Isn't LTC the main coin that uses a lightning network ATM? Because if so, it is still a decent choice if you want a lightning network. BTC is moving in that direction, but it might still not go there.

LTC was just surpassed by BCH in transaction volume. It's creator peaced out two months ago.

Dunno if an unused payment channel means more than stuff like that.

peaced out? Like dead, unconscious, or just left?

(is it just me or is HN becoming more unreadable due to increased usage of slang?)

(I have been here 4 more years, so your aside doesn't withstand basic reasoning. I would also caution you that it walks the line of HN policy)

Sorry, I meant no offense... I've been very confused lately with people using slang or ambiguous wording. Could be because I'm getting old. I do remember back in the 80's when "peace out" was a popular saying, it basically meant goodbye. In the 90's it evolved, saying one "peaced out" meant they had died usually murdered. I can't keep up on what it could mean now, so I asked. Perhaps my parenthetical went too far, it wasn't meant as an attack, just observational humor?)

He (claims that he) sold/divested all of his LTC right around the peak in December because he wanted to be neutral in its development.

He also then donated the proceeds to Litecoin development.
