I don't often express my opinion here on the forums, but I've had enough time to stew on this one and no one else seems to be saying it, so here goes: If you take someone's invention, tweak one little thing, and then go around telling everyone that you are "better", you get zero respect from me. Litecoin is not innovative, it is not interesting, and in its current form it has no place on Silk Road. Unless I'm missing something, it is exactly like Bitcoin in every way except that it's mining algo favors different hardware and blocks are created more quickly. So what? For our purposes it offers no advantage over Bitcoin and has the disadvantage that it is harder to acquire. It also presents yet another attack surface that has to be maintained and monitored. If I'm missing something here, please enlighten me.
