    @DGB_LTC_J As time goes on, code will ossify, and there won’t be that much development. Litecoin also has the advantage of being able to take all of the work Bitcoin devs do. So we don’t need much funding, except for MW. I’m happy to fund MW along with the community. So far it’s good.

As for a news story related to Litecoin getting some buzz:

The first game on the Litecoin blockchain launched – The Cryptonomist

The peculiarity of this game is that it fully integrates the Litecoin blockchain, so there are no servers, and all operations are recorded directly on the blockchain, eliminating the risk of errors or that someone could cheat….To encourage the use of the game it was decided to integrate a faucet so as to eliminate the entry barrier for those who do not have Litecoin (LTC) and make the gaming experience fluid.
