Litecoin mining requires a lot of memory to function properly. To my knowledge Avalon ASIC has little memory because it is designed for bitcoin mining that requires little of it.

Worried that sending out my address to someone is a security risk.  They will be able to associate my wallet with my username.

How about having multiple addresses? Using another address for other transfers and so on.

no

Ok, can I get an answer as to why that might be or a link to an article explaining why/how come that's not possible?

ASIC means application specific integrated circuit. That is a chip designed for a specific application and nothing else whatsoever. In the case of the Avalon ASICs they are designed to hash SHA-1 and NOTHING else. LTC is based on an entirely different hashing algorithm, hence Avalon ASICs cannot mine LTC.

Pretty amazing that he did such a thing though, he could have spent it on blackjack and hookers

Just buy BTC and convert to LTC. You pay some fee.

Geez...

It really sucks being late to the party. It was very generous for them to give out so much Litecoin, though. 235 LTC is a lot!
