@MyAdverts: Sure Smiley To start with, if you've used a whole bunch of different receive addresses it can make your life easier to make a new receive address, and send all your coins to yourself before the fork. That way, you only have one key to import later.

1. After the fork block, create another new receive address and send all your coins to that new address. This is to protect your LTC -- remember the Golden Rule for Safe Forking: Never paste a private key that still holds live funds into ANY wallet or website -- including ours.

2. If you sent all your coins to yourself in step 1 you only need to do this once (otherwise, repeat for every LTC address you had that held funds during the fork block). In Litecoin Core, hit the Help menu -> Debug window -> Console. Type the following:

Code:
dumpprivkey YOUR_LTC_ADDRESS_HERE

3. The string returned by that command is your private key. In the Litecoin Core wallet, hit File -> Import Private Key and paste it in. When you paste an address, the wallet will offer to rescan the blockchain. If you're importing multiple keys, say No -- if you're importing a single key, or the last of your multiple keys, say Yes.

The resync process will take a few minutes; after that your wallet will show your LCC balance.


Kinda confusing but don't you mean in step 3 your to import the private key into the LCC wallet and not the litecoin core wallet?

- Yes, apologies! Step 3 should indeed say Litecoin Cash wallet.
