<p>There is this very <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/1762/how-to-call-json-rpc-sendtoaddress-when-the-wallet-is-encrypted">helpful post</a> detailing how to lock and unlock your bitcoin wallet using <code>walletlock</code> and <code>walletpassphrase</code> api calls. Unfortunately the <a href="https://litecoin.info/Litecoin_API" rel="nofollow noreferrer">litecoin api</a> does not boast these features. </p>

<p>I was wondering if there is a similar strategy in place for securing a litecoin wallet perhaps using the <code>lockunspent</code> command? </p>

# Locking litecoin wallet with JSON-RPC

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-11-02)

There is this very [helpful post](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/1762/how-to-call-json-rpc-sendtoaddress-when-the-wallet-is-encrypted) detailing how to lock and unlock your bitcoin wallet using `walletlock` and `walletpassphrase` api calls. Unfortunately the [litecoin api](https://litecoin.info/Litecoin_API) does not boast these features.

I was wondering if there is a similar strategy in place for securing a litecoin wallet perhaps using the `lockunspent` command?
