So I reset my PC, and scrubbed my harddrives. I forgot to backup my Litecoin wallet. They're forever gone right... ? Cry

There isn't a magical technique that LTC can do, that BTC can't, to bring back my coins is there?

tis why ya keep that kind of important stuff on partisions that you dont wipe often ;-) (as in not the OS drive)

Well it could have been worse. I could have destroyed my other LTC wallets. Thankfully I only lost my hot wallet.

Make sure you guys double check that you backed everything up. Don't end up like me.

Stupid question: Is there a deterministic wallet for litecoin?

Nope. I CCleaner'd all of my harddrives, then reinstalled Windows. This sucks.

I have my Bitcoin wallet backed up on floppies, CDs, SD cards, and paper. For some stupid reason I don't think I ever backed up the Litecoin wallet anywhere.

If you have made a quick format and not a new partition it might still be there, use a recovery tool.

And don't install anything before you do so. If the free space gets overwritten, its gone for good.

Don't save or install it on the hard drive where the wallet was.
