The number of LTC addresses is skyrocketing!
Open Source Litecoin is fully decentralized in the fact any one person could submit code into the network and as long as a majority of miners agree to that fork it will be implimented. This is similar to bitcoin.

Litecoin MWEB transaction serialization and weight calculation issue
However, this serialization format seems to contradict with BIP 0144, which states: "if the witness is empty, the old serialization format must be used." also contradict the comments in the litecoin source code at https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master/src/primitives/transaction.h

Mimblewimble Progress Update Thread - November
In order to add MWEB support to PSBTs, I first had to merge in PSBTv2 (BIP-0370), which can be seen here. I then defined the MWEB fields we needed to add, and added them to the PSBT data structures along with serialization and deserialization here.

Newbie Question - Wallets
Okay if custody of your own coins is priority for you, and you don't want to run a node straight away, I guess my recommendation is Zap Desktop. You can also get it from its github page. Basically it's running an lnd node in the background, but it presents a nice GUI as a front end.

My reply to people who tell me to “just use lightning”
There are various wallets for the desktop, but I never used one. I think Electrum has Lightning intergration, there is also Zap (https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-desktop) I use a https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz with Zap mobile wallet connecting to the node for payments (there is an app and desktop version).
