I'm using
Litecoin version v0.8.6.1-beta
Litecoin-QT
I've backed up the wallet but I haven't encrypted it. Its not enough value to be even remotely significant to me tbh. But yeh point taken I should do that.
I've been buying Litecoins on a trading platform but due to daily expiry (and a $1 spread) was costing me $20 a day just to hold the a 20 Litecoin long position so am looking for a way to purchase them outright and I guess store them in the wallet.
