The development of Leyte coin

1.

Litecoin (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< better use of digital currency trading platform coin exchange

data expansion:

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

2. Litecoin (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< What's the difference between lightcoin and bitcoin:
1. Transaction:
it's easier to use, larger in volume and greater in 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.

bitcoin is an e-money payment system based on the global network
bitcoin is an e-money system based on the global decentralized network system, without the participation of central banks and third-party institutions, with a fixed total amount. Bitcoin has the characteristics of payment system and currency at the same time. Global network nodes are maintaining the bitcoin network all day<

English: bitcoin currency symbol: abbreviation: BTC or XBT

Introction to bitcoin by wiki
different from traditional currency, bitcoin's operation mechanism does not rely on the support or credit guarantee of central bank, government and enterprise, but on the network agreement reached with seed files in the network, which is a decentralized and self-improvement monetary system, Theoretically, it ensures that no one, institution or government can control the total amount of bitcoin or create inflation. Its total amount of money graally increased at the designed rate, and the increase rate graally slowed down, and finally reached the limit of 21 million in 2140<

Introction to bitcoin in network
bitcoin is based on a set of cipher codes and generated by complex algorithms. This rule is not interfered by any indivial or organization and is decentralized; Anyone can download and run the bitcoin client to participate in the proction of bitcoin; Bitcoin uses electronic signature to realize circulation, and checks repeated consumption through P2P distributed network. The generation and consumption of each bitcoin will be recorded through the P2P distributed network and informed to the whole network. There is no possibility of forgery. Bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue, it is generated through a large number of calculations of specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction<

the difference between bitcoin and bitcoin
it should be noted that

in English, the words bitcoin and bitcoin represent two concepts of payment network and monetary unit

bitcoin starting with capital B represents bitcoin network system or bitcoin network protocol, which is a payment system based on decentralized network

you can simply understand bitcoin as a public accounting system built on the Internet and not manipulated by any third party. Bitcoin, which starts with lowercase B, refers to the digital currency (e-money, e-cash, cryptocurrency) built on bitcoin network. Bitcoin is the payment accounting unit built in bitcoin payment system. We call bitcoin the network system that proces bitcoin<

in Chinese, bitcoin and bitcoin are both called bitcoin without distinction in many places

its main features are as follows:
1. Decentralization

bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom< Bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

3. Exclusive ownership

private key is required to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself

4. Low transaction cost

bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, a small transaction fee will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution

5. No hidden cost

as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay<

6. Bitcoin is not completely anonymous

it will take some time to protect privacy when using bitcoin. All bitcoin transactions are publicly and permanently stored in the network, which means that anyone can view the balance and transaction records in any bitcoin address. Unless the bitcoin holder discloses personal information ring the transaction, the bitcoin address will not be associated with the real identity of the bitcoin holder. This is why it is recommended that bitcoin holders use multiple bitcoin addresses; In fact, you should create a new address each time to receive bitcoin. This is especially important when using bitcoin in public places, such as on websites. In addition, you can also consider using tools like tor to hide your IP address from being recorded.

7. Bitcoin is still experimental

bitcoin is an experimental new currency in active development. Although its experimentality is diminishing with its increasing usage, remember that bitcoin is a new invention, exploring ideas that have never been tried before, so no one can predict the future of bitcoin.

4. Up to 380. In December 2013. The strongest rebound in 2014 was from 40 to 188

PayPal, the world's largest online payment platform, announced that it will cooperate with three bitcoin payment service providers to test bitcoin payment, but the payment service is only limited to virtual proct transactions, and users can only use bitcoin to buy e-books, electronic music, electronic games, electronic music, electronic games, etc And mobile phone ringtones
bitcoin is a new type of virtual currency, which is generated by a large number of calculations based on special algorithms. According to rigorous calculations, the stock of bitcoin is limited, with a total of 21 million, no more or less. After being created, bitcoin has rapidly become a "fixed asset" pursued by Internet speculators
in February 2014, mtgox, the world's largest trading platform, went bankrupt, casting a shadow on the whole bitcoin instry. Since the middle of 2014, the price of bitcoin has been in a downward trend for a long time
on August 12, 2015, the price of a bitcoin was only close to 1700 RMB
on the afternoon of February 8, 017, the inspection team of the business management department of the people's Bank of China interviewed the main principals of nine bitcoin trading platforms in Beijing, including "China bitcoin", "bitcoin trading network", "bitcoin", "yuncoin", "Yuanbao", "btc100", "jucoin", "coin shell" and "dahonghuo", which are engaged in bitcoin trading, Report the current problems of bitcoin trading platform, prompt the possible legal risk, policy risk and technical risk of the trading platform, understand the operation of the nine trading platforms, and put forward clear requirements: it is not allowed to engage in financial business such as financing currency, participate in money laundering activities, and violate the relevant national anti money laundering and anti money laundering regulations Foreign exchange management, payment and settlement and other financial laws and regulations shall not violate the state tax and instrial and commercial advertising management laws and regulations. If any bitcoin trading platform is found to have violated the above requirements and the circumstances are serious, the inspection team will request the relevant departments to shut down and ban it according to law

