There is a lot of talk about atomic swaps amongst the devs (something to look forward to I guess). Hash rate is already at 100PH/s. 5000+ members in the discord channel... It's only been forked for a little over two weeks.
The future is bright indeed! I think the Litecoin Cash team will surprise us all.
That's the advantage of a fork because you immediately get all those people interested who receive free coins. A good bootstrapping method so to say.
Hmm not sure about that one.... Sometimes the community whose coin gets forked can also turn into a very hostile crowd bashing the fork.
You are actually right about that, but I think there are some forks that sometimes also make sense from a technological point of view and then they should also get more support from the bootstrapped part of the community.
