    Our company producing Wild Jerky out of Reindeer, Deer and Elk now accepts LTC!

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 06:28 AM PST

    We are a young company from Sweden producing jerky out of reindeer, deer and elk meat. Even if our company sounds like it is an old school manufacturing business we have young minds! Today we started accepting LTC through Coinpayments. We also accept other cryptos.

    The reason for us to start accepting LTC is the fact that all of us three founders are cryptomaniacs and we truly believe in its usability and in it long term. It is too sad to see that holders of LTC cannot actually spend their coins on too many e-commerces but are forced to buy their goods with fiat. We want to be one of the first ones to change this!

    We believe that we are the first food company in Sweden that accepts cryptocurrency as a payment method and we would love to see other companies following us.

    If you are located in European Union and would like to exchange your litecoins to something truly delicious and unique check out: https://www.renjer.ky and order some juicy jerky.

    Note that due to food regulations we can only sell to EU countries!

    Unsolicited LTC advice for spring chikuns

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 08:10 AM PST

    I haven't been around the longest and I definitely don't own a lot of LTC. What I have done is follow LTC and Charlie intently for a substantial amount of time. I've spent more time observing and thinking than buying.

    For any newcomers who feel conflicted about LTC, Charlie, prices, etc., here's some advice:

    1. In a sea of speculation, over-valuation, hyper-mania, propaganda & uncertainty, you have chosen the coin that has always been stable, has always been dependable, and is a crypto OG. While that might sound boring to many of us, it is the most exciting to anyone with big, serious money.

    2. If crypto was a football game, we have just (maybe) ended the first quarter. If you're in now, congratulations. You might not have been here from kickoff (and neither was I), but you were still insightful enough to enter the game at an early stage. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Don't worry about what's happening today or tomorrow all the time - start game-planning for years down the road. When you dream, dream about the future, not about next month or next year. If you have faith in LTC, playing the long game is necessary and it will give you peace of mind.

    3. Diversify. This not is only smart from an investment perspective, but it is also beneficial from a psychological one. Put your LTC in a paper wallet, encrypt it with a password, consider it gone. Look at it like bars of silver you buried in your backyard. After you do that, go ahead and research other coins and "play around" a little. That way you can have fun with everyone else in the short term while also not making a mistake and impulsively blowing the Warren Buffet of your investments.

    4. Charlie is a gift, just not the gift you always want him to be. He will have you fired up when he hypes LTC and when he comes out with cool updates. He will piss you off when he seemingly hates to see LTC shoot up in price. He is often conflicting. Rather than being mad one day and happy the next, try and figure out why you feel that way. What is he doing/saying that makes you feel that way? Why is he doing it? When answering these questions, don't think about yourself or Charlie; think about LTC. What benefits LTC? Is it price stability when potential businesses are considering implementing it? Is it growth when LTC needs marketing? How does each chess move work to compete against BCash? Think big, think long term. Charlie is.

    5. Don't doubt yourself. You're here for a reason. Your personality fits here for a reason. If we all end up being totally wrong, fine. But I'd rather go with what is in my gut and be wrong than ignore what was in my gut and realize I was right. Have confidence.

    My rebuttal to Bitfinex'ed's FUD article

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 05:37 PM PST

    https://medium.com/@bitfinexed/coinbase-insider-trading-litecoin-edition-be64ead3facc

    I saw this FUD article recently, and I figure I should refute it before it gets spread as truth. I've already seen many people say that it proves something. SMH

    Problem 1: Charlie Lee was an employee of Coinbase when Coinbase added Litecoin, a crypto-currency he 'created' by simply copying Bitcoin and changing the name and adjusting a few variables and a hash function taken 'scrypt' from another crypto-currency.

    Writing the initial code for Litecoin was easy. Doing it as fair as possible was the key. Fending off attacks and building the community from ground up was the hard part.

    Problem 2: Charlie Lee likely had significant holdings of Litecoin while he worked for Coinbase, and therefore may have asked many times for Coinbase to add Litecoin. Being an engineer at Coinbase, he may also be responsible for implementing the code to add Litecoin to Coinbase.

