Is there any plans for this project to provide an api to allow transactions with just the private hex similar to blockchian.info? I can't seem to find any litecoin service that is willing to do this.
Yes, we have this in mind. There will be new features around paper wallets and private keys.
However we don't currently have plans on implementing API access.
Lame. Ok, well thank you for your response. I didn't want to be bothered with running a full litecoin client just to push transactions to the chain, this is a huge barrier to overcome for web developers. Massive amounts of storage is required to work with multiple chains, there has to be a better solution.
