LiteDoge is a digital asset that uses cryptography to secure the transactions and asset transfers. It uses a network of peer-to-peer nodes to verify and record transactions in a public distributed ledger.

LiteDoge wallet is a program that participates the p2p network as a full node by validating transactions and blocks from other full nodes. It’s also a wallet to store your LDOGEs, so you must take the same precautions you would when using any cryptocurrency wallet. This guide walks you trough the most basic stuff, but please take your time to educate yourself before using LiteDoge to any real financial transactions.

/home//.litedoge/

/Users//Library/Application Support/LiteDoge/ Create a file called using nodepad or any writing program save as a .txt file and rename the file along with the extension name litedoge.conf in your data directory and add following lines to speed up syncing:

server=1 listen=1 port=17014 rpcport=17015 maxconnections=50 gen=0 dns=1 testnet=0 allowreceivebyip=1 dnsseed=1 rpcuser=any string of numbers and letters to make up a username like adbacbnk34533 rpcpassword=any password addnode=108.95.86.140 addnode=122.173.31.90 addnode=154.246.247.104 addnode=154.57.7.131 addnode=174.84.66.125 addnode=185.220.100.252 addnode=185.236.200.18 addnode=195.46.187.110 addnode=24.18.45.238 addnode=46.223.163.38 addnode=67.173.133.238 addnode=68.134.231.97 addnode=71.196.70.246 addnode=71.84.23.132 addnode=87.116.165.147 addnode=87.123.244.103 addnode=87.123.244.98 addnode=88.78.111.11 addnode=95.217.77.209 Now restart your wallet and leave it on!

Optional: Bootstrapping the blockchain Download bootstrap.dat: https://t.co/NT1u4Fvk3n

If you are in hurry, you can fast forward syncing by downloading the blockchain and bootstrapping it. Download the bootstrap.dat file and unpack it replacing everything except wallet.dat and litedoge.conf in your data directory, and restart the wallet. This time syncing should take only less than hour to complete!

When your wallet is fully synchronized, you can receive LDOGE and start staking.

Staking LiteDoge New coins (LDOGE) are created as a reward for running a node in a process known as staking. You can earn LiteDoge by validating block transactions. Keep your coins for at least 8 hours in your wallet and they will be eligible for staking. The time needed to get stake reward depends on the number of coins you hold in your wallet.
