There haven’t been reports of regular upgrades on the development side for Litecoin, apart from the intermittent MimbleWimble report. Litecoin’s Charlie Lee was recently in the news after assuring the community against any difficulty in MimbleWmble implementation. Lee claimed that the process will be like a ‘learning curve.’ Lee, the creator of LTC shared his views regarding how the network will operate after the MimbleWimble solution has been implemented. Speaking in an interview, Lee explained that the implementation may be slow at the beginning because users will not be forced to update. Finally, he added that the bulk of crypto exchanges were ready to facilitate the upgrade as it wasn’t expected to be affected by any regulatory difficulties. Lee argued that the hidden inflation is a risk that LTC users should willingly take.
