# Litecoin-qt getblocktemplate ￼Support for 'segwit' rule requires explicit client support (code -8)

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-05-16)

I have downloaded the Windows version litecoin client from <https://litecoin.org/>. I am trying to setup CoiniumServ to serve as a LiteCoin Pool.

Most configuration are done.
However, I am facing this issue. When I try to query **getblocktemplate** from the litecoin-cli, I will get this error **Support for 'segwit' rule requires explicit client support (code -8)**.

Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance!

You need to explictly declare the segwit rule:

`litecoin-cli getblocktemplate '{"rules":["segwit"]}'`
