If you were holding Litecoin $LTC on February 18th at block 137111, then you are entitled to ten Litecoin Cash tokens for every one Litecoin that you held. For most wallets, the process is pretty simple (exchange wallets are a problem since the exchange has your $LCC, not you).
- Remove your crypto from the wallet in question and put it someplace safe (a different wallet)
- Download the LitecoinCore Wallet
- Go to the menu and enter the private key for the wallet that held $LTC at the fork
Simple. Unless you had your $LTC in a Loaf Wallet. This wallet doesn't provide users with the private key. It took me several days and the help of some people on twitter who went out of their way to help before I was able to claim my #LCC. Here is how:
- Follow the steps at https://t.co/oKln14Mrlo?amp=1 (here they are)
What you need
Seed keys
Computer
The ability to disconnect from the internet for security purposes.
LitecoinCore Wallet
The Steps
- Go to this github and click on "Clone/download". You can choose zip or desktop. I chose zip.
2)Turn off your wifi or access to the internet.
3)Open the bip-standalone.html file. It should appear on your browser. - Select "12" next to Generate. Then paste/type in your seed keys in the BIP39 Mnemonic section
5)Switch btc to ltc under "coin".
6)Click on the BIP32 tab. - Set the "BIP32 Derivation Path" to m/0'/0 and it should list your addresses below.
8)Look for the addresses you sent your litecoins to. Copy and paste that onto a doc. Same with your private keys.
9)If you can't find your address in step #8, set the "BIP32 Derivation Path" to m/0'/1 and it should list your change addresses.
10)Close the standalone .html web page and turn on your wifi. - Open Electrum-ltc. Go to Wallet-> Private Keys-> Sweep.
- Input your LTC address and private key.
Step 7 is where I got hung up. It looked like the derivation path was already set to m/0'/0 but it wasn't. Also, LoafWallet generates a new address for every transaction so you will need to enter as many addresses as you have had transactions which can be time consuming.
