\"What<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udc4b\" \u00a0there ! <\/span><\/p>\n

LeoList is introducing Litecoin (LTC) as our official payment currency.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why now?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As you may well know, crypto market capitalization surged to a record $2 trillion in recent days. Celebrations of course, but this brings with it certain issues as well – transaction times are taking considerably longer. <\/span><\/p>\n

While we are proud of the milestones Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) has reached; mass adoption on institutional levels with the likes of Microsoft, Paypal and Tesla accepting Bitcoin as payment<\/span>. This inevitably led to a spike in on-chain activity and consequently congestion on the network. Resulting in longer transaction times. <\/span><\/p>\n

The average transaction fee for Bitcoin is now ~ $23. This does not bode well for low value transactions or micropayments. Imagine paying almost as much in fees as the coffee you\u2019re purchasing with Bitcoin. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is Litecoin (LTC)?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Litecoin (LTC) is a cryptocurrency that ranks among the top 10 in crypto market cap. It was an early source-code fork of Bitcoin, created back in October 2011. Litecoin (LTC) addresses the shortcomings of Bitcoin in scaling to facilitate micropayments. The Litecoin (LTC) network processes a block every 2.5 minutes, rather than Bitcoin’s 10 minutes. This allows Litecoin (LTC) to confirm transactions way faster than Bitcoin and at much lower fees. The average transaction fee for Litecoin (LTC) is now ~ $0.50. <\/span><\/p>\n

What will happen?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \ud83d\ude45\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83d\ude45\u200d\u2642\ufe0f NO FEES will be imposed on Litecoin (LTC) payments to encourage adoption.<\/li>\n
  • \ud83d\ude13 Unfortunately, slow transactions and network fees for Bitcoin and Ethereum payments are no longer a sustainable option for us.<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udf04 A complete shift to Litecoin (LTC) payments: \u00a0May 4th, 2021: LeoList will only accept Litecoin (LTC). Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) will be discontinued.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What this means for you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \ud83d\udcc9 Lower network fees and quicker transaction turnaround. <\/span><\/li>\n
    • \ud83d\udc4d Litecoin (LTC) is readily available at all good Canadian Crypto ATMs and exchanges. So, nothing will change in the way you\u2019ve been purchasing crypto for your LeoList Advertisements; it\u2019s business as usual for you. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      We trust this decision will benefit the LeoList community at large in days to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      And as always, our customer support team are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, reach them by emailing support@leolist.cc<\/span><\/p>\n
