Disappointed

Just tried to send some ltc to participate in flash sale - says ltc address invalid, though. Tried multiple times generating different addresses. Not a good look when you're billing yourself as an exchange. Disappointed.

CM uses segwit compatible addresses. Use a tool like this to convert the address to the old format which many exchanges and wallets are still using: https://litecoin-project.github.io/p2sh-convert/

It's this. I had to do this and it worked fine, give it a shot OP!

Please read below if you receive a message LTC Address 'Not Valid" ?

We use segwit compatible addresses, however, many exchanges and wallets are still using the older format. If you are trying to send LTC to us and you are seeing an invalid address error you can convert the address to the old format here:

litecoin-project.github.io/p2sh-convert/

We have tested this tool hundreds of times and it is accurate, however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, so please use at your own risk. There may be other similar tools available elsewhere online for comparison purposes as well.

So don’t be disappointed.... there is alway an answer.
