What are address version values for P2WPKH and P2WSH (BIP-142) for Litecoin?

[prusnak]

Or does Litecoin only support (non-native) Segwit-in-P2SH?

[shaolinfry]

We are not using BIP142, we're using BIP173 with ltc1 and tltc1 prefixes

For normal P2SH addresses, we use M prefix now.

[prusnak]

Can you point me to your implementation of BIP173 in the source code? I don't see any Bech32 library using in this source tree, so I really doubt you are using BIP173 yet.

I understand if ltc, why 1 is included?

[prusnak]

I understand if ltc, why 1 is included?

read bip-173. It is a delimiter of human-readable string and encoded data.

[azuchi]

oh, I see. well then human-redable part is ltc.

@prusnak We obviously haven't implemented BIP173 in Litecoin Core yet, but it's being implemented already in some LN clients - we with LN devs that Litecoin would use bech32 with ltc1 as the prefix. M and Q addresses for P2SH have been implemented in 0.13.3rc1 and 0.14-dev.

[prusnak]

What are M and Q addresses?

[shaolinfry]

When Litecoin was launched, they didnt change the address prefix for P2SH addresses, so still retain the 3 (mainnet) and 2 (testnet) prefixes which has been very confusing and resulted in many people sending BTC to LTC addresses. We have changed this to M for mainnet and Q for testnet (old 3/2 prefixes will continue to work of course). See #279
