What to know about Bitcoin and Litecoin
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency. It was described in a 2008 white paper by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto and launched in January 2009. Bitcoin has no issuer or central operator: the rules are enforced by thousands of independent nodes, and the supply is capped at 21 million coins.
Sending and receiving BTC
Bitcoin addresses start with 1, 3 or bc1. The fee depends on how busy the network is, not on the amount you send, so wallets let you pick a faster or cheaper fee. A payment is usually treated as final after several confirmations; each new block adds one, so a transfer takes from about 10 minutes to an hour.
Litecoin (LTC)
Litecoin (LTC) was created by Charlie Lee in 2011 as a lighter, faster version of Bitcoin. It is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies still in active use.
How Litecoin works
Litecoin uses Proof of Work with the Scrypt algorithm and produces a block about every 2.5 minutes — four times more often than Bitcoin. The supply is capped at 84 million coins and the reward halves roughly every four years. Since 2022 the optional MWEB extension allows confidential transactions.
How to exchange Bitcoin to Litecoin
- Enter the BTC amount in the calculator (minimum 0.003 BTC) and click “Go to exchange”.
- Enter your LTC wallet address on the Litecoin network and your contact details.
- Send exactly the specified amount of BTC on the Bitcoin network to the details shown in the order.
- Once the transfer is confirmed, Litecoin is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.
What to check before exchanging BTC to LTC
- The recipient address must be on the Litecoin network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
- The amount sent must be at least 0.003 BTC.
- Copy the whole address and check the first and last characters after pasting.
- Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
