If your machine can support 64-bit OSes, always get the 64-bit OS. There is no reason not to. Everything that can run on the 32-bit can run on the 64-bit OS, but not the other way around. There are also some things that are 64-bit only or run better on 64-bit OSes so by having a 64-bit OS, you can run those too.

Thanks for advice.

Probably not. Setting up a node on low memory systems is quite difficult and can be very annoying to do. I would recommend that you have at least 4 GB RAM so that it sets up without any issues.

Pruned mode takes up ~5 GB IIRC. However you should probably allocate more disk space anyways just in case.

also I try install litecoind..

after try compile
Code:
cd litecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1 USE_QRCODE=1 USE_IPV6=1


error:
Code:
make: makefile.unix: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `makefile.unix'.  Stop.

what wrong?

Unlike most altcoins, litecoin actually rebases onto recent versions of Core, so there is no makefile.unix. Read their build instructions, available here: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md.

Could you explain why my transaction not confirmed.. I wait about 9 hours.
I sent from litecoind in console on ubuntu.
transaction fee is 0.002ltc, this is not low.

if i send amount from electrum with fee 0.001ltc, transactions is ok and confirmed.

where i type getinfo..
"[errors] => Warning: This version is obsolete, upgrade required!"

how upgrade version in console?

Thanks.

That is off topic for this forum. I don't know why, as I don't use litecoin. It would be better to ask that question in the altcoin section.

Update your source code to the latest version from litecoin's github repo and then build it.
