wow this is news to me…I would not buy it though only because it is pointless to me…no volume at all and only 4 exchanges have it…and you cant even exchange for dollars…
I’m sorry to hear about this…honestly I am…it really breaks my heart to think someone would fork litecoin to a 8 mb blocksize because that is the last thing litecoin would ever need…there is no problem with litecoin block size…if that is what they are doing…honestly I have not read up on it and that is just an assumption…
Crap for volume too…because its new? more than likely because there is no need or demand for a litecoin gold anyway…

Back to your initial question…sorry for venting like that…
being that Litecoin and bitcoin are similar in every way but the hashing algorithm you may be able to try this from another post on here as long as you have the private key for the address:
You’re going to need a fully synced Litecoin-qt install for this to work, which may take 5-10 hours.

  1. Open up this page, BitAddress.org, and LiteAddress.org
  2. Copy your private key into the Wallet Details tab on BitAddress.org. Scroll to the bottom and copy the “Private Key Hexadecimal Format (64 characters [0-9A-F]):” value.
  3. Go to the LiteAddress.org page and move around your mouse until the Wallet Details tabs appears. Put in the hex key from the previous step in here.
  4. Select and copy the compressed WIF key (NOT the one starting with 6). Also keep note of the “Litecoin Address Compressed” from the first half of the page (starting with L)
  5. Open up Litecoin-qt, then head into the debug console.
  6. Run importprivkey “” (with quotes).
  7. Once the import finished, run addwitnessaddress “”.
  8. Wait for this import to finish as well. Take the M-address from the console and use this tool to convert it to a 3-Address.
  9. If the funds haven’t shown up yet, close Litecoin-qt.
  10. Restart Litecoin-qt along with a rescan. This varies by OS, and in most cases will happen automatically if you wait for 10 minutes or so before restarting.

unless you used a trezor or something…they apparently have their own method for recovering sends to wrong address’…seen here: http://trezor.io/recover-coins/
