One of the major improvements that we worked toward was the implementation of Litecoin as a direct payment method, which was driven by the high transaction fees and congestion facing the Bitcoin network. Our users rallied in their requests for direct Litecoin integration, and as always we made it a priority to make our user experience as awesome as possible.<\/p>\n<p>We are very happy to announce that after many, many hours of development and testing by <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/btcpayserver\/btcpayserver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BTCpay<\/a> and our team, <a href=\"https:\/\/litecoin.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Litecoin<\/a> is now fully enabled on <a href=\"http:\/\/coincards.com\/ca\">Coincards.ca<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Litecoin does <strong>NOT<\/strong> replace Bitcoin on our site, however simply allows users more choice!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to everyone for your patience, understanding and support during this process.
