help me
If you really want the litecoin-qt - dont read more and I am done
If you would like just a stable wallet for litecoin on ubuntu / linux-distribution then try:
https://electrum-ltc.org/You are not downloading the chain, but you can configure different peers for the needed confirmations and chaindata at least.
I never tried the ltc-version, because I am addicted to bitcoin (sha256d) only.
But it looks like a clone for me - so I think it will have the same way to work like the btc version.
I am using it for my daily/small money and for the daily incomings (just create a new wallet file and you are ready with new adresses).
Why? Empty your used wallets from time to time and use some new adresses. (and big money to your cold wallet ofc)
Cheers.
