Lightcoin's latest isolation certification
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
isolation witness is a method of blockchain expansion, which has been successfully implemented on lightcoin and bitcoin
at present, each block in the blockchain not only records the specific information of each transfer transaction, that is, at which time point the account receives or transfers out how many bitcoins, but also contains the digital signature of each transaction, which is used to verify the legitimacy of the transaction. The miner needs to verify each transaction one by one with digital signature when packing the block. After confirming that there is no problem, the transaction will be recorded in the block
however, for ordinary users, they only care about the number of assets in each account, and do not need to verify each transaction one by one. Isolation witness is to take out the digital signature information in the block, so that each block can carry more transactions, so as to achieve the purpose of expansion.
however, if these virtual coins are used illegally, they may bring serious consequences to themselves.
in 2016, the community held a meeting in Hong Kong on capacity expansion. At the meeting, China's absenteeism and bitcoin core reached a consensus and proposed a compromise scheme, namely hard fork and isolation certification. This is the result of compromise between the two sides, but later the core went back on its words and forced absenteeism to accept the isolation scheme, but did not expand the capacity. China mostly opposes the exclusion of isolation verification.
