why the hell litecoin doesn't need dev now?
Summary: when you posted this thread LTC was $0.10 or less.
Now it is $1.70.
Seems like a growing market.

True, so is bitcoin. Fair enough. Although I was quite surprised to hear Coblee saying that litecoin doesn't need development right now. He argued his position well on it, but it still seems like maybe he just has no reason to develop it.
But yeah, 0.10 to 1.70 is great growth. We have to keep that in mind for bitcoin too! :-)

So It's been about two years and I though now was a good time to revisit this.
Of course in the meantime Litecoin hit the moon and then crashed and burned, but the original premise of this question- especially considering how Litecoin has had so little development for a long time now- I think is still valid.
What do people think 2 years on?

i think the past that far back (in crypto terms) holds little relevance to now, eg mt gox collapse will have little influence over anything bitcoin 2 years from now (except when media beat ups re hash it in future scams and crashes).

Pirate stunted the growth of litecoin downwards. meaning upwards growth is in full play.
how you like litecoin now rabbit?
back on topic, yes, yes it did.
Litecoin development ground to a stand still unfortunately after coblee abandoned it.

why did he do that? this sounds unnerving
don''t think he completely abandoned it... (think of it like a vacation from the code) .... and he did this as he honored HIS investment funding from his own pocket in order to cover the losses from Pirates... and ran out of money / LTC and interest perhaps.... colbee still round though right? and there is still access to the github master branch right? so it a project that is still stable and working.. just fewer patches and updates... but there's always someone rummaging in the back of the closet and willing to pick up code etc... and make a few changes / patches
Thats true. There's no reason why these things need to be updated weekly to still be "alive".

Yes, obviously.
Pirate defaulting pretty much harmed everything Bitcoin related, and all cryptocurrencies would be impacted if there was a negative bitcoin event (eg govt declaring it illegal, FBI raids, whatever).

lol who are you correcting? THEN is the proper word to use. THAN would be used in a comparison.
Nope. In all three cases where "then" has been used in the OP, "than" was the correct word to use. It's one of those errors which drives me nuts, too, because those words don't even sound the same so it's hard to understand how you can confuse them when writing (at least brain-farts over two, too, and to are understandable). However, it doesn't detract from the substance of the post so I'm not sure why it was worth mentioning.
It just drives me nuts, that's all. On Facebook, annoying Facebook girls usually make that mistake when they post a half baked rant about something. I guess, the "then" mistake reminds me of them.
you mean people who use use 'then' rather than 'than', then use 'than' rather than 'then'?
I've never seen someone screw "than" rather than "then" oddly enough.

That reminds me, for a brief period of time I taught english when I was younger and I learned that many english teachers have a) no qualifications and that b) more of the world speaks incorrect english than correct english and that the disparity is contributing to a fundamental change in how native speakers speak as well. Come to think of it, maybe legions of unqualified english teachers traveling the world had something to do with this.
I'm reposting this in Alt-coins. I can see this won't get very far here. :-)
