** UPDATED, as of 3/2/12 ***** I will be updating on a regular basis the status of projects listed below. There is progress, slowly but surely
***
I want to create a gathering of like-minded Litecoin "Angels" who want to see this coin succeed and become just as popular as Bitcoins.
Essentially, I would like to see discussions and promotion of ideas for LTC adoption in the greater Bitcoin community and/or beyond.
Along those lines, some ideas for consideration...
- Work on projects to increase the Litecoin Client Base, something like an LTC Faucet.
----
LTC Faucet: volunteer(s) to code/design/host a 1 page front-end like BTC Faucet, appreciate LTC donors for faucet pool.
------
Update: the Litecoin Faucet is now up and running, check it out here: http://freelitecoins.appspot.com/ ------ A great thanks to Bitcoinsarefun on this Forum, for taking the time and effort to make this happen!
------ If you want to donate the Faucet Pool, the LTC address is: LVjTGE71w5UQj5bedEQNoVoxcXidBAbJ1D
------
We have 61 Users who have downloaded from the Faucet, with 200+ LTC donated in the Faucet Pool. (as of 2-28-12)- Develop online betting / gambling games that use LTC such as Poker, Blackjack (see the LiteJack21 thread)
---- LTC Poker Lounge has been started, ran into coding issues with the github poker script, on hold for while.
----
Renewed interest for LTC Poker has been shown on the this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anybody-have-a-texas-holdem-script-that-can-be-geared-toward-litecoins-66809 (3-2-12)---- The LiteJack21 Blackjack game thread can be found here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/litejack21-blackjack-63043- Create a better LTC/BTC/USD Exchange to encourage trading, volume, liquidity.
---- There's work being done on a
P2P Crypto-Coin Exchange, check it out:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/please-delete-62879----
BTC-E is a decent working exchange for LTC; wonder if we could petition them to fix their slow/timing-out server issues?
- Find and develop niche markets online that could use LTCs unique currency and mining features
----
Java/Javascript Web Surfer Mining:
--------
This site provides code to embed on your web site so visitors can mine Litecoin for you with their spare CPU cycles:------------
http://www.litecoinpool.org/embed Thanks to the Litecoinpool for making this available.
-------- How about a blog or forum where you give positive feedback to comments/users using cpu-mined LTC "Rewards" ?
- Develop Online / Flash Games that use LTC currency in innovative ways
(revised 2-28-12)---- There's been interesting discussion about this aspect of Litecoin,
here are two LTC gaming ideas worth considering:-------
Pay-LTC-as-You-Play Online/Flash Game------------ Put up a flash/online game on a web page, embed a javaminer script to create LTC income for the author of the game.
------------ Players of the flash game create the LTC with spare CPU cycles, with players permission.
-------
LTC Reward / Treasure Online/Flash Game------------ Create an online "mining/treasure" game where LTC is given as a reward for reaching a level, reaching your quest. Player has an
------------ LTC account while they are playing game, gaining/losing LTC as they play.
---- Building LTC-based games of this sort would go a long way to help build potential demand and prove the viability of Litecoin.
- Create Showcase online applications/businesses that use Litecoins for payment
- Incentive BTC-based businesses to adopt LTC as another form of payment
- (insert your ideas here.....)
Welcome any and all feedback.
FYI:
If you gathered that I am an early adopter and have a vested interest in seeing LTC succeed, then you are correct.
