@zaratu You need to unlock your wallet first.

However, DON'T pre-export your key. It's fine to dumpprivkey on some new, zero-balance address that you just made to test.

For maximum safety, you don't want to even see that key until you've already moved the funds to a new address after the fork. This is just in case your PC is compromised and something can capture your screen or clipboard; ideally we don't even see that key until it's not holding LTC any more.

Practice safe forking!  Smiley

@MyAdverts: Sure Smiley To start with, if you've used a whole bunch of different receive addresses it can make your life easier to make a new receive address, and send all your coins to yourself before the fork. That way, you only have one key to import later.

1. After the fork block, create another new receive address and send all your coins to that new address. This is to protect your LTC -- remember the Golden Rule for Safe Forking: Never paste a private key that still holds live funds into ANY wallet or website -- including ours.

2. If you sent all your coins to yourself in step 1 you only need to do this once (otherwise, repeat for every LTC address you had that held funds during the fork block). In Litecoin Core, hit the Help menu -> Debug window -> Console. Type the following:

Code:
dumpprivkey YOUR_LTC_ADDRESS_HERE

3. The string returned by that command is your private key. In the Litecoin Core wallet, hit File -> Import Private Key and paste it in. When you paste an address, the wallet will offer to rescan the blockchain. If you're importing multiple keys, say No -- if you're importing a single key, or the last of your multiple keys, say Yes.

The resync process will take a few minutes; after that your wallet will show your LCC balance.

@grungie: Not yet, but we're working tirelessly behind the scenes on getting. You'll hear it here first, so just check back -- the original post will be edited as soon as we have news. Or come and join our Discord for up-to-the-minute news 'n' gossip.

@hermi: Yes! You can mine with any SHA256 hardware. It looks like there will be at least one pool ready to go right at launch. Details will be added to our website and the [ANN] soon, but hop on Discord if you'd like latest info on potential pools.


After entering such a command with the address of the test wallet, I received such a response in the console Litecoin Core:
"Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first. (code -13)"

What about Trezor guys, will our Trezor stored LTC be able to claim LCC?

It was such a pain in the ass to claim bitcoin cash from trezor when it forked, so even if they do support (which i doubt) I wouldnt use it.

Its really simple guys just make sure you have the private key of the wallet where all your litecoin is at the time of the forking block...after that block you can move your litecoin to a separate address if your worried about importing a private key....your litecoin cash will still be associated with the private key you had at the time of the fork.

I know its tempting to try and get your LCC right at the time of the fork, especially if your trying to sell fast. but i encourage people to wait to claim to avoid any potential issues.

Explain if it is not a scam just taking the name?

- It's become customary in recent months that when a blockchain is hardforked, the new coin takes the name of the old as a prefix.

We're not saying it's a great convention, but it's instantly understood by people as "oh it's a Litecoin hard fork".
No. It's generally understood that a coin is co-opting the name for other reasons such as to mislead people and try and gain a level of "respectability" they have not earned. Last time there was a lot of this sort of thing if was "Dark" stuff. i.e. BitcoinDark, LitecoinDark, DogeDark, DarkDoge and so on and so forth. So those that have been around awhile, do not view any coin using another's name in a favorable light.

i agree totally

even this is not a fork is an airdrop based on snapshot of ltc so name can be anything why call it ltc based name  Huh Huh

What if i am not on my computer when the fork happens? do liss the chance to get LCC?? Electrum wallet private keys will work as well?

No you won’t miss out. At the time of the fork, a snapshot (record) of the Litecoin blockchain is taken. The Litecoincash LCC blockchain is started from this record, so for every 1LTC, you will have 10LCC.

I don’t personally know about Electrum, I’m using Litecoin core and Jaxx.

Any idea if this will be supported by Coinbase at all? I am not very familiar with Litecoin wallets, but I checked https://litecoincore.org/ and it re-directed me to https://litecoin.org/ (where there is a downloadable version for Mac). Would this wallet work as well? Thanks!
waiting reply to this too
Yes, this wallet would work.

Being the first litecoin fork I fully support this project, if Bitcoin fork has become profitable for Bitcoin holders, why not this one, imagine getting 10 times of what you got, I think litecoin holders are benefitting for this because price is slightly increased because of the demand going through the date of the fork.

A classic example for ripping off reputation earned by others is ZCL. Even though they literally have nothing to do with Bitcoin they just call their coin Bitcoin Private. That's as bad as it can get when it comes to stealing reputation. Bitcoin Cash was already bad but at least Roger Ver was involved with the original Bitcoin for quite some time (and to a significant degree).

Kinda confusing but don't you mean in step 3 your to import the private key into the LCC wallet and not the litecoin core wallet?

- Yes, apologies! Step 3 should indeed say Litecoin Cash wallet.

Litecoin core qt, is it appropriate to keep it?
Yes should be fine.
Just move the coins to a new address before before reusing private keys.

Thank you very much for your information.
