Why don't Coinbase or Kraken, possibly the two largest litecoin exchanges, publish proof of their litecoin reserves?
Coinbase is thought to custody about 15 million litecoin. Kraken also probably has custody of 2-3 million litecoin. Why can't these exchanges publish their proof of reserves for litecoin? Are they hiding something?
How do people think the 2026 memory shortage will effect the litecoin ecosystem? Since the hashing algorithm (scrypt) is heavily reliant on SRAM, will the higher memory costs effect miner profitability? We've seen difficulty staggering over the past year, possibly reaching a local equilibrium in terms of profitability. Is this evidence of the effect of the memory shortage? In terms of down payment per ASIC, we should see higher costs. That also depends on whether the memory shortage effect SRAM, which is the main memory chip ASICs are reliant on. I'm interested to hear what the litecoin community thinks about this global event.
