I know there's transaction fees etc, but I read about 'Change' as well, is this something different? See below for what it was defined as:

Change

Let’s say you are spending $1.90 in your local super market, and you give the cashier $2.00. You will get back .10 cents in change. The same logic applies to bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin transactions are made up of inputs and outputs. When you send bitcoins, you can only send them in a whole “output.” The change is then sent back to the sender.

Thanks

That has worked! Absolutely spot on, thank you.. a quick question hopefully to add to this, when I got sent the LTC, I noticed there was a bit missing, I've read about it being 'change' from a full block or something like that, is there a way of getting this back as well? Thanks for all your help guys very much appreciated.

Ok looking in to this further and realising I need a LTC wallet, because I've sent this to a BTC wallet key, is there a way of retrieving it?

Thanks for your reply..

I've only used Electrum, so not a litecoin version from what I can tell, does that matter? Do I need a litecoin wallet to store litecoins? (sounds obvious but just checking)

How do I get my litecoin address? There seems to be a lot of address and keys involved, which one should I put in to that website? Thank you

Hi guys,

I'm new to the BTC scene and have just started buying some of the coins available on coinbase in the UK.. I have left BTC and ETH on the wallets on Coinbase for now but I've transferred some LTC to my Electrum wallet, I used the receive function to generate a key and then put that in Coinbase to send to it. I believe I didn't have my wallet 'open' or online at the time so I'm not sure if this means I did not 'receive' it or it will show up later, I've tried restarting the wallet but no luck. Have I made a newbie mistake and lost the transaction? Thanks in advance.