    I joined Coinbase in 2013 as the 2nd engineer and helped build Coinbase to become what it is today. I didn't just join them last year, get them to add Litecoin, and quit! I took 3 years before I felt like it made sense business-wise to add Litecoin to Coinbase. I pitched the idea to add ETH and LTC at the same time, but Brian and Fred decided to add ETH first. When it made sense, LTC was added to GDAX because LTC was the top-3 trading volume of any coins at that time. And when GDAX started doing huge volume for LTC, I asked Brian if it made sense for Coinbase to add LTC in that tweet. He said yes, and that was when the decision was made.

    Charlie Lee kept promising Coinbase will add Litecoin on the Litecoin Telegram.

    My post to telegram was after Brian announced on Twitter. So I did not leak any the news that Coinbase will add Litecoin. (check the dates: 4/5 versus 4/12)

    Problem 3: The Litecoin community was essentially dead prior to being listed on Coinbase, on reddit. The only people who wanted Litecoin listed, were people hodling their Litecoins, and presumably, Charlie Lee.

    This is conjecture. The community was not dead. Sure it's less people posting on reddit back then, but reddit is not the whole community. LTC was actively traded and that's the reason why Coinbase added Litecoin.

    Problem 4: Nobody was using Litecoin!

    Also conjecture. What mattered to Coinbase was trade volume and LTC was top 3.

    Problem 5: Irregular trading activity prior to Litecoin announcements.

    I don't see what was irregular. LTC was traded pretty crazily around that time because of SegWit and Coinbase adding news.

    Problem 6: Charlie Lee quit working for Coinbase almost immediately after Litecoin was added, to 'focus' on Litecoin.

    I was already doing part time in 2016 summer and spending more than half my time with Litecoin and adding SegWit. You would know if you were around back then. I told Coinbase late 2016 that I would leave sometime in 2017. The whole company knew already months before the decision was made to add Litecoin. So it was not like Coinbase adds Litecoin and then I immediately quit. If Coinbase decided not to add Litecoin, I would have left anyways. I was already spending most of my time on Litecoin.

    In summary, Coinbase adding Litecoin is due to Litecoin having large trading volume and a good business decision. And I did not trade LTC with insider news. Coinbase is highly regulated. If there's any shenanigans, Coinbase and I would easily be in big trouble.

    Our small motorcycle forum is accepting Litecoin to help offset the server cost!

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 09:12 AM PST

    Africatwin.org is a niche motorcycle forum dedicated to the Honda Africa Twin. We have users/riders from all over the world and accepted Litecoin in late of 2017 to help offset our server cost.

    We like Litecoin because of the fast confirmation time and our users can donate from all over the world bypassing large fees. In addition, the technology is incredible and we're on board.

    We're an independent forum and not operated by a corporation so this is exciting for us. We're looking forward to 2018 and how we can be more supportive of Litecoin in terms of integration and giving back to the community!

You'll be surprised how much less stress you have. Let your money work for you!!! You are in early. Believe in the team and let things progress. Only better from here.

    Coinbase stuck sending LTC?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 08:28 AM PST

    Is anyone else having this problem? I've tried sending a LTC to several people and my own wallet and it just hangs in 'sending' for hours. I eventually just force close the app and try again. Been having this problem for 2 days now.

    Why is litecoin almost non existent on r/cryptocurrency?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 11:13 AM PST

    Only started getting into everything this week, made my first few investments and keeping track of all the subs. Litecoin seems completely ignored on that sub, any reason?

    Simple Live LTC Ticker

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 10:22 AM PST

    I posted this yesterday but come to find out, the API I was using had a limited amount of hits each hour. This was causing data to not be viewed. I have reworked the logic and how we get the data so this does not happen again. Sorry to the users testing it yesterday and witnessed no data being displayed.

    This is a lightweight ticker that does not use your computer resources like some sites like GDAX and Binanace do.

    I will be doing updates in the future to allow you to put in your amount of coins instead of just 1 and see the value of all your coins change live.

    http://ltc.cticker.com/

    Tips are always welcome to help keep the sites up since hosting and domains are not free.

    Thanks for looking and enjoy

    Why ask him about Crypto when he still has this?

    Litecoin window never shows up

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 05:17 AM PST

    I had a really old install of litecoin. I uninstalled that and deleted the old cached files. Reinstalled a fresh litecoin and ran for a few hours to rebuild the database.

    I can open the debug menu from the tray, but clicking show/hide does nothing. I have a litecoin in my task bar, but never get the screen that I'd expect to see.

    Also side note, if nobody knows an answer to the above problem, is there an alternative if I just want to open an old wallet?
