The development history of Leyte coin
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 (LTC, currency symbol: 321;) It is a kind of network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology. It is also an open source software project under MIT / X11 license. It can help users make instant payments to anyone in the world< better use of digital currency trading platform coin exchange
data expansion:
lightcoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC), and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol, and is not managed by any central organization. Lightcoin aims to improve bitcoin. Compared with bitcoin, lightcoin has three significant differences. First, the lightcoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation. Second, the lightcoin network is expected to proce 84 million lightcoins, four times the amount of money issued by bitcoin network. Thirdly, the scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival is used in lightcoin's workload proof algorithm, which makes it easier to mine lightcoin on ordinary computer than bitcoin. Each Leyte is divided into 100000000 smaller units, defined by eight decimal places

CCTV on October 30, 2013 The price of bitcoin in China reached 2630 yuan on November 9, 2013, according to the report of Taiwan's two sets of "global financial link"
PayPal, the world's largest online payment platform, announced that it will cooperate with three bitcoin payment service providers to test bitcoin payment, but the payment service is only limited to virtual proct transactions, and users can only use bitcoin to buy e-books, electronic music, electronic games, electronic music, electronic games, etc And mobile phone ringtones
bitcoin is a new type of virtual currency, which is generated by a large number of calculations based on special algorithms. According to rigorous calculations, the stock of bitcoin is limited, with a total of 21 million, no more or less. After being created, bitcoin has rapidly become a "fixed asset" pursued by Internet speculators
in February 2014, mtgox, the world's largest trading platform, went bankrupt, casting a shadow on the whole bitcoin instry. Since the middle of 2014, the price of bitcoin has been in a downward trend for a long time
on August 12, 2015, the price of a bitcoin was only close to 1700 RMB
on the afternoon of February 8, 017, the inspection team of the business management department of the people's Bank of China interviewed the main principals of nine bitcoin trading platforms in Beijing, including "China bitcoin", "bitcoin trading network", "bitcoin", "yuncoin", "Yuanbao", "btc100", "jucoin", "coin shell" and "dahonghuo", which are engaged in bitcoin trading, Report the current problems of bitcoin trading platform, prompt the possible legal risk, policy risk and technical risk of the trading platform, understand the operation of the nine trading platforms, and put forward clear requirements: it is not allowed to engage in financial business such as financing currency, participate in money laundering activities, and violate the relevant national anti money laundering and anti money laundering regulations Foreign exchange management, payment and settlement and other financial laws and regulations shall not violate the state tax and instrial and commercial advertising management laws and regulations. If any bitcoin trading platform is found to have violated the above requirements and the circumstances are serious, the inspection team will request the relevant departments to shut down and ban it according to law

the first is bitcoin,
the second is Leyte, and
the third is dogcoin
from the perspective of algorithm advanced,
the oldest is bitcoin graphics card algorithm.
then there are the CPU algorithms of Leyte coin and doggy coin
the latest popular algorithm is the X11 algorithm of the black coin, which is developing rapidly
from the perspective of currency adopted by big trading platforms
bitcoin China, okcoin, fire coin, coin deposit, bitcoin trading network, China bitcoin. Without exception, bitcoin and lettercoin are used
from the analysis of this situation, although bitcoin is old, it has a lot of platform and application support, and has advantages in the short term
the algorithms of Leyte coin and doggy coin are also relatively backward, and it is estimated that they will not last for a year
the development of new algorithmic currencies, such as black money, is a matter of time, but the application expansion is too little, and it will take a long time to really develop
but we are definitely not talking about dark currency. In fact, all currencies except bitcoin are improved on the basis of bitcoin source code, not reformed, so it is inevitable that they will be eliminated
we are looking forward to a new currency and a revolutionary currency!
In fact, the recent wncry virus is not the first time that blackmail software has become powerful. Not long ago, Android system also appeared a blackmail software, mobile phone encryption after ransom. After the software was checked and killed, it soon made a comeback with an upgraded version. This new version of blackmail software infects files with a random key, and even attackers don't know how to unlock it. Even users pay ransom in vain
we can see that with the continuous development of IT technology, although there are many IT employees, the main employees are mainly concentrated in the fields of mobile platform, cloud and artificial intelligence, and the most popular programming language has graally evolved from C and C + + for underlying operation to managed Java or even go language for modeling. The field of information security is a technology that directly faces the bottom. Fewer and fewer people are engaged in the bottom programming, which means that the number of practitioners of information security is getting smaller and smaller. The direct consequence of this phenomenon is that the backward technology can attack the advanced technology in the network world, which is very similar to the invasion of advanced civilization by the backward barbarians in human society. The recent outbreak of wncry virus may come from North Korea, which also confirms this trend from the side. Some organizations and even countries are not qualified to engage in high-end technology, but the virus they write can spread all over the world. Blackmailer software has further expanded the scope of attack, such as online games, smart cars and wearable devices have a large number of leaks. Reviewing the history of such software can be roughly divided into the following stages
from the current situation, there is no sign of easing the bifurcations of bitcoin, but the emergence of bitcoin ETF and wncry virus has pushed the price of bitcoin to new highs. Personally, I think the short-term rate of bitcoin will probably exceed 20000 RMB. However, considering that there is not all the competition for bifurcations among varieties such as lightcoin, from the perspective of investment, if bitcoin falls again e to the competition for bifurcations, it is actually good for lightcoin. Therefore, if some readers hold a lot of bitcoin and do not want to sell it, You can consider hedging with long Leyte
from the perspective of information security, the bifurcation problem is likely to affect bitcoin's status as a ransom for blackmail virus. The author thinks that the virus accepting Wright coin and ether coin as ransom will be born soon
however, blockchain currencies are more or less troubled by processing speed, and the encryption algorithm is not easy to upgrade. In the long run, the risk is relatively high, and the signs of short-term price manipulation are relatively obvious. If the psychological enrance is not strong, just watch their running track
