For discussion about Litecoin, the leading cryptocurrency derived from Bitcoin. Litecoin is developed with a focus on speed, efficiency, and wider initial coin distribution through the use of scrypt-based mining.
Assembling an army of fud fighters. 90% of the fud relates to price being lower than BTC. Which is mostly out of our control. On chain data continues to show increasing growth in all categories you would want to see for a blockchain. That is really all that matters until price eventually catches up. submitted by /u/Minute-Lake-1819 [link] [comments]
I've always kept the crypto I use separate from the crypto I hold. With LTC, I buy what I need, send it, and become zero. So I think if most people use LTC like me, buying it for a payment and moving on right after, the network can stay busy without creating many long-term holders. I got some spare cash now and considered holding some LTC in the long term, but it feels like there's no strong…
Ever notice the only complaint people have about Litecoin is its USD performance over the years? You never hear anything about it not working when you need it, or the fees are too high, or why is it not on my favorite exchange, or why is it not available to pay with at crypto merchants? The reason for this is it’s literally an improved version of Bitcoins transactional rails using most of the…
What exactly is MWEB you ask? Litecoin coins move along the main blockchain similar to cars on a highway. MWEB is a privacy layer on the same blockchain that coins can move to, but with privacy, think of it as more like a tunnel. Coins can be seen entering and recorded as yours in number, but they go through some changes inside MWEBs privacy layer. They are mixed around, meaning you may use a…
Should there be a physical Litecoin treasury? Each coin representing an ounce of silver and a full Litecoin? Not sure how that would even work. Probably some kind of staking reward or something. Would add additional utility. submitted by /u/Minute-Lake-1819 [link] [comments]
This market has been wildly unpredictable in recent years. Not just crypto, but every other asset class. Is a store of value and payment coin like Litecoin even a tradeable asset in this type of market? Or is it more of a buy, hold, use type of asset instead? Certainly seems like the market is different now compared to just a few years ago. It’s more extreme with speculation lotto tickets vs safer…
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain LTC does what all these people wanting to fork are asking. They seemingly want two things: 1.) Smaller op return 2.) Different mining algo. But be fair launch proof of work with no insiders waiting to rugpull them. Well: Litecoin already does that from my understanding. Bitcoin Core v30+: ~100,000 vbytes default data-carrier limit Litecoin Core: 83…
Where can I buy LTC without an ID? I am currently 15 years old, turning 16 on December and do not have a government-issued ID at the moment. However, I do have an bank account that I use to collect money which I earned from saving and through various online jobs. I also have a PayPal and CashAPP account, both of them are linked to my bank account. I am looking for a legitimate place where I can…
Went to spend some XMR since price was up (woo!). Found something I wanted. Had to sync node... looking about a four hour wait, just decided to use Litecoin instead despite price being down. submitted by /u/JunketTurbulent2114 [link] [comments]
I am 15 years old and do not have a government-issued ID at the moment. However, I do have a bank account that I use to save and earn money through various online jobs. I also have a PayPal and CashApp account, both of which are linked to my primary bank account. I am looking for a trustworthy place where I can purchase a small amount of Litecoin (about $15-$20) without exorbitant fees and without…
It’s like, you know you’re using Litecoin, but the goodies are covered up. At least that’s how I see MWEB. 😂 submitted by /u/Minute-Lake-1819 [link] [comments]
Out of curiosity, where do most people here go to see new developments on Litecoin? Or to get the news? Reddit? X? Facebook? YouTube? Others?? And are you pre or post 2021 Litecoin bull market? I personally use X most often for Litecoin content and news but over the last few weeks noticed there seems to be a group of OG Litecoiners that miss out on what’s going on over there. Should it be brought…
Over the last couple weeks, bots have dominated the conversation in our Litecoin community, mostly low-effort spam comments and shitty shitty memes. What’s your opinion on most traffic being non-organic? Is all attention good attention? View Poll submitted by /u/Crypto-Bets [link] [comments]
Clarity Act is designed to do exactly what the industry wants. Provide clarity on how the US government will regulate the crypto industry. It’s really the last worldwide piece of legislation needed to figure out where every country stands on crypto. Does Litecoin and crypto need it? Yes and no. Having it will help everyone wanting to start up a crypto related business and open up tradfi to all the…
Litecoin has some atomic-swap history: the first on-chain LTC<->BTC atomic swap happened back in 2017. I wanted that as something you can just do from a browser tab any time, on testnet, so I built TestnetSwap: non-custodial cross-chain atomic swaps that run entirely client-side. The Litecoin/Bitcoin side (tLTC <-> tBTC) is a straight HTLC swap: a hashlock plus timelocks, both chains secp256k1…
You know you’re obsessed with Litecoin when your daily dog walks involve passing a neighbors house shouting “good morning Lite” instead of “good morning Mike”. submitted by /u/Minute-Lake-1819 [link] [comments]
I've got Sparrow-LTC and rather than connecting it to a public server I want to connect it to an Electrum server which will in turn connect to Litecoin Core but there doesn't seem to be an Electrum server with MWEB support. Does one exist? submitted by /u/Big-Finding2976 [link] [comments]
