    Hi all I'm new to crypro. I had some Ltc coins in CEX.IO. I withdrew them and sent them to my wallet. To been half an hour and it's not showing in my wallet. Have I messed up or does it just take a bit of time? Thanks

    Requesting Litecoin (LTC) Integration with Discord -- Community Support Needed

    Posted: 30 Jan 2019 03:46 PM PST

    Hi folks,

    Litecoiners in Discord are seeking to get Litecoin Integrated into Discord so people can easily tip/donate and send Litecoin through Discord P2P.

    You can help make this happen by contacting Discord and requestiong a In-App Feature that allows users to input their LTC addresses to their Discord Profile.

    To contact Discord about this request please follow the steps below.

    https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

    Help & Support > In-App Feature Request

    Hello, I am a member of the many Discord channels, and we're discussing discord Integrations with Twitch, Steam etc.. We would like Discord to include Litecoin(LTC) as an integration so we can link a donation address to discord. This could be very simple. It would require an input field, QR Code converter. Then when people go to Discord Profile and click "LTC", a QR Code would come up on screen. Once the transaction has gone through perhaps a notification could be sent to the user. Thank you for this consideration, Best

    Prove of work - The energy myth behind it

    Fungi-bull???

    Posted: 30 Jan 2019 10:31 PM PST

    At Safeway today, I just got an old $10 bill back in change - and it definitely looks like it may have been a few places over the years! Maybe this bill started out its life decades ago on the East Coast, and worked it's way all the way over to where I live on the West Coast? Maybe this $10 bill was put into a Church offering plate more than a few times, but then too it was probably used to buy some joints at a school in the 70s, or a porn mag in 1988 and then again in 2001? Maybe it was used by a tax evading farmer to pay an off the books migrant worker far less than he was worth? Maybe it was stolen from it's rightful owner a few times?...

    So. is this $10 bill in my pocket a "good" bill because of where it has been and what it has been used for and by whom? Or is it a "bad," bill for all the same reasons??? I blissfully don't know - and don't really care - it's $10 bucks!

    Which brings me to my confused understanding of fungibility in action as it applies to Bitcoin and Litecoin: I have vaguely come to understand that a specific Bitcoin can become "tainted." Does the TAINT only attach at the point of mining creation (sort of like knowing the origin), never to be scrubbed off because it came from a "bad" miner? Or, can a Bitcoin (or Litecoin) become TAINTED years after it was created (because some idiot bought child porn with it)?

    But is this understanding WRONG: Is it that only the txn history of the SENDER can become TAINTED and not a specific coin?

    The North Korean's likely have more than a few Bitcoin and Litecoin lying around that they may have obtained and used in various "tainted," ways - but what I guess I am hoping Charlie or someone explains is can those coins eventually be sent back into the West with no consequence for the new receiver? Or would our government come knocking on such a receiver's door and say, "sorry hand over your cold wallet - the Bitcoin on it was used for something illegal 5 years ago?"

    I don't get why Litecoin isn't already like my $10 bill example right now. Thanks for any education on this.

    "Lite" reading on Confidential Transactions

    Posted: 30 Jan 2019 02:51 PM PST

    I put together a list of reading material u/coblee had shown in his tweet. It reads like an all star list of cryptographers. Some of them, such as Felix Weis' article discuss different confidential transactions from other papers.

    I thought other people might appreciate the list. I will be very very extremely interested to hear about the direction Charlie Lee plans to recommend for Litecoin given there are quite a few variations and takes on confidential transactions.

    Very supportive though of the direction he is going with Litecoin. Specifically that fungibility is the most important missing property. I don't know if the scaling debate is totally behind us, although there is a clear road there and so while work still needs to be done the path to get there seems to be clearly articulated. Looking forward to hearing his thoughts on fungibility and that best route to achieve that given the clear pros and cons in front of us.

    And the list:
