"Curecoin to beat Litecoin!"

let's get serious here , this crap will never overtake Litecoin.

Do you have a particular reason for this?

Litecoin has been around much longer and is seen by the community as being Bitcoin's silver. It's much more than just a coin, and what it contributes or doesn't is irrelevant. It's going to be tough to kick it off the pedestal people have put it on.

I disagree. I think coins that don't contribute anything will eventually die out. I think when it no longer contributes anything it will die out (such as scrypt not working anymore). Still it will require effort.

Darkcoin's anonymity features can be built on top of Litecoin. Darkcoin is horribly launched and premined trash.

China seemed more enthusiastic about litecoin than the west. There seemed to be more litecoin infrastructure there.

I think it's slow reduction in crypto's has hurt litecoin proportionally more than bitcoin.
Also, it's going to be interesting to see what happens to litecoin when the block reward halves, sometime in October.

So by that logic you also feel that Bitcoin is going to die off now, right? I just can't fathom that, being that there are hundreds of millions of dollars invested already and many other big-name people are coming on board. If either of those died, I would be pretty amazed.

Is there really any direct statistical correlation between a pre-mine and the success of a coin ?

I believe bitcoin was extensively pre-mined, & people here are saying litecoin was majorly premined.

a lot of junk/scam currency use the pre-mine as one of their strategies, but it seems a premine, in spite of it's dangers, is not in & of itself the kiss of death.

The pre-mine doesn't affect it because it depends what percent and what it was used for. A lot of junk coins use it but good coins that have it (such as Litecoin) use it for something useful to further the services that accept the coin ect. which is why it isn't the kiss of death.

darkcoin has a better chance to do so, litecoin is beatable, seeing how it doesn't offer anything new anymore, because no difference between scrypt and sha256 now

yes a horribly launched premined coin will overtake Litecoin.

funny thing is that litecoin was instamine even worse lmao

And the premine was for the folding and no one has access - if the developers tried to take any you could sue them in the US.

And as was already said - litecoin launch was worse.
