If you are thinking in BTC's 0.7.0, then.. our 0.6.3 are BTC 0.7.0's .. they just took our stuff into there

Yeah, I've been busy. I will work on getting another Litecoin client released soon.
Oh yeah, happy birthday to Litecoin!

Is there an app like btcticker.appspot.com that converts any USD amount into LTC and vice-versa, based on BTC-E or whatever exchange?

Send me the LTC ill give you 0.04 BTC

What is your BTC address

my LTC address is in my sig

Helped you all out   wish there was a devcoin option but instead I asked for my tix count to boost the litecoin numbers:


You guys need to grab up 39 or 40 more ish to secure a coblee/litecoin victory so cheers :-)

Sorry, Having some problems.. Status will come soon..

Let's say 2 persons wish to trade LTC and BTC without central authority or middle man. Also, they don't trust each other.
If this has already been talked somewhere then sorry for bringing it up here but otherwise here's my idea:

Create some functionality or a program that sends out BTC/LTC only after it has received a certain amount from a specified address. For example sending 1 BTC in hope of receiving 170 LTC is a too high risk. Instead the BTC guy sends only 0.01 BTC and waits for the other party to send back 1.7 LTC. The LTC guy uses the same automation and sends back 1.7 LTC every time it receives 0.01 BTC. They repeat the procedure until the value has been exchanged.

The automation would be configurable so that as the percentage of exchanged value increases the amount of each transaction also would increase to speed up the procedure. If at any point one party tries to cheat and stop sending the value back the other party only loses a microscopic amount.

What do you think? Would that system be useful? Or maybe in the future?

obviously that software would have to be open source

edit:
it's more like a simple automation script because one could do this kind of transferring manually if he wanted to. Making 100 transactions manually would just be a way too much. Transaction fees could be problem but at trading sites you're going to pay to the site.
