Just withdrew LTC from Bittrex into my Electrum wallet.  I have a check mark and when I hover over it with the mouse, i see 23 confirmations. 

Am I good?


Sorry if this is a dumb question.  Just want to be sure so I can log out.

I would guess 24?
One block is generated 4 times faster than Bitcoin (6 transactions). That is just a guess though.

The default amount of confirmations needed should be 6 confirmations i think. How many electrum needs before it allows you to spend the funds as confirmed, i'm not sure. It definitely could be 6*4 = 24 though since that would be the same amount of time as the bitcoin 6 confirmations.

It shouldn't bother you since after the first confirmation you'll be getting a confirmation every time a block gets mined. So you can close your electrum with a peace of mind.

Plus i'm pretty sure that you can enable spending of unconfirmed funds if you are really urgent in electrum.
