all three major domestic exchanges can trade: bitcoin China BTCC, bank okcoin and currency network Huobi. In addition to bitcoin, only lightcoin can trade in these three exchanges. It can be seen that lightcoin is comparable to bitcoin in terms of security and recognition
whether you can invest or not depends on the specific situation of the indivial. You can't give specific suggestions
there will be an important upgrade of Leyte soon, and the K-line chart shows that the current price is at a historical low
finally, I would like to remind you that many MLM teams now see the value of bitcoin and lettercoin, such as global circulation, anonymity, decentralization and so on. We must carefully distinguish between bitcoin and lettercoin in the name of MLM.
was released on October 7, 2011. It is currently the highest market value counterfeit coin, about 1% of BTC's market value, or US $1000W. Compared with BTC, LTC is faster, with an average of 2.5 minutes and 6 confirmations per block in 15 minutes. In addition, the number of LTCs is four times that of BTCs, with a total of 8400w. At present, LTC uses scrypt algorithm, which needs a lot of memory support. The professional mining machine on the market can not be used for LTC mining, only the graphics card
what is the difference between lightcoin and bitcoin
1. Transaction: easier to use, larger volume and greater appreciation potential. The block confirmation time is shorter, which is four times faster than bitcoin. For example, pizza owners are more willing to accept LTC payment to save transaction time< Mining:
special algorithm creates the unique charm of LTC, which is also the key to stand out from Shanzhai coins. Scrypt algorithm uses sha256 as its subroutine, and scrypt itself needs a lot of memory, each hash is used as the input seed, and then needs a lot of memory to store another seed pseudo-random sequence, Generate pseudo-random points of sequence and output hash value. The key is that scrypt algorithm needs a lot of memory while sha256 algorithm does not. So in this era when BTC mining of graphics card is coming to an end, LTC mining is about to usher in a golden period of development. Because of the high cost of memory, any ASIC or FPGA has no advantage over graphics card mining. LTC has advantages, at least in the foreseeable future
3. The biggest threat of bitcoin is 51% attack:
some shanzhais are killed by 51% attack. To be honest, LTC is a worry for the development of LTC and BTC, of course. However, the specific problems they face are different: BTC can avoid 51% attack through technology upgrading (such as end block reconstruction, careful node upgrading, and calculation difficulty), However, there is no way to evade LTC technology. However, e to the scattered computing power of graphics card mining and the increasing difficulty, this problem needs to be paid attention to, but don't worry too much. With the use of ASIC in BTC, the risk of 51% attack is increasing. I hope BTC development team can solve this problem as soon as possible.
① lightcoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation
② lightcoin network is expected to proce 84 million lightcoins, which is about four times the circulation of bitcoin network
③ in its workload proof algorithm, lightcoin uses scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival, which makes it easier to mine lightcoin on ordinary computer than bitcoin
lightcoin is the most successful digital currency to imitate bitcoin. At present, major platforms support lightcoin transactions, including 58coin. It can be seen that lightcoin is comparable to bitcoin in terms of security and recognition.
litecoin is short for LTC, and its English name is litecoin. Litecoin stands for lightweight. The meaning behind litecoin is lightweight currency
1. Bitcoin generates a block every 10 minutes, while lightcoin LTC generates a block every 2.5 minutes. This means that lightcoin has faster transaction confirmation efficiency. Bitcoin transfer sometimes takes 1 hour or even longer to arrive at the account, but lightcoin generally takes less than 20 minutes to confirm
2. Since the LTC speed of lightcoin is four times that of bitcoin, and the reward of each block is the same as bitcoin, the total amount of money is four times that of bitcoin, which is 84 million lightcoins, which is higher than that of bitcoin<
3. Bitcoin adopts sha256 encryption algorithm, and lightcoin adopts script encryption algorithm. Compared with bitcoin, lightcoin LTC has a slightly lower computational load, which makes it easier to mine and more suitable for graphics card
(GPU) operation. At the same time, FPGA (field programmable gate array) and ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) implemented for script are better than sha256 used for bitcoin, More expensive.
in addition, there is another kind of asset with the characteristics of anonymity. Its main functions include protecting the privacy of both sides of payment while realizing payment. The more famous ones are dash, monero and zcash
currency is mainly used as the "exchange medium" in the field of blockchain assets. The exchange medium is the general equivalent you use to exchange goods. For example, gold, silver and silver bills can be used as the exchange medium in the past
at present, there are more than 1000 types of digital assets in the world, and the number of currency blockchain projects is not growing fast. As of January 2018, bitcoin is still the largest market value. We are already familiar with bitcoin. In the next few episodes, we will give a detailed introction to Leyte coin, Xinjing coin, Dasch coin, Monroe coin and zcash.
crazy currency speculation attracts more crazy hackers
(for reference picture: "2017 digital cryptocurrency trading platform attacked timeline" or "2017 digital cryptocurrency blackmail virus event timeline")
it is expected that in 2018, criminal activities around digital cryptocurrency will show a high incidence trend . However, users with a small amount of digital cryptocurrency may no longer be the main target of hackers. In 2018, there may be a large number of apt (advanced persistent thread) attacks against groups and users with a large number of digital cryptocurrency
and for ordinary Internet users, hackers are more likely to implant mining Trojan horse in their computers . Vulnerability exploitation, plug-in program, webpage hanging horse, weak password and so on are the main transmission ways of mining Trojan horse. Among them, vulnerability exploitation is an important means for criminals to obtain digital cryptocurrency because of its fast propagation speed and wide influence
