Lightcoin online B network
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
According to the domestic bitcoin, lightcoin trading platform bitcoin China and fire coin network quotation: at present, the price of lightcoin is about 58 yuan
recently, e to the FBI auction of bitcoin and the rumor that the Bank of communications will thoroughly investigate the account number of bitcoin trading platform and the impact of bitcoin core developers' outcry for stagnation in the development of bitcoin basic protocol, the prices of bitcoin and lightcoin have dropped. Among them, the price of lightcoin has not been affected by the rising price of bitcoin. The price is moderate and keeps growing slowly. When the price of bitcoin falls, lightcoin still falls

design purpose
based on bitcoin protocol, but different from bitcoin, even at the present stage, it can efficiently "mine" through consumer hardware. Liteoin provides you with faster transaction confirmation (2.5 minutes on average). It uses hard memory and mining workload proof algorithm based on scrypt (an encryption algorithm). It is oriented to ordinary computer and graphics processor (GPU) used by most people. The litecain network is expected to proce 84 million currency units
one of the design purposes of litecoin is to provide a mining algorithm, which can be run simultaneously on the bitcoin mining machine. With the rise of application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) designed for bitcoin mining, litecoin is also closely following the technological evolution. But before the widespread use of litecoin currency, it is unlikely that there will be an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) specially designed for litecoin
They are:
bitcoin
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, the open source software was designed and released, and the P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
bitcoin cash
bitcoin cash is a new version of bitcoin with different configurations launched by a small number of bitcoin developers

virtual currency refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currency, such as network company's network currency, Tencent company's Q currency, Q point, Shanda company's voucher, Sina's Micro currency (used for micro games, Sina reading, etc.), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), silver pattern (used for bixue Qingtian game)
the popular digital currencies in 2013 are bitcoin, Leyte coin, infinite coin, quark coin, zeta coin, BBQ coin, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bar, red coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. Popular in the circle & quot; The legend of "bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper, pennies aluminum"
2. 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.
bitcoin, lightcoin and other virtual cryptocurrencies are defined by the central bank as a kind of special Internet goods in China. Citizens can buy and sell freely at their own risk, which denies their monetary attribute. Central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan once said that bitcoin is more like a tradable asset, similar to stamps. Since it's a commodity or asset, it's legal. Citizens' property is sacred and inviolable. Bitcoin house also published the full text of the joint notice on bitcoin risk issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions in 2013. You can see it from the emotional point of view
most of the major countries in the world also adopt a cold attitude towards bitcoin, because bitcoin may be used for money laundering, drug trading and other illegal activities.
