Be careful folks!

Litecoin Cash (LCC) isn't an authentic Fork, it's a mere Github clone with some minor changes. It's basically just a github clone of Litecoin (LTC) with SHA-256 mining and a max circulating supply that is 10x greater than that of Litecoin (LTC). There is nothing innovative taking place from the Litecoin Cash camp; they have merely patched together another shitcoin from cloning Litecoin code, and have slapped the name "Litecoin Cash" on it to get them publicity. What's next, Litecoin God? (Joke referencing "Bitcoin God")

Cloning the Litecoin code from Github is easy, it can and has been used as a way to go phishing for immoral crypto-gains; in other words, unscrupulous people can easily clone the Litecoin code as a means to trick unsuspecting individuals to buy and then store digital assets in faux-wallets, only for them to be rudely awakened to the fact that the wallets and project were a scam when it comes to their attention that their wallets have been emptied and that their funds are forever gone. Be careful out there Crypto-Gamesters! Don't get tricked by shitcoins naming themselves things like "Bitcoin God" and "Litecoin Cash

>Conclusion:


Litecoin Cash (LCC) is risky-business; invest at your own risk, or better yet, don't at all. LCC claim to be an authentic fork of Litecoin, but they're not; they are a Github clone that Charlie Lee himself deems a scam. If you're looking for a Litecoin upgrade, or a "Litecoin 2.0", consider taking a look at Vertcoin.
