About Litecoin

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created as a 'lighter' version of Bitcoin. It features faster block generation times (2.5 minutes vs Bitcoin's 10 minutes) and uses Scrypt as its proof-of-work algorithm. Litecoin has been a testing ground for Bitcoin features. Donate LTC through POTLOCK for public goods.
