SHA256 • Hive Mining • Fast • Democratised
No mining hardware? No problem; Hive Mining doesn't need any. Or, mine with traditional SHA256 hardware.
It's here! After overwhelming support for activation, our revolutionary mining system is NOW LIVE.
Initial distribution based on years of Litecoin blockchain history, with 10:1 claim ratio.
LCC is working with ACAIM to investigate medical uses for blockchain technology.
Litecoin Cash was the first cryptocurrency to be dropped from space.
Our 0.16 wallet release brings full support for HD wallets and native SegWit using bech32 addresses.
Anybody can mine LCC with The Hive and no special hardware is required.
All you need is the Core wallet and a computer with internet connection.
Litecoin Cash was forked from Litecoin on 18 Feb 2018 at block 1371111, with a 10:1 Claim Ratio. For every 1 LTC held at the fork block, LTC holders could claim 10 LCC. If you held LTC at block 1371111 but haven't claimed yet, your LCC are still waiting for you!
After the fork block, Litecoin Cash switched to SHA256 proof-of-work hashes. This enables a new use for previously obsolete Bitcoin mining hardware. Mining difficulty is recalculated every block, using Evan Duffield's proven DarkGravity V3 for more predictable block times as well as network protection from multipool hopping. To prevent early dominant miners from having an unfair advantage, block rewards scaled up linearly over the first 2000 blocks.
The fork features replay attack protection & a new address prefix to prevent confusion and inter-chain issues.
LCC's target block time of 2.5 minutes gives 4 times the transaction bandwidth of Bitcoin, while transactions are 90% cheaper than Litecoin. HD wallets and native SegWit with bech32 addresses are fully supported.
Read our launch whitepaper !To celebrate the success of our first season of development, Litecoin Cash became the first cryptocurrency to be dropped from space.
We partnered with Sent Into Space to send a balloon to an altitude of 32km, where it released 160000 Litecoin Cash. Multiple on-board cameras captured the action.

A brand new method of mining has been added to Litecoin Cash - and after sensational support from miners for the user-activated soft fork, it's operational RIGHT NOW on both testnet and mainnet.
The Hive, our agent-based mining system, requires no specialised hardware; anything from a Raspberry Pi to your normal desktop PC is fine. It's centered around the concept of worker bees, which can be created by any LCC holder, who then becomes a beekeeper.
Once mature, worker bees have a finite lifespan during which they live inside the blockchain and help to secure it by minting blocks. Beekeepers will earn rewards whenever one of their bees mints a block.
For more information, read our whitepaper, "The Hive: Agent-based Mining in Litecoin Cash"
In Season 3 the core focus of Litecoin Cash is to liberate the people by making LitecoinCash secure and accessible. There are several major improvement that are implemented for Hive Mining in this season which will provide better mining profitability for smaller scale hive miners.
Secondly we’ve switched to linearly weighted moving average (LWMA) to improve sha256 difficulty adjustment.
In addition to that a new method of mining will be added to Litecoin Cash called MinotaurX. The goal of MinotaurX is to liberate people by allowing anyone with a suitable CPU join the ranks of Litecoin Cash miners.
Join us on this journey as this is the beginning before we tackle Rialto.
Our whitepapers explain our goals and vision, and are available below.

Electrum-LCC is a light (SPV) wallet; it doesn't need to download the full blockchain to operate.
It's ideal if you want to import a keyphrase from Ledger, Trezor, Electrum-LTC or Loaf.
Your keys are stored just as securely as with the full wallet.
Note that Electrum is not capable of hive mining.

Light mobile wallets for iOS and Android which supports LCC.
The Xeeda hardware wallet is available to pre-order now, and will feature full support for Litecoin Cash.
No. We're using the Litecoin Cash name simply because it has become customary in recent months for a coin which forks a blockchain to prefix its name with the name of the coin being forked. This practice has become a widely understood convention. We're not associated or affiliated with Charlie Lee or any of the Litecoin team in any way; we are big fans though.
Absolutely. If you were holding Litecoin at block 1371111, and you haven't yet claimed LCC, it's still there waiting for you. Always practice safe forking. That means you must never paste private keys that hold live funds into ANY website or wallet in order to claim fork coins -- including ours. First, move your LTC to a new address, and only then may you use the private key from the "old" address to claim your LCC.
We've made it super easy to claim. No need to mess around in the debug console! Download a wallet for your platform, and you'll find a menu item to help you import your Litecoin private keys and claim your Litecoin Cash.
