How to Buy Litecoin
If you want to own some Litecoin but aren't interested in mining it, purchase cryptocurrency with another cryptocurrency on an exchange site. Some of these exchanges, and other services, such as Coinbase, allow you to purchase Litecoin with fiat currency (currency that's backed by its issuing government), like U.S. dollars.

Litecoin Wallets
Like bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, litecoins are typically stored in a digital wallet. There are different kinds of wallets. Some are software-based and live on your computer or mobile device. Others are physical hardware wallets.


Another secure, yet outdated and complex, method to store litecoins is to create a paper wallet. Creating this wallet involves generating and printing a private key on a computer that isn't connected to the web.

Each wallet has private keys that are required to receive and send coins to and from your Litecoin address. Because these keys are stored offline in a hardware wallet, the keys are more secure than wallets connected to the internet.

These application-centric wallets exist in the form of desktop or mobile software and are available for most popular operating systems and devices. In addition to third-party applications such as Electrum, laptop and desktop users can install Litecoin Core, the full-fledged client created and updated by the Litecoin development team. Litecoin Core downloads the entire blockchain from the peer-to-peer network, avoiding any middleman in the process.

Litecoin Blockchain Explorers
As with other public cryptocurrencies, all Litecoin transactions in its blockchain are public and searchable. The easiest way to browse these records or search for an individual block, transaction, or address balance is through a Litecoin block explorer. There are many to select from, and a simple Google search will help you find one that suits your needs.
