Giving an update, Hoskinson now stated that Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that does not adopt changes quickly which is why there aren’t big news yet….For this reason, Hoskinson is optimistic that the NiPoPoWs proposal will be implemented, although it may take some time to gain support….Hoskinson, however, clarified that they must first see if there is a protocol that allows for interoperability and if there is sufficient community support.
