(Redirected from Litecoin/Electrum-ltc)WORK IN PROGRESS
I am in the middle of cleaning up the this article after copying from the Bitcoin/Electrum article. The Litecoin/Electrum-LTC is based off of Bitcoin/Electrum so the changes should be minimal...
Electrum-LTC
Electrum Litecoin Wallet - http://electrum-ltc.org/
- Lightweight Litecoin Wallet
"Electrum-LTC is an easy-to-use Litecoin client based on Electrum. It protects you from losing coins in a backup mistake or computer failure, because your wallet can be recovered from a secret phrase that you can write on paper or learn by heart. There is no waiting time when you start the client, because it does not download the Litecoin blockchain."
Features
- Instant on: Your client does not download the blockchain, it uses a remote server.
- Forgiving: Your wallet can be recovered from a secret seed.
- Safe: Your seed or private keys are not sent to the server. Information received from the server is verified using SPV.
- No downtimes: Several public servers are available, you can switch instantly.
- Ubiquitous: You can use the same wallet on different computers, it will auto-synchronize.
- Cold Storage: You can have secure offline wallets and still safely spend from an online computer.
- Open: You can export your private keys to other Litecoin clients.
Interesting:
- "Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, with trace amounts of copper and other metals. It has also been produced artificially, and is often known as green gold. The ancient Greeks called it 'gold' or 'white gold', as opposed to 'refined gold'. Its colour ranges from pale to bright yellow, depending on the proportions of gold and silver. The gold content of naturally occurring electrum in modern Western Anatolia ranges from 70% to 90%, in contrast to the 45–55% of electrum used in ancient Lydian coinage of the same geographical area. This suggests that one reason for the invention of coinage in that area was to increase the profits from seignorage by issuing currency with a lower gold content than the commonly circulating metal."

Sign Message
"The "Sign Message" feature is an advanced functionality of the Bitcoin client which allows you to sign arbitrary messages to prove to somebody that you are (were) in control of the funds of some Bitcoin address. For a usage example see this answer. You normally don't need this feature for day-to-day use of Bitcoin." [2]
"The signing mechanism is a way of proving that a particular message was signed by the holder of an address' private key. A merchant could ask that you sign a message stating where you want your order shipped to, using one of the addresses your payment originated from.
You should sign a statement saying "I, Jane Doe (jane.doe@email.com) sent 1.23 BTC to Acme Corp at 12:34pm, 1st Jan 2012 in payment for product XYZ for delivery to 456 High Street, Anytown, USA".
You shouldn't sign a vague statement saying "yes, I sent that money; send the product to the address I emailed you", because anyone seeing a copy of that signed message can then pass that on to the merchant with his own postal address and get the product you paid for, in the same way as you wouldn't put your signature to a piece of paper saying "I agree to the above" where the above was left blank. The postal address part won't be signed, but perhaps the merchant won't care." [3]

signmessage
signmessage - Sign a message with a key Syntax: signmessage <address> <message> If you want to lead or end a message with spaces, or want double spaces inside the message make sure you quote the string. I.e. " Hello This is a weird String "
Huh? I guess if you want to attach something to an email to verify it was you who sent the money??
