    #litecoin has done a good job on holding while #bitcoin falls a little. Maybe this is the beginning of the climb back to a more normal comparison rate.

I just went to the website, it says their “engineering team practices a culture of contributing code back to the projects that we rely on”That sounds a lot like Tari. Hopefully @FlexaHQ becomes more active in litecoin development.
