Bit coin was the very first. All others came after. Litecoin is a special type of coin that will always be able to e mined on CPUs due to cache memory needs. It's also significantly less money. 1 litecoin is 6 cents or about 0.0067 bitcoin

No but thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you all.

I inadvertantly transferred 14 litecoins to my litecoin address. I then realized it changed cause the program had been deleted for a little while and I got a new address. Is there any way at all to retrieve my coins and transfer them to the proper address?

Thanks!
