It's getting more and more difficult
According to the current difficulty calculation, we can dig about 1.012 Laite coins a day. This is the average calculation result in the mine pool. If there is an efficient mine pool or solo, maybe more
litecoin (abbreviated as 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
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
design purpose
it is based on bitcoin protocol, but it is different from bitcoin in that even at the present stage, it can efficiently "mine" through consumer hardware. Liteoin provides you with faster transaction confirmation (2.5 minutes on average). It uses hard memory and mining workload proof algorithm based on scrypt (an encryption algorithm). It is oriented to ordinary computer and graphics processor (GPU) used by most people. The litecain network is expected to proce 84 million currency units
one of the design purposes of litecoin is to provide a mining algorithm, which can be run simultaneously on the bitcoin mining machine. With the rise of application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) designed for bitcoin mining, litecoin is also closely following the technological evolution. But before the widespread use of litecoin currency, it is unlikely that there will be an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) specially designed for litecoin

transactions
a peer-to-peer network similar to bitcoin handles lightcoin transactions, balances, and issues through a script workload proof scheme (when a sufficiently small hash value is found, the, A block will be created, and the lightcoin will be issued. The process of discovering the hash value and creating the block is called "mining"). The issuing rate of Leyte coins is reced by half every four years (every 840000 pieces) according to the proportional sequence, and finally the total number of LTCs is 84 million. Unlike bitcoin, the memory intensive feature of script makes it more suitable for "mining" with graphics processor (GPU). FPGA (field programmable gate array) and ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) implemented for script are more expensive than sha256 used for bitcoin
currently, lightcoin can exchange legal tender and bitcoin, most of which are through online trading platforms. Revocable transactions (such as credit card transactions) are generally not used to purchase Leyte, because Leyte transactions are irreversible, which brings the risk of refund. As of April 25, 2013, a Leyte is worth about $3.97 or 0.028 bitcoin. This makes Leyte the second largest electronic currency with a market value of about $35 million

litecain is a free software project released under MIT / X11 license, which allows you to run, modify and the software according to your own needs. You can also release a modified version of the software if you like
the software is released in a completely transparent form, and users can independently verify the binary version and the corresponding source code
mine pool
the lightcoin is generated by "miner's mining". Mining is done by hashing with computer graphics card. If the value of "mine burst" is calculated, the system will reward 50 lightcoins at one time. At present, the computing power of lightcoin is growing rapidly, and the miner can't find the mine through several computers. Therefore, it is necessary to join the mine pool, which collects all the computing power, It is estimated that the probability of calculating the "blasting" value is higher
at present, the well-known mine pools include BTCC (original bitcoin China) mine pool, waltc.net fish pool (f2pool), wemineltc, coinotron, silverfish, liteguardian, litecoin pool.org, etc. But at present, the highest income is f2pool. Recently, it launched lightcoin theory income + 10% of mine pool subsidy = your actual income, which has attracted the attention of many miners and the instry

