August 1, 2017 Massachusetts Institute of Technology will launch a mysterious Litecoin project

August 1, 2017 in the walls of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will launch a crypto-Litecoin-oriented project, the details of which are still covered with a veil of secrecy. This writes Livebitcoinnews.

At the moment, only the start page of the project is available, in which the launch date is specified, the counter is running and an email is provided for communication on the domain mit.edu. No other details are known, and the intrigue is added by the fact that even the creator of Litecoin, Charlie Lee, does not know what it is about. At least that's what he claims.

As the newspaper notes, the date of launching the project may not be accidental: on that day, August 1, the so-called user-activated soft-key (UASF) may take place in the bitcoin network, as a result of which the Segregated Witness protocol should be activated.

And the day before, on July 31, activation of another network scaling solution called SegWit2x, which has already received significant support of the miners, is not ruled out.

It is possible that the authors of the project have prepared a surprise for the crypto-community, which, against the backdrop of a possible chaos in the bitcoin network these days, will help Litecoin take a stronger position.
