A few questions here from a long time  hobbyist/miner:

- Any plans on updating the wallet to give it a more "updated" look?
- Any plans on scaling, just because "we" can?

Network is working great for years, well done.

Litecoin will always be the Lite version of Bitcoin !

Hold it and wait !

Wait for what?

Litecoin devs to jump on Azure bandwagon?
Here's a link for them if they aren't sure what trending crypto development looks like: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates

Maybe around an hours worth of work. Ask BTS, SYS, etc how that time invested paid off......

The time has come to finish mining btc.

Can anyone tell me , which pool is the best to start with, what wallet etc.
i.e. with btc, there is shit going on with spv and chinese pools, is it similar issue here?

any ltc pools which i should avoid?
Looks like im convert Smiley

thanks for any info

The Chinese dominate the mining scene in LTC. If you think its bad in BTC...about 75% of the total hash power on the LTC network is located in China, and mining on Chinese pools. In fact there are really only a handful of scrypt ASIC producers, all of them located in China. Its not a great situation but its not as bad as some people make it out to be. There is no incentive for the Chinese miners to harm Litecoin, they stand to lose more than anybody else. IMO this is just the result of a free market...the only people who saw profit in producing scrypt asics reside in China. They're either smarter than the rest of us, or we're all just lazy.

As a new miner you should stick to litecoinpool.org (where I'm currently mining) or if you don't mind a small pool, https://www.wemineltc.com/

As for a wallet, Litecoin Core works just fine and you can download the bootstrap file to speed up the blockchain sync. Otherwise if you're ok with an SPV client the Electrum LTC wallet is very good. I assume when you say "shit going on with spv" when referring to Bitcoin you're talking about some of the proposed changes (RBF for example) that could make SPV clients unstable. None of that is going on in Litecoin. SPV clients are just fine, and are not under threat.


Very true. Litecoin is always a nice backup of Bitcoin, which could possibly fail one day before Litecoin. Although such chance is not really high in the forseeable future.

I feel like there really isn't much development in LTC at all anymore, especially when compared to other altcoins with rich development and involvement. 

Continuous development look here at number of releases in past year: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/releases
Upcoming new features look here for whats happening in 2016:
