Topic: When will Litecoin reach 0.1 Billion USD total value (Read 9571 times)
btc24 Thanks for your patience & fair minded attitude, I've decided that using the largest markets for each conversion is the fairest & that would be ltc/btc on btc-e followed by btc/usd on gox to give a melded ltc/usd (via btc) price & there haven't been any objections to this anyway (it was originally what I had in mind to do anyway as I always calculate it like this) so I'm now sending your 100 ltc prize, glad that it's coming at a good time for you & also the ltc price is looking perky atm too in both btc & usd terms.

With the silver price making a low of $28.22 per Oz = $0.87774 per gram last Thursday & Litecoin making a high of $0.8247 yesterday we are getting very close, so a small rules change, once the price of litecoins goes over $0.85 or if silver falls below $27.50 per Oz = $0.85535 approx per gram then entries on the 1 LTC = 1 gm Ag part of the competition are closed.
It's a tough question! The actual problem is that dollar worth more at btc-e.com as far as in/out commissions are quite high, I belive. Normally, they trade bitcoins about 10% "cheaper" comparing to all other major exchanges. So, if one would trade litecoins for bitcoins and then trade bitcoins for dollars at mtgox or bitstamp or vircurex or elsewhere - one could reach the market capacity above 0.1 B USD...
I'll be ok with any legit decision anyway. This prize would be a great way to recover from the recent btc-e account hack (I lost a significant part of coins because of the lack of security and sequent brute-force attack... as many others)...

I'm not sure if this is the best way to have worked it out, it's how I personally calculate the current ltc/usd price but I didn't make this totally clear in the rules, so please let me know if anyone objects to this, or thinks it fairer to just use Btc-e's ltc/usd price to calculate, or split the prize with 50 ltc for btc-24 & half for whoever is closest later using just btc-e's prices unless Gox is by then the larger exchange for ltc.
tomorrow!

This could be a winner, see the 'litecoin now has a market cap of 731,000 BTC. Thats over 100 million dollars boys and girls' thread on r/litecoin
Thursday: afk for a couple of days traveling atm, will look in to this more on my return...
Awesome! I will be happy to receive my prize ) : LfJUtrxqu7cChehEbxkdMvkWSsF7UpFyMy
Can't wait to see LTC to be over $5 again...
Thanks everybody!
After careful checking I find that using btc-e's ltc/usd chart & info the high for ltc on 2013 04 03 was $5.89999
http://www.ltc-charts.com/period-charts.php?period=2-weeks&resolution=day&pair=ltc-usd&market=btc-e
& the max number of ltc in existence on that day was 16,350,454.5 for a total max market cap of 96,467,515 so < $0.1B
http://explorer.litecoin.net/chain/Litecoin?hi=327030&count=20
I haven't checked if the ltc/btc & btc/usd price would give a higher figure, someone else (like to potential winner if he likes) could perhaps do this & post the proof with links, otherwise I shall try & get round to it maybe tomorrow.
Edit: ltc/btc high on 2013 04 03 was 0.04490 btc
http://www.ltc-charts.com/period-charts.php?period=2-weeks&resolution=day&pair=ltc-btc&market=btc-e
& btc/usd high was approx $147 at a little after 8 am
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg30zczsg2013-04-04zeg2013-04-04ztgSzm1g10zm2g25
which gives $6.60 max per ltc so $107.9M market cap, will edit for 8am which will be less...
16,324,004 x $6.60 = $107.7M so yep this does seem to be when litecoin first gained a market cap of over $0.1B, if there are no objections this weekend then I shall pay the prize on Monday. When ltc equaled $6.13 (via ltc/btc on Btc-e & via btc/usd on Gox) was the tipping point approx.

Oh, I did not notice that my guess was already taken in time (I thought I checked it)... But I don't mind about consolation prize 
(it was pretty exact, nah?)
(it was pretty exact, nah?)You should have moved it to 2013 04 01, better luck with the $0.1B one, but if we are over 0.012 BTC in 24 hrs then I'll send you a 10 LTC consolation prize.

Sry for the delay, I was kinda celebrating yesterday & didn't want to open a wallet when drinking, > 0.04 BTC certainly merits a 10 LTC consolation prize now sent
We're at 70m now, so probably not long.
