Title: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet? Post by: Delicieuxz on March 05, 2013, 03:19:58 PM This seems silly, but I'm having a difficult time finding where I can receive LTC payouts to. Does it not work the same as BTC, with websites offering wallets? I'm mining through the Ozcoin pool.

https://btc-e.com/exchange/ltc_btc Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet? Post by: Delicieuxz on March 05, 2013, 03:43:20 PM If that works then I'll certainly do that. It looks like a great site, thanks.
Does someone know what would be the cause of this error? http://i45.tinypic.com/29vfqlg.png Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet? Post by: pauljr8 on March 07, 2013, 09:56:17 PM I've been using BTC-e as such for several months, however the website is unavailable very frequently; I'm talking hours, daily. So, has anyone found a good offline wallet?
Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet? Post by: nobbynobbynoob on March 07, 2013, 10:00:38 PM I use BTC-e and a "paper" wallet. There's also Litecoin-Qt if you like.
Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet? Post by: pauljr8 on March 07, 2013, 10:27:25 PM I have paper btc wallets, guess I'll figure out the ltc ones. Can Litecoin-Qt be run concurrently with bitcoind or bitcoin-qt without effect? Not meaning to hijack the thread, but it may solve the problem.

Does someone know what would be the cause of this error? http://i45.tinypic.com/29vfqlg.png An LTC address is not a mining pool API key. You need to find a pool, register, and point your miners there. Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet?

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but it may solve the problem. I think so, since it operates using a different port. Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet?

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but it may solve the problem. I think so, since it operates using a different port. i typically run multiple QT coins at the same time. works just fine. Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet? Post by: prespendwindfall on April 07, 2013, 01:00:42 AM Can someone explain the Litecoin wallet to me in laymans terms? I made an account here: https://btc-e.com It should be easy enough to buy some Litecoins, but does that website store them for me? Do they give me a Litecoin address so I can hand that out to others who might want to pay me in Litecoins in the future? Or do I need to prepare a Litecoin address somewhere else? I am going to try to use this thing here as well: http://liteaddress.org/ I also downloaded the litecoin-0.6.3c-win32-setup.exe and I can't figure that thing out. (I tried setting it up for mining, but gave up, especially once I found out it's probably useless unless you have a dedicated specialized computer). I did as much research as I could before asking these newbie questions. Most places just don't have detailed directions. Anyone who can help me with some of my confusion is much appreciated.

I normally do use offline wallets, at-least that's what I do for BTC... I just don't want my computer to download the entire blockchain right now, I want it to be mining or running DoTA Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet?

You could use BTC-e for small amounts, but if we are talking 1000+ LTC then use a real wallet, encrypt it, and back it up at least 3 times. Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet?

I'm dealing with less than 100, most of the time less than 10 LTC I am not a rich man Title: Re: Where can I get a Litecoin wallet? Post by: carpetbagger on April 14, 2013, 05:16:50 AM Get a client - many thousands of coins have been stolen from BTC-e users a few days ago. There's many other examples of why you should not trust online services. Bitcoin-24 & Instawallet, are two recent examples in bitcoinland.
I haven't tried it but there's a litecoin version of Electrum if blockchains are an issue: https://github.com/litecoin-project/Electrum |
