Title: Litecoin Web Based or Light Client Post by: User705 on November 16, 2013, 04:15:07 AM Is there a Litecoin Web Based or Light Client similar to blockchain.info or Electrum/Armory so that Litecoin can be used without downloading whole blockchain?

Title: Re: Litecoin Web Based or Light Client Post by: someguy123 on November 16, 2013, 10:00:13 PM Do the exchanges provide your own independent addresses for use? Pretty much.Incoming only though. You can't sign using the address, and you can't send from that address. It'll come out of a random address, so don't try to play any dice games with one.

The next safest place is in an exchange such as BTC-e. Either way, the Litecoin blockchain is only around 4gb, compared to Bitcoin's 16gb+ blockhain, so you might be best just using the real client.

I guess litecoin isn't there yet.

I guess litecoin isn't there yet. Anyone with the javascript / other skills necessary to create a blockchain.info-style wallet for litecoin (i.e. client-side javascript), please contact me. I'd seriously like to get this commissioned asap. Thanks. |
