Once you’ve purchased your LTC, find the feature to SEND/RECEIVE (this is typically what it is called within their system - exchanges may vary in terminology) and fill in the address of the correct wallet address in your Qortal account. You’ll find this within the Qortal User Interface (Qortal UI). ****Please note:** your addresses for QORT, BTC, LTC, ARRR, and other coins we support are different addresses.

-FYI: Pages don’t refresh automatically to show updated status. Click away then come back in a few minutes, and you should see your completed trade listed in MY TRADE HISTORY, with the status of BOUGHT. If the history is blank, there can be delays in data propagating so do not fear, this trade history stops displaying in the UI after 24 hours (until further development allows for greater lengths of time). FYI: the wallet has a history of transactions that does NOT stop displaying after 24 hours - so you could refer to that as well to view all your buys and sells. +FYI: Pages don’t refresh automatically to show updated status.

 Congrats! You now own some QORT! Otherwise, the order may be refunded due to someone else making the purchase before you did, or the seller’s node failed to stay online. Remember, this is blockchain technology and truly decentralized peer to peer, so these refunds can happen as it takes time for each block to process the transactions. This is the nature of the system, and will be further improved with time! Congrats! You now own some QORT!
