<p>You do not own a LTC-address (or BTC, or any other altcoin) on cryptsy or any other virtual currency exchange site. You can however see your balance of all crypto currencies in the 'Balance' tab. When you scroll down, you will see the LiteCoin with your current available balance and the balance that is in possible orders.

<p>Anyhow, what happens when you withdraw LTC to your own wallet, is that cryptsy looks at deposit wallets (for other people) they own. For example person <code>A</code>, <code>B</code> and <code>C</code> have all a different deposit wallet, and they deposited 1, 2 and 3 LTC respectively. You had fun trading, and want to withdraw 2.5 LTC. Cryptsy sends 2.5 LTC from the deposit wallet from person <code>C</code>, so there is only 0.5 LTC left in that wallet and you have (after confirmation) 2.5 LTC in your wallet.</p>

<p>When you trade, there is no 'real' LTC being transferred between wallets, only on withdrawl and deposits. Otherwise you cannot trade that fast (and other disadvantages, like fees and huge blocks)</p>

<p>I don't know much about Cryptsy, but why do you assume you should have an LTC address already?  Maybe the way out works is your LTC balance is just a number in their database.  If you want to use the funds you should look for a "withdraw" option and learn how that works.</p>

<p>And to answer your second question, yes, it looks like Cryptsy is an exchange but you should know that because you already traded doge for LTC on cryptsy.</p>

Anyhow, what happens when you withdraw LTC to your own wallet, is that cryptsy looks at deposit wallets (for other people) they own. For example person `A`, `B` and `C` have all a different deposit wallet, and they deposited 1, 2 and 3 LTC respectively. You had fun trading, and want to withdraw 2.5 LTC. Cryptsy sends 2.5 LTC from the deposit wallet from person `C`, so there is only 0.5 LTC left in that wallet and you have (after confirmation) 2.5 LTC in your wallet.

When you trade, there is no 'real' LTC being transferred between wallets, only on withdrawl and deposits. Otherwise you cannot trade that fast (and other disadvantages, like fees and huge blocks)
