How many LTC per hour can i make an a quad core i5 3.8 ghz?
hey guys i can't understand what litecoin is , is it something like bitcoin ? is it worth mining it on my i5 ?

Thanks in advance
It's basically a bitcoin fork that is meant for the cpu, though there is now gpu mining going on ... come to the alt currencies forum for more info
Well the thing is , does it have some value or im just gonna be wasting my CPU power?
head over to www.btc-e.com and convert 'em, but be quick. since ltc are gpuminable for the masses: down

What is Litecoin?
Litecoin is the result of some of us who joined together on IRC in an effort to create a real alternative currency similar to Bitcoin. We wanted to make a coin that is silver to Bitcoin's gold.
Litecoin manages to maintain the unique traits and attributes of Bitcoin, while adding to the mixture CPU-specific mining and a 2.5 minute block rate. This means that Litecoin doesn't have to compete for the used up computational cycles of your graphics card if you're already mining Bitcoins, but can work independently on your processor.
We'd like everyone to get their chance at being an "early adopter", so we've preannounced Litecoin several days ahead of launch day for you to be able to prepare your mining setup on our Testnet. There have also been no more than two blocks mined ahead of release; the genesis block followed by a block to verify it.

And yes, I'd say i5 is good for mining LTC. At least above the average .
