The total value of lightcoin is 5 billion US dollars
According to the current difficulty calculation, we can dig about 1.012 Laite coins a day. This is the average calculation result in the mine pool. If there is an efficient mine pool or solo, maybe more
litecoin (abbreviated as 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
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
design purpose
it is based on bitcoin protocol, but it is different from bitcoin in that 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

transactions
a peer-to-peer network similar to bitcoin handles lightcoin transactions, balances, and issues through a script workload proof scheme (when a sufficiently small hash value is found, the, A block will be created, and the lightcoin will be issued. The process of discovering the hash value and creating the block is called "mining"). The issuing rate of Leyte coins is reced by half every four years (every 840000 pieces) according to the proportional sequence, and finally the total number of LTCs is 84 million. Unlike bitcoin, the memory intensive feature of script makes it more suitable for "mining" with graphics processor (GPU). FPGA (field programmable gate array) and ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) implemented for script are more expensive than sha256 used for bitcoin
currently, lightcoin can exchange legal tender and bitcoin, most of which are through online trading platforms. Revocable transactions (such as credit card transactions) are generally not used to purchase Leyte, because Leyte transactions are irreversible, which brings the risk of refund. As of April 25, 2013, a Leyte is worth about $3.97 or 0.028 bitcoin. This makes Leyte the second largest electronic currency with a market value of about $35 million

litecain is a free software project released under MIT / X11 license, which allows you to run, modify and the software according to your own needs. You can also release a modified version of the software if you like
the software is released in a completely transparent form, and users can independently verify the binary version and the corresponding source code
mine pool
the lightcoin is generated by "miner's mining". Mining is done by hashing with computer graphics card. If the value of "mine burst" is calculated, the system will reward 50 lightcoins at one time. At present, the computing power of lightcoin is growing rapidly, and the miner can't find the mine through several computers. Therefore, it is necessary to join the mine pool, which collects all the computing power, It is estimated that the probability of calculating the "blasting" value is higher
at present, the well-known mine pools include BTCC (original bitcoin China) mine pool, waltc.net fish pool (f2pool), wemineltc, coinotron, silverfish, liteguardian, litecoin pool.org, etc. But at present, the highest income is f2pool. Recently, it launched lightcoin theory income + 10% of mine pool subsidy = your actual income, which has attracted the attention of many miners and the instry

data block chain
litecoin block chain, compared with its competitor bitcoin, can handle larger transaction volume. Due to the more frequent generation of data blocks, the network can support more transactions without modifying the software in the future
as a result, businesses can obtain faster transaction confirmation, and they can still wait for more transaction confirmation when they sell large value procts
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.

but it should be noted that there are a large number of virtual coins controlled and issued by fraud companies on the Internet, which are claimed to be imitators and improvers of bitcoin, but are actually pyramid selling or Ponzi schemes (e.g. treasure coin, Vicat coin, Morgan coin, etc.), or are highly controlled by the makers (e.g. shark coin Husk coins, etc.)
the biggest difference between these swindlers' coins and bitcoin is that bitcoin does not belong to any person or organization, but is an uncontrolled and decentralized currency. And these swindler coins have clear issuers and are completely controlled by the issuers. Although swindler coin is also called "coin", it is totally different from bitcoin. Unlike bitcoin, which is open code, most cheaters don't open code, or even have no code at all. It's just a number on the website, and the issuers can change as much as they want
swindler coins are often promoted by people who make great efforts to post, and generally use the means of pulling people's heads up and down the line to absorb funds. The simplest way to judge is that if XX coin is issued by the so-called "powerful" XX company, it has broad prospects, and guarantees high investment / mining income, promises to rise and make money, and asks you to spend money to buy it, then it is 100% fraud coin.
1. Direct buying and selling, relying on the market and price difference to earn income, has greater risk and consumes more time and energy
2. To become a miner, you can get the Laite coin at the cost price, and then sell it in the market. But now the cost of the miner is too high, and there is a lot of investment in the early stage
3. The income of Laite coin will be less than the first two, but it is better than stability and safety. It means the same as the bank's Fund. At present, the popular financial supermarket on the market are AEX, coin an Bao and OK Yu coin Bao. The financial supermarket on AEX has the debt transfer function that other platforms don't have, and they invest on it, Your money is more flexible
indivials are inclined to the third.

Due to the more frequent generation of data blocks, the network can support more transactions without modifying the software in the future. Therefore, businesses can get faster transaction confirmation, and they can still wait for more transaction confirmation when they sell large amount of goods< In fact, digital virtual currency is far from the above. Forbes magazine listed the top 30 virtual currencies in the market by their total market value and price as of 10:00 a.m. local time on the 27th. Caijing.com and venture capital Post said that there are at least 60 kinds of virtual currencies currently traded According to the Forbes report, bitcoin ranked first in market value and unit price. It was the lightcoin designed by Li Qiwei, a former Google programmer, that won "erlianya". In the past week up to the 27th, the price of lightcoin rose rapidly from $6 to $26, a considerable increase. The third to fifth place in the total market value are spot money, nominal money and prime money. The report counted the 24-hour gains as of the 27th. Almost all of the 30 currencies rose, with the biggest increase of the quark currency, reaching 278.55%. The report also said that almost all virtual currencies have taken a ride in the current round of bitcoin's rise, but most of them have poor business, with 8 companies with a total market value of less than $1 million and 19 companies with a unit price of less than $1
