Peer-to-peer network based digital currency
Litecoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.
Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin. By default connects to an IRC network to discover other peers. Full transaction history is stored locally at each client. This requires 5+ GB of space, slowly growing.
This package provides the daemon (litecoind), the CLI tool and the daemon.
