This year is going to be exciting when all the new utility is unlocked on LitVM.

Wonder what other innovations will be introduced to Litecoin soon?

Im 16 trying to get started with litecoin and wanted to ask where i could buy litecoin, i want to start with like 25$ or something like that, i already tried with Bitcoin but a lot of people want ltc over it so i want to switch to this, can anyone help me with like an app where i can convert my btc to ltc or just buy them directly thank you

My last “purchase” was a donation 😂.
But I love buying wearable Litecoin merchandise.

Curious the last time everyone bought something in the real world with Litecoin??

If yes, how was your experience? If not, what's the biggest reason holding you back?

Let that sink in….$LTCN 🚀

I’m not sure what the devs over at LitVM got going on right now but 135million transactions on a testnet??!! And counting!

Is LitVM part of the reason Litecoin is seeing an increase in price and social metrics this weekend??

Litecoin is not just an amazing form of payment, but also a tremendous store of value…

Interesting that MWEB adoption is up nearly 100k coins this week and now price is performing better than most of the market today. Up 5%.

Does this mean MWEB adoption is pushing LTC higher??

Just curious, what year did y’all make your first Litecoin purchase??

It has come to my attention that BIG purchases have been made in dark pools. Make what you will out of it.

Would love to hear some opinions dont be a lurker cause i’m about given up on this coin

I’ve ported the Bitcoin Research Kit (BRK) architecture to Litecoin, bringing institutional-grade, fully open-source macro analytics to the Litecoin ecosystem.

A while back, I built TestnetScan for Litecoin testnet and before that, I ported btc-rpc-explorer to Litecoin.

A few people asked for a mainnet version of TestnetScan, so I finally built one:

https://litecoinexplorer.org

It includes the normal explorer features you'd expect, such as blocks, transactions, addresses, mempool activity, fees, mining pools, difficulty, and network hashrate.

Some of the additional features include:

• First-class MWEB support
• MWEB shielded pool size and historical activity
• Peg-in and peg-out tracking
• MWEBscan integration for observable peg-out data
• Projected mempool blocks and fee estimates
• RBF tracking and replacement history
• Transaction ancestry
• xpub lookup
• Live mempool updates over Websockets
• A mempool.space-compatible API
• Block template auditing

The public instance runs entirely on my own litecoind and ElectrumX nodes, without relying on third-party explorer APIs.

The project is written in pure PHP and SQLite, without frameworks or a complicated container stack. It's designed to be easy to deploy, modify and self-host.

Fully open source under the AGPL with no ads, trackers, or accounts.

It's still under active development, so please let me know if you find incorrect data, broken pages, bugs, or missing features. Feedback and contributions are greatly appreciated.

You heard it here first.

What is the deal with this? Anyone know why it’s taking so long to get SEC approval?

I built a testnet wallet a while back (testnetwallet.net). It leaned on litecoinspace.org for Litecoin balances and broadcasting, and that explorer's testnet side has been stuck out of sync for about two weeks. Testnet explorers are scarce or half-abandoned in general, so rather than wait on it, I built a self-hostable one to point the wallet at instead: testnetscan.com

It runs off your own nodes (litecoind + ElectrumX), it's open source (AGPL-3.0), pure PHP + SQLite, server-rendered with no JS frameworks, no CDN, strict CSP, and no tracking. Self-host it, or use the public instance.

Honest caveat: it's testnet-only by design, the public instance runs off nodes I run (so that server sees your lookups, like any explorer), and the MWEBscan analysis below is inference from public-chain data, not proof. It says so on every panel.

The Litecoin side has full MWEB straight from the node: peg-ins, peg-outs, supply, kernel/output counts, and a per-block MWEB view. On top of that it pulls in from the testnet version of MWEBscan (my sister analysis project) as an overlay:

• Round-trip linking: peg-outs matched to earlier peg-ins with a confidence score. MWEB hides the amounts inside the extension block, but a peg-out whose amount and timing line up with an earlier peg-in is linkable, and this shows which ones and how confidently.
• Privacy scoring and anonymity sets: check how well a peg-out amount blends in before you use it. Round, common amounts hide in a large set; exact or odd amounts stand out.
• Entity attribution, address clustering, and a per-peg-out risk score.

It's also a normal explorer: blocks, transactions, addresses (with spent status and script detail), mempool with next-block projection and fee charts, a mining dashboard, xpub/ypub/zpub lookup, and broadcast/decode tools.

The whole point is seeing MWEB privacy work in practice instead of reading about it. Because it's testnet, nothing is at stake: do a peg-in, wait a few blocks, peg out the same round amount, and watch the linker connect the two at high confidence. Then try it with an odd amount and a longer gap and watch the confidence drop. It makes the "don't peg out naively" advice concrete.

Roadmap: a mainnet version is planned for Litecoin (same codebase, network-parameterized), plus cumulative MWEB kernel counts via a proper index.
