what can litecoin offer than bitcoin cant?

everything is possible with coding, you just need to hard fork, but i don't think the dev want to do an hard fork, for this, maybe it can be implement as a said project on the blockchain of litecoin, maybe litecoin will have sidechain like bitcoin? they could use those

You thought very, very wrong.

wow..thought lite could go to 10x times anytime and up to 100$ in a year)

but privacy in cryptos is a solution looking for a problem.

privacy is upto the individual it won't be solved by a crypto. a so called anon coin in the hands of average joe well it aint so anon, yet bitcoin, litecoin or even fiat can be completely anon if one knows what do to.

giving an anon coin to average joe is like giving your pc to your cat.......pretty pointless.

I am not a coder but I think it is not possible. But John Connor mentioned that Vcash's chain blender solution for anonymity can be implemented for almost any altcoin. So I believe if the litecoin development team wanted to add anonymity features for LTC then the chain blender solution would be good to experiment with first.

monero is the best

Litecoin could've make easy breakthrough just by implementing anonimity. I don't know who decided that this is not important feature, as it turns out, in example of Monero, that that maybe even THE most important feature of one crypto-currency.

Can litecoin implement ring ct signatures?

USD is simple but it is only popular because the US government decreed it as "money/currency". But it is simple and has many flaws...like central banking and money printing that goes along with it. Simplicity comes at a cost. Just like attempts at privacy, it comes at a cost. You don't get something for nothing.

I agree KISS, but sometimes complex systems are necessary to accomplish certain goals (and to solve certain problems). And in that complexity it is good to keep things as simple as possible without layering additional complexity that is not needed.

It appears that you have your own standard of what "innovation" is, (peer reviewed or not).

I've looked at the monero code and actually found that there is a lot of merit to what is claimed.

1. To me monero is innovative as it is NOT based on Bitcoin's code like Litecoin is (im not hating on litecoin at all).

2. Monero also does something that bitcoin should have been doing based upon satoshi's original vision (true P2P cash).

Bitcoin is not fungible on the socio-economical level as monero is. Black listing of bitcoin (and litecoin) is possible. It is in this that monero solves that problem that bitcoin has, not to mention dynamically scaling block size that does not require a hard fork like bitcoin or litecoin would need to accomplish.

Let's agree to disagree that your opinion of what is and isn't "innovative" can be a gimmick.

In my honest opinion, monero is innovative enough to not merit a claim of being called a "gimmick".

 

I agree that the average joe will need things to be simple. Yes. But I disagree that the ONLY innovation is simplicity at this point.

Not all problems are simple to solve. Privacy is not a simple problem to solve. That is the reality on that topic.

FYI its the Litecoin Association

during litceoin community still big and active use litecoin and trading
litecoin never die, until now volume trransaction litecoin in coinmarketcap still high
this mean litecoin community still solid use litecoin

KISS, p2p currency is not a mission to mars its currency. USD is hardly innovative yet is pretty dominate as a currency.

hell shells are used by more people on the planet today as currency then crypto.

i've not seen any 'innovation' since bitcoin thats been anything more then a gimmick (peer reviewed or not).

on the most part bitcoin itself is too complex for average joe to adopted, yet all 'innovation' todate seem to add to the complication. the only innovation thats needed is simplification.

It was kind of funny that an old thread like this is still getting bumped.
Litecoin was one of the first if not the first alt coin there was.
I even collected it beside bitcoin when I first started just too say I held some in a wallet.
I have since lost that wallet and had about 2 ltc in it anyways so no big loss to me.
I have learned that they both can co-exist side by side without one taking any thing from the other.

Math-based and peer-reviewed innovation is not a gimmick.

disagree totally gimicky stuff like anon or 'innovation' for the sake of 'innovation' is a waste of space. many coins become flavor of the minute on pumps etc but yeah wont be around longterm in any significant degree.

also the litecoin foundation isn't litecoin, anyone can market any coin anyway they wish, without any 'official' approval. thats the beauty of decentralisation

litecoin the platinum to bitcoins gold

Well this is never gonna happen..but imho (I know squat...just saying) if the LTC foundation really really wanted to kick start LTC they would make it more or an anonomous
coin like Moreno...but they are pretty straight laced...so that is very very unlikely.

Thou just thinking about it....if LTC had that like Moreno does now.....and asic pow..imho it would pump harder then Moreno

The key above is NOT my idea...but that LTC needs some kind of better angle then just being Silver to BTC's gold...not sure what that should be...but it is evident to

me something needs to happen on the LTC development end to shake things up or I fear a 'dull slow fade' of LTC in the future.

I feel the same way
it would be great for market capitalization goes up

The litecoin price is quite stable in the last few months. I think the big whales are collecting the coins at the moment.
