Get a client - many thousands of coins have been stolen from BTC-e users a few days ago. There's many other examples of why you should not trust online services. Bitcoin-24 & Instawallet, are two recent examples in bitcoinland.

I haven't tried it but there's a litecoin version of Electrum if blockchains are an issue: https://github.com/litecoin-project/Electrum

but if we are talking 1000+ LTC then use a real wallet, encrypt it, and back it up at least 3 times.

I'm dealing with less than 100, most of the time less than 10 LTC

The LTC chain is way smaller than BTC, doesnt take that long.

You could use BTC-e for small amounts, but if we are talking 1000+ LTC then use a real wallet, encrypt it, and back it up at least 3 times.

Why not set up an account on btc-e.com and use that as your LTC wallet?

https://btc-e.com/exchange/ltc_btc

dont follow this advise ^

OK, then is there an online LTC wallet, or one that doesn't require me to download 300K blocks

What's the problem with downloading the chain?

I am surprised at how many people don't use offline wallets...

I normally do use offline wallets, at-least that's what I do for BTC...

I just don't want my computer to download the entire blockchain right now, I want it to be mining or running DoTA

Can someone explain the Litecoin wallet to me in laymans terms?

I made an account here:
https://btc-e.com

It should be easy enough to buy some Litecoins, but does that website store them for me?  Do they give me a Litecoin address so I can hand that out to others who might want to pay me in Litecoins in the future?  Or do I need to prepare a Litecoin address somewhere else?


I am going to try to use this thing here as well:
http://liteaddress.org/

I also downloaded the
litecoin-0.6.3c-win32-setup.exe

and I can't figure that thing out.  (I tried setting it up for mining, but gave up, especially once I found out it's probably useless unless you have a dedicated specialized computer).

I did as much research as I could before asking these newbie questions.  Most places just don't have detailed directions.  Anyone who can help me with some of my confusion is much appreciated.

I have paper btc wallets, guess I'll figure out the ltc ones. Can Litecoin-Qt be run concurrently with bitcoind or bitcoin-qt without effect? Not meaning to hijack the thread, but it may solve the problem.

I think so, since it operates using a different port.

i typically run multiple QT coins at the same time. works just fine.

If that works then I'll certainly do that. It looks like a great site, thanks.


Does someone know what would be the cause of this error?



An LTC address is not a mining pool API key. You need to find a pool, register, and point your miners there.

I use BTC-e and a "paper" wallet. There's also Litecoin-Qt if you like.

I've been using BTC-e as such for several months, however the website is unavailable very frequently; I'm talking hours, daily. So, has anyone found a good offline wallet?

This seems silly, but I'm having a difficult time finding where I can receive LTC payouts to. Does it not work the same as BTC, with websites offering wallets? I'm mining through the Ozcoin pool.
