Amid claims that the Litecoin project is “dead”, Charlie Lee, the founder of Litecoin, hastened to explain to the crypto community why LTC's achievements were not displayed on GitHub.
On his Twitter blog, Charlie Lee explained that the Litecoin project has three leading developers – Warren Togami, Sincy Wang, and others, whose work is supervised by Adrian Gallagher. Lee noted that if you look at the Litecoin branch on the GitHub resource, you can really think that in 2019 the developers of the project did not work on the blockchain code. Lee explained that updating a branch on GitHub occurs after they are implemented in LTC code. Lee also recalled that the same confusion had occurred last year.
10 / This is how Litecoin Core development has functioned for years. We even had the same FUD last year! Someone looked at our master branch last year and claimed that Litecoin stopped developing in 2018. And I bet even after this explanation, we will have people confused in 2020.

The day before, representatives of the Binance crypto exchange reported that a so-called “dust attack” was made on the wallets of LTC holders. In the course of such an attack, attackers send insignificant amounts of funds to users, after which they begin to track their movement – as a result, hackers organize phishing attacks on companies.
Experts recommend that users do not accept small amounts from unfamiliar users, in some applications, in particular Samourai Wallet, there is a function to ignore such transactions, when it is activated, suspicious funds do not fall into the general flow of funds. This opportunity was introduced by developers after a “dust attack” was carried out on holders of BTC-wallets in 2017.
