The boss of virtual currency
this is also a distributed (decentralized) digital currency. Unlike the sha256 mining algorithm used by bitcoin, LTC adopts scrypt algorithm. Scrypt algorithm uses sha256 as its subroutine, and scrypt itself needs a lot of memory. Each hash is used as the seed of the input, and then it needs a lot of memory to store another pseudo-random sequence to generate the pseudo-random points of the sequence and output the hash value. In the mining of BTC (bitcoin), it is not enough to rely on simple graphics card mining (it takes about ten to dozens of days to dig a BTC with general configuration graphics card). The emergence of various expensive mining machines has raised the threshold for ordinary people to get BTC through mining, while LTC has certain advantages in using PC graphics card mining This passage comes from Zhihu.)
compared with BTC, litecain has made a little improvement in technology. If BTC is gold now, LTC is silver for the time being
the biggest advantage of litecoin is that it can confirm the authenticity faster. The virtual currency is designed and maintained by Charles Lee. Bitcoin transactions need to be verified, and the average verification time is more than 10 minutes. Most transaction websites need 1 hour to verify. The average transaction confirmation time of liteoin is 2.5 minutes. Developers claim that shortening the verification time increases the practicability of virtual currency. The bitcoin mining efficiency of customized machine and AMD GPU is the highest, making it almost unprofitable for miners using CPU mining. Litecain's mining excludes GPUs and custom processors, so it doesn't rely too much on a small number of professional miners
ppcoin
ppcoin (PPC) was released on August 19, 2012, which has improved the original technology of BTC. Use proof of make and add the concept of coin age
ppcoin is a bifurcated project of bitcoin, which aims to achieve energy efficiency and maintain the best performance of the original bitcoin as far as possible. The unit price of ppcoin is US $0.22 and the total currency value is US $4 million
ppcoin does not have a fixed upper limit of money supply, but it does not mean that ppcoin has obvious inflation compared with bitcoin. Bitcoin can be compared to gold. The annual inflation rate of gold is about 1-3%. Although gold has no known upper limit of money supply, we still know that it is a reliable scarce commodity
ppcoin has two types of casting: work certificate and equity certificate. The coinage rate of working proof is affected by Moore's law, which depends on the doubling of our working proof ability. What we all know is that Moore's law will eventually come to an end. By then, the ppcoin of inflation may be close to the gold level. The annual maximum inflation rate of certificate of equity is 1%. At the same time, ppcoin's transaction costs were destroyed to fight inflation. So on the whole, the coin design of ppcoin is still a very low inflation design in the future, which can be comparable with bitcoin<
ppcoin's reward is similar to lottery, which will determine the winning probability according to the number of ppcoin held by miners. Sunny king, one of the founders, said that their design is based on a new concept of long-term energy efficiency
terracoin
terracoin (TRC) was released on October 26, 2012, with a total currency of 42 million. The speed of each block is 2 minutes, slightly faster than LTC. There is not much special in technology, similar to the proction of BTC halved every four years
however, the operation team seems to have a strong business background and may be better than other bitcoins in circulation. The development of virtual currency is getting more and more attention. Now some teams with business background will accelerate the development of virtual currency
namecoin
namecoin is a distributed domain name system based on bitcoin technology. Its principle is the same as bitcoin. The first release date of this open source software is April 18, 2011
namecoin is generated from an original block which is different from bitcoin's main trading block. It uses a new blockchain, which is independent of bitcoin's blockchain. Because it is based on bitcoin, the security, distribution, robustness, encryption and migration of domain names are guaranteed mathematically. You can dig bitcoin and namecoin at the same time
this project was discussed and proposed by bitdns, which is mainly dissatisfied with the defects of DNS. The only top-level domain name of namecoin is. Bit. It costs namecoin to register a. Bit domain name
in addition, Q currency, Shanda currency, starting point currency and various online game currencies are also virtual currencies.
