//THIS CODE IS A FORK MEANT FOR LITECOIN CORE. AS OF RIGHT NOW GOING THROUGH CODE AND CNTRL + SHIFT + F replacing bitcoin to litecoin and sat to lit in all files. Please review to make sure all have been changed. Also need to verify code for sats to see if there is anything limitiation for litecoin having 4x as many total "sats" lits as bitcoin..
ord is an index, block explorer, and command-line wallet. It is experimental
software with no warranty. See LICENSE for more details.
Ordinal theory imbues litoshis with numismatic value, allowing them to collected and traded as curios.
Ordinal numbers are serial numbers for litoshis, assigned in the order in which they are mined, and preserved across transactions.
See the docs for documentation and guides.
See the BIP for a technical description of the assignment and transfer algorithm.
See the project board for currently prioritized issues.
See milestones to get a sense of where the project is and where it's going.

ord relies on litecoin Core for private key management and transaction signing.
This has a number of implications that you must understand in order to use
ord wallet commands safely:
-
litecoin Core is not aware of inscriptions and does not perform sat control. Using
litecoin-clicommands and RPC calls withordwallets may lead to loss of inscriptions. -
ord walletcommands automatically load theordwallet given by the--walletoption, which defaults to 'ord'. Keep in mind that after running anord walletcommand, anordwallet may be loaded. -
Because
ordhas access to your litecoin Core wallets,ordshould not be used with wallets that contain a material amount of funds. Keep ordinal and cardinal wallets segregated.
Alpha ord wallets are not compatible with wallets created by previous
versions of ord. To migrate, use ord wallet send from the old wallet to
send sats and inscriptions to addresses generated by the new wallet with ord wallet receive.
ord is written in Rust and can be built from
source. Pre-built binaries are available on the
releases page.
You can install the latest pre-built binary from the command line with:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsLS https://ordinals.com/install.sh | bash -sOnce ord is installed, you should be able to run ord --version on the
command line.
On Debian and Ubuntu, ord requires libssl-dev when building from source:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
ord requires a synced litecoind node with -txindex to build the index of
litoshi locations. ord communicates with litecoind via RPC.
If litecoind is run locally by the same user, without additional
configuration, ord should find it automatically by reading the .cookie file
from litecoind's datadir, and connecting using the default RPC port.
If litecoind is not on mainnet, is not run by the same user, has a non-default
datadir, or a non-default port, you'll need to pass additional flags to ord.
See ord --help for details.
ord uses env_logger. Set the
RUST_LOG environment variable in order to turn on logging. For example, run
the server and show info-level log messages and above:
$ RUST_LOG=info cargo run server
