a 6 months to a year.
6. Colored Coins
What does it do? Allows LTC to be repurposed to be attached to an asset. Yes. That means ICO’s. But think bigger and be more creative. Johnson Lau speculated you can assign LTC to a computerized car like Tesla. Your LTC could be given the property to act like a key to your car which you could send via your mobile phone. mind blown
When will it be released? I’m not sure this is very high on their priority list. BTC might take the lead before LTC on this one. Maybe 2 years?

( Do you think that LTC will reach a new ATH still this year? Is the Lightning Network going to be massively used in the nearest future?)
I recently read a lot of good news about Litecoin. Dev is still very active. I think it will grow well next month.

Litecoin will keep growing. Slowly but surely.

It will never go skyrocket but will keep taking value over the months. There is a strong community behind.

I am sure it will but we don't know when it will be the time, I think this year it could be possible, litecoin project is still great project to invest, hold your coin safe

Do you think that LTC will reach a new ATH still this year? Is the Lightning Network going to be massively used in the nearest future?

SatoshiLite had good vision.

We have full confidence in all our leaders.

No wonders already not seen.

The rational thing to happen would be for Bitcoin to take a massive dump after the fork dragging Litecoin down with it then all that cash should rush back into low priced alts driving Litecoin to ATHs but crypto is anything but rational so who knows.

i bought Litecoin in March 2017 for $4 

Liitecoin is the most profitable altcoin, I'm glad because the price keeps going up and next year's price target is $ 180 or 300% from now.
