SO you wanna be a rich guy eh?
 
well I can sorta help you
since you're slightly helping me.
 
LTC is on the rise
on the 29th of april they were 70 cents
on april 1st they were a dorra twenny
 
okok I'll stop wasting as much of your time as I can.
 
to get started with LTC:
 
http://litecoin.org/
 
download the client on this website and get your wallet code (it will be automatically generated)
 
it should look something like this: LNp8tJ3g1Unu81bEEUnHYeVKECGjwBGhB2 (DO NOT USE THIS ADDRESS ON MARKET WEBSITES, USE YOUR OWN ADDRESS)
 
Ok next you will want to make a Bitcoin wallet
https://www.bitcoin.de/en
this is a good website, you can trust them they are german.
 
Some good places to buy BTC and LTC inside the aus are
 
www.spendbitcoins.com/ (YOU CAN ONLY BUY BTC FROM HERE, usually the cheapest option though)
 
https://www.omnicoins.com/ (these guys sell BTC LTC and NMC, and you can purchase from them, but there BTC prices are higher than the previous link)
 
NOT THAT TO BUY ANY "COIN" INSIDE AUS, YOU MUST MAKE A CASH DEPOSIT INSIDE OF A BANK (NAB commonwealth Westpac Bendigo etc...) You don't necessarily have to make desposit inside of your preferred bank.
 
Just use your actual name and preferred email (because if for whatever reason it stuffs up you don't want be a "fraud" or whatever)
 
Omnicoins and Spendbitcoins require you to make CASH deposits into a CHeque account
 
ez mode
 
go to omnicoins.com
 
select whatever coin whatver coin (litecoin in this case)
 
select a certain amount or choose to pay a certain amount
 
fill in your first name AND last name and preferred email with your Litecoin address

Some other usefuls tips
-Mining BTC is a bit pointless now unless you have free electricity or have one of those sparkly ASIC machines
-Mining LTC isn't as pointless but you gotta jump on the train quick. a good pool to mine for is litecoinpool.org (use cgminer)
-If you're using BTC/LTC for drug purchases or other illegal stuff, It's best to AVOID The Silk Road. Police are targeting deals/trades from there so watch out.
-if you're too lazy to go to the bank you can make a small amount of BTC from here http://cur.lv/lfnz (yes bunnyrun is hilarious)

a new version may come out whenever.
