FAQ

What Is Litecoin?
Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and open source software project. Creation and transfer of coins is based on an open source cryptographic protocol and is not managed by any central authority. Litecoin was created during October 2011 by Charles Lee, formerly a Google engineer.
What is Blockchain?
Blockchain is a digital ledger on which transactions made in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies are recorded chronologically and available to be viewed publicly.
What Is the Difference Between Litecoin and Bitcoin?
While inspired by, and in most ways technically nearly identical to Bitcoin, Litecoin has some code improvements over Bitcoin such as the adoption of Segregated Witness (SegWit), which increases block size limits on a blockchain, and the Lightning Network which enables bi-directional payment channels. Together, these effectively allow a greater amount of transactions to be processed by the network in a given time, reducing potential bottlenecks, which have been seen with Bitcoin. Litecoin also has almost zero payment cost and facilitates payments approximately four times faster than Bitcoin.
How Can I Buy Litecoin?
The most common way to buy Litecoin is through cryptocurrency exchanges, such as GDAX, Poloniex or Bitfinex, or directly from other people via marketplaces and auction site. Purchases can be made in a variety of ways, ranging from hard cash to credit and debit cards to wire transfers, or even using other cryptocurrencies.
How to Choose a Litecoin Exchange?
There are a number of factors to take into consideration when choosing which cryptocurrency exchange to start investing and trading with. Factors to consider include: transaction fees, accessibility, liquidity conditions, reputation, transparency and even in which country the exchange is located. At the end of the day, there is no right or wrong exchange with which to start trading, but doing your homework first is highly encouraged.
