What are encrypted digital currencies
Differences:
non encrypted currency (enterprise currency):
1, personal behavior
2, company's own currency
3, unable to decentralize
4, unable to trade on international trading platform
5, unlimited issuance
6, no mine website, no original code
7, controllable price, mostly one-way relationship (dining ticket of an enterprise, Qmoney and so on)
open source digital cryptocurrency:
1. Decentralization -- not regulated by indivials, companies and national banks
2. Limited issue
3. Free trade on international trading platform
4. Original code
5. Not taxed, not frozen, uncontrollable price
cryptocurrency advantages:
1. Compared with paper money, Save the cost of printing, data audit, anti-counterfeiting, escort circulation, safe keeping and so on
2. It is impossible to control the number of issues without issuing institutions
3. Borderless. If you use cryptocurrency transaction, directly enter the account address, click the mouse, wait for the network to confirm the transaction, a lot of money will pass
4. Using cryptocurrency in any store can save the cost of tax and capital supervision
5. It is not controlled by the central bank and the quantity is limited, so it can completely resist the pressure of inflation. Let the wealth of the common people keep its value and increase its value The cryptocurrency other than bitcoin is also known as counterfeit currency and competitive currency (English: altcoin). Part of it is a virtual currency similar to bitcoin, which is based on the ideas, principles and source code of bitcoin. At present, more than 800 cryptocurrencies are in circulation
because bitcoin itself does not have an authoritative issuing institution and state power to maintain its authority and uniqueness, bitcoin and its imitators can only get along equally. It is not absolutely exclusive
Digital cryptocurrency is a kind of currency that is not issued by legal tender institutions and controlled by the central bank. It is based on the open source code of a group of equations calculated by computers all over the world, and is generated by a large number of calculation processing of computer graphics card and CPU. It uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation

definition of digital currency:
digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English and the alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy< br />
1. Litecoin is similar to bitcoin, which is also an encrypted digital currency, and its price has risen sharply recently. It is a P2P open source digital currency, which can be regarded as a branch of bitcoin. However, although lightcoin is based on bitcoin protocol, it does not require very high computing power. It can also be mined using ordinary computers. Lightcoin's algorithm comes from the algorithm designed by Dr Colin Percival for tarsnap secure online backup service (backup for Linux and other open source operating systems)
2. Namecoin
namecoin is also based on bitcoin, which is another branch of open source. Namecoin is a distributed DNS protocol -- generally speaking, it can transform the website name (such as ifeng. Com) that can be understood by human into the address that can be understood by machine. As its own DNS, this kind of currency can operate outside the normal Internet, so it can break away from the control of ICANN
the monetary value and domain name of namecoin are stored in the user's blockchain records, limiting the total number to 21 million
3. Peercoin
peercoin is a peer-to-peer variant of bitcoin, which can improve mining efficiency and security, and improve safeguard measures to avoid group mining. Now, group mining has been considered as a potential defect of bitcoin. According to the statistics of emerging currencies by coinmarketcap.com, peercoin currently ranks fourth in the market value of digital currencies
4. Primecoin
primecoin is a cryptocurrency similar to bitcoin, but it uses a completely independent mining algorithm. Bitcoin uses the hashcash algorithm, while prime coin uses the long Cunningham chains to create the value of money - a sequence of prime numbers named after mathematician AJC Cunningham
in the process of bitcoin mining, as the amount of money goes on, the difficulty will increase sharply. But prime is different. Every time a primecoin is mined, the mining difficulty will increase slightly, and the process is much more stable< 5. Feathercoin
based on the design of litecoin, released in April 2013, can adjust the mining difficulty more frequently than litecoin. Feathercoin will be updated frequently, adding new features and improvements to eliminate malicious mining behavior
6. Novacoin
another P2P digital cryptocurrency. Novacoin is different from most other currencies in that it integrates a protection mechanism in the currency core, which can identify illegal mining activities
the total number of novacoin is limited to 2 billion, which is considerable. If necessary, the total can be adjusted upward
7, infinitech
published in June 2013. A by-proct of litecain. According to the mining situation and the total amount of money, infinite money can frequently adjust the mining difficulty ratio< Megacoin was only released in the fourth quarter of 2013, imitating bitcoin in the early stage. The total number of megacoin is limited to 42 million, which can be mined like other virtual currencies. Its biggest selling point is brand publicity, which other digital currencies lack< It was released in 2013 and is still in its infancy. In the security part of quarkcoin, nine independent loops are deployed and six different algorithms are used.
1. Secure
transaction of cryptocurrency on the decentralized platform of blockchain, the E-wallet used by it is authorized to send and receive cryptocurrency by the cryptosystem using the unique public key and private key. And the account does not need to be identified by a third party, so outsiders can not know the identity of the trader
2. Tamper proof
after the transaction on the blockchain is confirmed, it is tamper proof, and this kind of data is traceable, so the illegal elements can't cheat by deleting or modifying the records
you can learn about cryptocurrency through some media platforms, so I won't go into details here.
