What else does digital currency have besides mining

1. The price of newly issued digital currency is generally very low, a few cents or even a few percent. It's easy for you to buy it directly when you dig. And now bitcoin can dig because its encryption algorithm is public. You can't dig all kinds of digital currency without public algorithm.

2. For many people, the concept of digital currency is a mystery. But there is no doubt that digital currency is different from virtual currency

virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. This kind of virtual currency is mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency

in 2013, the central bank, together with five ministries and commissions, issued the notice on preventing the risk of bitcoin, which clearly defined non legal digital currencies such as bitcoin as virtual commodities, not in the form of currency and legal currency< At the same time, digital currency is different from electronic payment. In the actual use experience, digital money and electronic payment may feel similar, but they are still quite different in essence. Before digital currency, the financial instry has been highly informationized. Such as Internet banking, WeChat, Alipay and so on pay the popularization of electronic technology, physical cash accounts for only a very small part of the total circulation of money. In spite of this, because the money used in the transaction comes from the bank account, it actually corresponds to the banknotes.

1. Q coin

Q coin, referred to as QB, also known as QQ coin, Tencent Q coin, etc. Usually its exchange rate is 1q currency = 1 RMB, with Tencent paipai net transactions are generally 10% off

QB is a virtual currency launched by Tencent, which can be used to pay for QQ bank number, QQ member service and other services. Tencent q-coin, through the purchase of QQ card, telephone recharge, bank card recharge, network recharge, mobile phone recharge card, one card recharge card and other ways to obtain

The face value of QQ card is 10 yuan, 15 yuan, 30 yuan, 60 yuan, 100 yuan and 200 yuan respectively

there is another kind of electronic cryptocurrency, qqcoin, which is not related to each other

2. Litecoin

litecoin, abbreviated as LTC, currency symbol: Ł; 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

3, infinite coin

infinite coin (hereinafter referred to as IFC) is a new digital currency, which has more circulation advantages than bitcoin, and fills the short board of bitcoin in the field of commercial circulation and promoting commercial operation. The positioning of unlimited money is to serve the daily life of small transaction payment

one transaction of infinite coin needs three confirmations, each confirmation takes three seconds, and the transaction confirmation speed is very fast. Because bitcoin transaction needs 6 confirmations, which takes about 1 hour, and lightcoin transaction takes 15 minutes, infinite coin is used in daily common transactions, which is more practical

infinite coin was released on June 5, 2013. Based on scrypt POW algorithm. A block is generated in 30 seconds. In the initial block, there are 524288 infinite coins in each block. After that, for every 86400 blocks generated, the number of coins in the block is halved, with a total of 90.6 billion. The difficulty of mining is adjusted every hour

Quark coin is not the currency in real life, it exists safely in the computer of global network

quark network is protected by six most advanced encryption algorithms to ensure that it can become a digital ledger. The whole network uses each of the six functions to generate a proof of work, and the coin maker must "verify" these transactions to ensure that each coin increase is real and effective

only regular computer can participate in ensuring that it can maintain a highly secure peer-to-peer network, which makes it more decentralized

quark coins can only be g up through the CPU of regular computers. In the first 36 weeks, a total of 247605120 quark coins will be g out. Since March 30, 2014, the annual quark coins set at 1050000 can enter the market through "digging", and the block reward will never be less than one, which is currently two

Zetacoin is an open-source digital currency based on SHA-256 algorithm. The initial coin mining is 160 million coins, and the subsequent annual inflation is a better incentive, To keep the hash of the network is not pure transaction cost

The total number of

zetacoin is 160 million, 1000 zets per block and half of 80640 zets per block

4. Bitcoin, of course, is the hottest one. In addition to bitcoin, there are also:
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.

5. BNB, ecell and LTC are my favorite. I suggest that you buy them separately and share the risks equally. Don't put the eggs in the same basket.

6. Digital currency is easy to go in and easy to come out, but it's hard to be careful.

7. There are hundreds of digital currencies on the market. Apart from bitcoin and Ethereum you mentioned, there are also Leyte, ecell, reborn and TEDA coins with good reputation.
