Litecoin — Bitcoin's first fork

Litecoin-electronic peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, created in 2011 by a former employee of Google and Charlie Lee, when creating the basis was taken the source code of bitcoin (Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin). In the crypto community, it is often called "digital silver".

The speed and fees of the Litecoin blockchain

Litecoin is considered to be a fast blockchain, the average block exit time is 2.5 minutes.

Today, the average Litecoin transaction fee is 0.00049 LTC, which is approximately $0.03.

A brief history of the Lightning Network

The Bitcoin community has long been baffled by the scalability issue. The speed of transactions fell, and the network fees grew. In 2015 Thaddeus Dria and Joseph Poon proposed a solution called the Lightning Network. The idea was to carry out some of the transactions outside the network, thereby reducing the load on the BTC blockchain. In 2018, the Lightning Network was launched in Bitcoin.

The Lightning Network is a system that helps users move funds among themselves without having to use a blockchain to verify a transaction. Instead, there is a quick check of funds from the sender and a request from the recipient who agrees to the transaction.

Problems you may encounter while getting the Lightning Network

  1. If during the creation of an order when inserting an invoice, an error occurs about the absence of a path, this means that there is no created channel between our node and your wallet node. A channel is required to send and receive payments on the Lightning Network. If there is no open channel between our node and your wallet node, the payment will not be executed. It is recommended to try using a different wallet.
  2. If the order page indicates that the order was completed, but you did not receive the funds, then the reason for this may be:
  • Disconnected intermediate node. If one of the intermediate nodes is offline, the transaction may be delayed.
  • Insufficient amount of deposits on intermediate channels. Intermediate nodes cannot forward the payment due to lack of coins.
  • The invoice is out of date. Each invoice has a validity period. Of this term has expired, the payment will not work.

If your order is completed, but you have not received the funds, please contact technical support. We can help you quickly.

Lightning Network Speed

Since transactions on the Lightning Network do not end up on the blockchain, they are almost instantaneous. But if one of the intermediate nodes is off the network, the transaction may be delayed.
