What is Litebitcoin?

Litebitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Litebitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Litebitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Litebitcoin Core software, see https://lbtc.info.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Litebitcoin Core.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
