How to Buy Litecoins
LocalCoinATM makes exchanging cash for litecoins easy. Here's a few instructions to help you buy and store litecoins safely.
STEP ONE: GET A LITECOIN WALLET
We recommend the following easy-to-use wallets. You'll need to take this wallet (or a printed QR code) with you, to the machine.
Caution: Make sure that the wallet used supports Litecoin. If the wallet is not compatible, you will lose your transaction amount.
LEDGER WALLET
Hardware wallets, Multi-Currency, Built-in Display, FIDO® Certified U2F, Top-notch Security, Backup/Restoration
STEP THREE: SCANNING YOUR LITECOIN QR CODE
- Tap the machine's touchscreen, then read the on-screen prompt.
- Select cryptocurrency: Litecoin
- In your wallet, find your address' QR code
- Hold it up to the machine's camera; the machine will scan it.
This tells the machine where to send your litecoins once you've confirmed your purchase.
STEP FOUR : PURCHASING YOUR LITECOINS
- After scanning the QR code, insert your CAD or USD* bill(s).
* Only our Niagara location accepts USD bills - Confirm the amount on the screen to complete your purchase.
Please note that there will be a service fee, which varies based on the Bitcoin market.
STEP FIVE: RECEIVING YOUR LITECOINS
Once you've confirmed your purchase, your litecoins will be sent to the address you provided*.
Transactions are usually instantaneous, but may take anywhere between 10–30 minutes, or even 1–2 hours in rare cases**.
Transactions at our ATMs are 100% anonymous.
* If you are going to send funds to another person, we recommended sending it to your own wallet first—especially if you do not know them personally.
** It is recommended that you wait for at least one confirmation on the Blockchain before spending or sending your purchased funds.
