Fully validating Litecoin peer-to-peer network node, wallet and GUI

Litecoin Core connects to the Litecoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and a graphical user interface.

This snap packages the official Litecoin Core release binaries from download.litecoin.org. Every build fetches the upstream tarball together with the clearsigned SHA256SUMS.asc, verifies the PGP signature against the release signing key, checks the SHA256 checksum, and runs the upstream test suite before anything is packaged. Nothing is compiled from a third-party source tree, and a failed signature check fails the build.

Blockchain data and wallets are kept in ~/snap/litecoin-core/common/.litecoin/. A fully validating node needs a few hundred gigabytes of free disk space; pass -prune=<MiB> to litecoin-core.daemon if you have less.
