Do you have a source/link showing they are thinking of new features? LTC hasn't had any new developments for years...

Litecoin core drops are pretty big developments, people just take it for granted, Which is really naive. Litecoin paces BTC almost step for step.

I don't have the link handy, but you can search Reddit for some top level descriptions of the privacy developments. Some members of the community are disappointed that there isn't a distinct road map for its deployment. I could t care less about the feature, but LTC needs to compete with dash. Since LTC is resistant to branding, it needs to rely on iron clad stability and integrating features such as scalability and privacy enhancements to do so and appeal to new crypto users.

No, but right after bitcoin, LTC is the most trusted and most widely known and accepted coin. ETH is still unfinished and untested without real word exposure and experience.

Agreed it was Litecoin that got me in the game and that happened because it was adopted on famous site i used.

It's about time their devs works double time to regain their lost glory Litecoin to me is still the silver in the crypto currency world it would take a lot for the other coins to catch up only Ethereum is the legit contender in the silver spot..

Uhh it sort of faded away when GPU miners start mining it LOL

Remember that was why they made it ?
Or did you show up her elate and spout off with out having done your homework ?

Nice to hear there is something happening with Litecoin although I have only heard it here, I will need to look around and find out more information.

Stealth feature though? is there a massive need for this add-on as this was a huge selling point for the hundred altcoins we have seen over the last year or so, if it has a real purpose then great but if it is just going to be added on for the sake of saying "we are now stealth" then it would do more damage perhaps.

I think there is merit to private transactions or having the option of such. Lot's of honest people and businesses may not want their transactions tracked for many reasons.

word of mouth source only but has never given false info before.
Also I added a question mark for more confirmational info to be brought here.

He actually used the word privacy not anon if there is a difference I'm not sure.

I don't think so. Litecoin is not having any development for a long time and I don't think they will add stealth features. Litecoin is boring compared to all the 'new' coins we are having.

Not sure why Spoederman would boycott Litecoin over adding a feature. There's not enough to separate it from Bitcoin now, so it seems like they should be doing something...

More usage is priority and i didn't noticed those anon coins have sup success in using of their features.
But still is good possibility to have it. LTC must have more real life usage.

ETH can not compete with a REAL coin LOL "Newbie"

Litecoin has proven itself and ETH has not.

LTC does not need "stealth features" either.
IF they go Anon gimmick i am done with LTC and putting them on my shit list.

EDIT:

LTC "Team"
Don't be fucking retards.. NEVER PANDER
Once the gimmick / trend fades away they will hate you for it.
Do what SHOULD be done and if the crowd follows then fine if not they are morons.

Pandering to the crowd of fucktards out there is suicide !

I'm not used to do so, but now I have to disagree. Adding new features and improvements to a working coin is always a good thing. The possibility of anon transactions isn't just a "trendy" marketing gimmick what will fade away, that's an essential thing what should be basic functionality of all coins.

Litecoin does not have AIDS. Thus, Litecoin does not need AIDS medication like ''additional features''.
Additional features are fore coins that suffer from AIDS. Like Ether.

LTC have many good sides and in some way is better than bitcoin but
never will beat bitcoin same as ethereum will never beat LTC.

Whatever keeps the little Litecoin bag hodlers happy with their Noddy crypto.

Define noddy crypto?

Then explain why LTC could be described as such and not the other 99% of alts?

You statement makes no sense except to suggest you feel pleased to own a few ethereum now. Well done, carry on with ethereum I see you're a supporter.

Me too whilst I still hold a larger % of ethereum's current minting than I do BTC or LTC.

I don't think as ethereum owners we need to feel the need to try and put down all other alts. There is a large world out there. That is where ethereum's success awaits.

If you are talking about the base then BTC is noddy. If you are talking about the market cap and volume then every other coin is noddy.

Not the only coin to have anon features.
I would not think that is the reason.

However I would be interested to know which method of anon they will go for ...is it one we have already? or are they trying something new?

I saw a list of planned LTC improvements somewhere but I forgot to bookmark it.

It seems coblee spends most of his time working for BTC directly and not so much LTC.

However I think his view is that where BTC will be adopted LTC will be adopted so is working for LTC indirectly.

Also I notice there are quite a few other devs working with LTC who are talking about a few new changes.
