I wonder if is there any update on LN uses for Litecoin. I haven't found much. Any community to open channels? Any custodial LN Litecoin wallet?
Thanks

With those fees there is not much use on LN

While many seem focused on the 'non-fungible' we've been working on "fungibility". Learn more about #MWEB and the Battle for Sound Money.

Litecoin has lightning?

Yes, Litecoin does indeed have lightning. In fact, Litecoin was first before Bitcoin to prove that Lightning was not only theoretically possible, but literally possible as well.

Just like Litecoin Discord. Joke aside, when the Founder left and sold his coins that was it in my opinion. Trust was broken, hard to come from that and there is ETH which was pumped due to contracts/tokens/mining wars etc.. not to mention others likes of Solana. LTC is in a pinch.

It is true but there is no impact on growth in litecoin ecosystem(

I've quite the opposing view, even if I'm more a "Bitcoiner" than a "Litecoiner": when Charlie Lee sold his coins, I began to take LTC more seriously. Exactly because of the trust issue - in a cryptocurrency there should be never a single person you have to "trust".

Bitcoin has still the problem that nobody knows what will happen with Satoshi's coins. Many are worried about that - I'm not so much, because anyway if they're sold that will send down the price only for the short term, on the long term it should be strengthened. But anyway, LTC has already survived this stage - this can be seen as an advantage.

have you tried it and got that $11, I just signed up there but haven't done anything yet, still not sure if the $11 will be ours or will be donated, sorry if this question bothers you, your little answer would mean a lot

Litecoin’s MWEB on Your Mobile Phone Is Nearly Just a Click Away

As mobile wallets begin to adopt MWEB, the number of Litecoins on MWEB is expected to increase drastically. As a natural progression, an important goal would be for businesses that’d benefit from MWEB’s features to consider its integration, achieving increased protection of their users (and their own) data while storing and transacting Litecoin. As MWEB infrastructure continues to be built out, the next step will be adoption and mass integration, which will come as more people make use of MWEB’s benefits.
