LTC difficulty

1. Lightcoin aims to improve bitcoin. Compared with bitcoin, lightcoin has three advantages:
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.

2. The birth of lightcoin can be traced back to 2011. At that time, shortly after bitcoin came out, some people found that bitcoin code could proce another digital currency with a little modification.

3. Brief introction: a kind of currency based on bitcoin protocol, but it does not require extremely high computing power. It can also be mined by ordinary computer. Lightcoin's algorithm comes from the algorithm designed by Dr colinpercival for tarsnap secure online backup service (backup for Linux and other open source operating systems)< Br > release time: lightcoin was released on October 7, 2011 through the open source client on GitHub< Br > maximum supply: 84 million LTC < br > total circulation: 55152208ltc < br > market value: $8882916638

4. On October 7, 2011, a network organization announced the release of a new P2P virtual currency, called lightcoin (LTC)

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.

5. Compared with bitcoin mining, lightcoin mining is relatively easy. Because the difficulty of mining is relatively low. But at present, lightcoin mining has graally entered the era of ASIC miner competition. The computing power is constantly rising, and the computing power of large mines is approaching 51%. If you want to carry out lightcoin mining, you must buy professional ASIC lightcoin miner. However, the price of lightcoin miner is generally too high, and there will be more ASIC lightcoin miner with high computing power in the future, Computing power is not constantly pushing up. This is the same as the era of bitcoin ASIC miner last year. Last year, Avalon miner was born, which completely subverted the bitcoin mining instry. With the help of roast cat, the computing power suddenly increased, and the graphics card mining completely went out of people's sight. Although there are many bitcoin ASIC mining machines, Avalon mining machine has always been unique and constantly launched its own new procts.

6. LTC has a wide range of applications, and many commodities support BTC and LTC payment. For example, Epay is the key. You think the risk of BTC is great. If you are optimistic about BTC, LTC is real silver, which is more reliable than any other counterfeit money
personally, I am optimistic about BTC, so I don't think LTC has any risks. If you want to die together, he'll be fine and the other one will be fine.

7. It means calculation force
in the long run, the difficulty is increasing and constantly changing, so how much can be g is not stable.

8. Litecoin is a kind of network currency based on peer-to-peer technology. Litteoin was inspired by bitcoin (BTC) and contributed by bitewang