data block chain
litecoin block chain, compared with its competitor bitcoin, can handle larger transaction volume. Due to the more frequent generation of data blocks, the network can support more transactions without modifying the software in the future
as a result, businesses can obtain faster transaction confirmation, and they can still wait for more transaction confirmation when they sell large value procts
was released on October 7, 2011. It is currently the highest market value counterfeit coin, about 1% of BTC's market value, or US $1000W. Compared with BTC, LTC is faster, with an average of 2.5 minutes and 6 confirmations per block in 15 minutes. In addition, the number of LTCs is four times that of BTCs, with a total of 8400w. At present, LTC uses scrypt algorithm, which needs a lot of memory support. The professional mining machine on the market can not be used for LTC mining, only the graphics card
what is the difference between lightcoin and bitcoin
1. Transaction: easier to use, larger volume and greater appreciation potential. The block confirmation time is shorter, which is four times faster than bitcoin. For example, pizza owners are more willing to accept LTC payment to save transaction time< Mining:
special algorithm creates the unique charm of LTC, which is also the key to stand out from Shanzhai coins. Scrypt algorithm uses sha256 as its subroutine, and scrypt itself needs a lot of memory, each hash is used as the input seed, and then needs a lot of memory to store another seed pseudo-random sequence, Generate pseudo-random points of sequence and output hash value. The key is that scrypt algorithm needs a lot of memory while sha256 algorithm does not. So in this era when BTC mining of graphics card is coming to an end, LTC mining is about to usher in a golden period of development. Because of the high cost of memory, any ASIC or FPGA has no advantage over graphics card mining. LTC has advantages, at least in the foreseeable future
3. The biggest threat of bitcoin is 51% attack:
some shanzhais are killed by 51% attack. To be honest, LTC is a worry for the development of LTC and BTC, of course. However, the specific problems they face are different: BTC can avoid 51% attack through technology upgrading (such as end block reconstruction, careful node upgrading, and calculation difficulty), However, there is no way to evade LTC technology. However, e to the scattered computing power of graphics card mining and the increasing difficulty, this problem needs to be paid attention to, but don't worry too much. With the use of ASIC in BTC, the risk of 51% attack is increasing. I hope BTC development team can solve this problem as soon as possible.
It is not recommended to invest in lightcoin. Now lightcoin is generally not optimistic in the instry. Although lightcoin is known as the test proct of bitcoin, it fails. No innovation. Once claimed not to adapt to ASIC mining machine, but finally became a joke. Li Feng, the ancestor of Laite coin ASIC mining machine, said frankly that no currency is not suitable for ASIC mining machine. Since the announcement of the central bank in 2013, like bitcoin, lightcoin has been in a long-term downturn< br />
however, once it reaches the bottom of the market, it will start to warm up. Don't forget, last year was a big bull market after LTC / BTC fell below 1%
will LTC return to zero
I don't think so. I'm not saying that LTC will not fall any more. I'm just saying that if BTC has a bull market in the future, LTC will certainly have a bull market. The essence of LTC's current decline is that the niche coincides with BTC, which has no characteristics and application. The myth that scrypt algorithm can resist mining machine has been shattered
but what about other counterfeit coins
e to the strategy of fast halving, the computing power of dog coin is far from enough to compete with LTC. In theory, other algorithms such as X11 and x13, which are known to be able to resist mining machines, will be cracked sooner or later. In fact, coins such as mark and black, which are characterized by anonymity, are not very competitive. Anonymity is just a small demand, Can you imagine that money will be completely anonymous in the future? Anonymity is always just a small demand
I saw a "dark forest theory of cryptography currency" before, and I really forgot who put forward it in the circle. What I said was that under the premise of mining machinery, the currency of sha256 algorithm is easy to be killed by Avalon, so it doesn't grow very long; Now scrypt algorithm mining machine comes out, who is the master of this algorithm field? It can only be LTC. After a lot of currencies fall to a certain extent, they are in danger without the support of computing power. They speed up the capital flight, then speed up the escape of computing power, and enter the dead cycle. It's very difficult to get out and finally die slowly
dog coin is now in such a cycle. Coupled with the fact that it has been halved too fast, the escape of computing power is more obvious. Without computing power, the pow coin is a joke. The system is weak, and the big money can only go out, but the price has been falling, so can computing power. In addition, dog is just a fad culture, just like Jiangnan style, Who else is singing in the street now? Therefore, the prospect of dog coin is very bad. The dog coin is like this, and other scrypt coins are not worth mentioning. It seems that LTC dominates scrypt algorithm
BTC applications are colorful and LTC applications are scarce, which can't be compared. However, other currencies don't seem to have any applications either. All kinds of second-generation coins are too busy to worry about. Therefore, it's not a problem. When BTC rises sharply, it's expected that LTC will rise more than BTC
of course, I'm not encouraging you to buy the bottom. I haven't entered the LTC since 60

has no real value, and the state does not recognize that it depends on speculation. In the end, it's nothing
1. The number of cryptocurrencies of mining type is limited. For example, the total amount of bitcoin is only 21 million (only about 4 million), and the total amount of Leyte is only 84 million (only about 20 million)
2. The difficulty of mining cryptocurrency is increased and the reward is halved. Mining is becoming more and more difficult, and the reward for digging money is also halved. For example, bitcoin design is to halve the mining reward every four years, and lightcoin mining reward will be halved soon
3. Mining costs are getting higher and higher. Mining needs to buy Mining machinery and electricity, low-cost electricity is difficult to find