Cheng tycoons use virtual currency to launder money, which is illegal fund-raising. Let's first understand the definition of illegal fund-raising on the Internet. Illegal fund-raising is a kind of criminal activity. It means that an entity or indivial raises funds from the public by issuing stocks, bonds, lottery tickets, investment funds, securities or other debt certificates without the approval of relevant departments in accordance with legal proceres, And promise to repay the principal and interest or give return to the investor in money and other ways within a certain period of time. And in China, it is clearly stipulated that investment in virtual currency is illegal, and the circulation and transaction of virtual currency is explicitly prohibited{ RRRRR}
I think that as an ordinary person, you should not think about how to become a big man in the currency circle, let alone invest in bitcoin, because it is a very risky thing, and there is no need to put yourself into financial risk because of such things
many people will envy the soaring price of bitcoin. They think that if they had bought bitcoin, they would be multimillionaires now, but there is no if in life, let alone the so-called regret medicine. We can't think about the future price of bitcoin because the current price of bitcoin is very high. This is a very immature investment concept
bitcoin has benefited 100 times from its down payment investment
this news makes many people feel particularly excited. Many people think that if they had bought bitcoin, they would have become multimillionaires now. But I think this idea is very naive. In other words, very few people can have such achievements, and you can't see more miserable people, They failed to invest in bitcoin and led to financial crisis, which you should also consider at this time{ RRRRR}
the first kind is the big guy who pretends to be confused. They boast about the greatness of virtual currency, in fact, just to sell their own coins, and then make their wealth more and more. This is the same reason that Mimeng's articles incite emotions. It's just to let people read more of her articles to sell advertisements. As for whether it is true or not, who cares
the second kind of people is the media outside the circle. In fact, they don't know anything. The purpose of their blowing together is to bring traffic. It's all for sale. It's just different. They follow together to brag, will have more traffic attention, advertising can be more valuable. If the business is not good, change the vest and continue. That's what we media and finance are doing now. True or false is not so important, the important thing is to bring them income, which is enough
the third kind of person is the leek of coin circle. In fact, they don't have the ability to think independently. They are superstitious in aura. They watch the big guys and the media blow, and then they really believe in it. They also blow,,,, and then they are the ones who take over. It is commonly known as "no brain blowing, no brain blowing". It lacks the ability of independent thinking, and does not carefully analyze things. It is respect to blow first and respect to blow first. Blind, therefore, only then dish's life.
The blockchain escorted by history and philosophy has not subverted other instries, but its habitat has been subverted first
the standard bearers in the coin circle have already "transferred" to foreign countries, such as Zhao CHANGPENG, the founder of coin an, He Yi, Xue Manzi and Bao Erye
The best destination is Japan. At the same time, a news that dozens of people in the coin circle have been controlled by the frontier began to spread among people in the circle The next resident in Japan is Zhao CHANGPENG, founder of coin an, Xue Manzi, who also visited his officeIn the age of network information, the speed of "making rich" in China is very fast. In just 20 years, Alibaba, Tencent, Jingdong and other Internet enterprises have given birth to dozens or even hundreds of billionaires. However, this kind of "making rich" is not a real myth. I believe most people have heard of bitcoin. As far as I know, at the beginning of the release of bitcoin in 2009, one dollar was equivalent to 1300 bitcoins, which is a very cheap virtual currency
entrepreneurs like Li Xiaolai, who make money and do not forget to repay the society and set up ecation, are indeed worthy of respect. And his success is by no means accidental. If he doesn't have a smart mind, he can't grasp the opportunity to start a business and get rich, isn't he
the development of this kind of digital currency depends on the quantity. There are more than 30 million digital currencies. Dogcoin is a typical example. Although dogcoin is the digital currency with the second largest number of users in the world after bitcoin, its recent development momentum is not optimistic. The total number of thousand gold cards is only 3 million, but the development momentum is good.