6. At present, one view of lightcoin is that it will eventually survive and become an auxiliary currency other than bitcoin. There is a famous slogan on the official website of lightcoin: "bitcoin is gold, lightcoin is silver." Another point of view demonstrates that Leyte coin and other counterfeit coins can not succeed from a logical point of view: if the counterfeit coin succeeds, there will be more counterfeit coins, and the proliferation of counterfeit coins will lead to the collapse of value, and people finally find that bitcoin is the best way to maintain its value; If Shanzhai coin is not successful, there will be no imitators, and the failed Shanzhai coin will eventually disappear. The author tends to think that cryptography currency will eventually become an important member of the world's mainstream currency, and bitcoin is not necessarily the only one, just like the coexistence of US dollar, euro, yen and RMB in real life. There will not be only one kind of cryptocurrency, but there will not be innumerable kinds in the world. In the end, only bitcoin and the other 2-3 counterfeit currencies will survive. In fact, the key to the survival of an open source currency is the public's confidence in it, which comes from its long-term and stable use. In the two years since the invention of Leyte coin, public confidence in it has been graally established. Whether this confidence can be maintained or not, there are still many unstable factors. One of them is that lightcoin is more vulnerable to 51% attacks than bitcoin. Previously, FTC (feather coin), which uses the same algorithm as Wright coin, has been attacked by 51% and led to the collapse of public confidence. In fact, FTC is graally withdrawing from the stage of history. Whether it can resist 51% attacks and survive is a problem that lightcoin must solve. As for whether Leyte can replace bitcoin, we should go a step further: is there a counterfeit coin that can eventually replace bitcoin? The answer is simple: No. In the future, there will probably be a variety of cryptography currencies in the world, but any kind of counterfeit currency can not replace the mainstream position of bitcoin, no matter how excellent its algorithm is compared with bitcoin. We have to admit that bitcoin is not perfect compared with many counterfeit currencies. Its confirmation time is as long as 10 minutes, which is really time-consuming for transactions; 51% attack the sword of Damocles, which is always hanging overhead; From the perspective of environmental protection, the energy consumed by mining is almost wasted. Therefore, many new counterfeit currencies claim that their advantage lies in making up for the defects of bitcoin. But some of the flaws in bitcoin itself are not real. In other words, these defects are deliberately preserved by its inventors after weighing the pros and cons. For example, the 51% attack is rooted in the distributed mining characteristics of bitcoin, a P2P currency. While ripple's XRP currency doesn't need to worry about 51% attacks, and it doesn't need to spend a lot of energy on mining. However, its mode of relying on trust gateway for transaction and centralized currency issuance means that it is very easy to be controlled by government agencies. In addition, even if the design of some counterfeit coins is more ingenious, we should also understand the fact that no matter how excellent the indicators of a proct are, it can not guarantee that it can beat its competitors and achieve success.

7. According to the current currency distribution,
the first is bitcoin,
the second is Leyte, and
the third is dogcoin

from the perspective of algorithm advanced,
the oldest is bitcoin graphics card algorithm.
then there are the CPU algorithms of Leyte coin and doggy coin
the latest popular algorithm is the X11 algorithm of the black coin, which is developing rapidly

from the perspective of currency adopted by big trading platforms
bitcoin China, okcoin, fire coin, coin deposit, bitcoin trading network, China bitcoin. Without exception, bitcoin and lettercoin are used

from the analysis of this situation, although bitcoin is old, it has a lot of platform and application support, and has advantages in the short term
the algorithms of Leyte coin and doggy coin are also relatively backward, and it is estimated that they will not last for a year
the development of new algorithmic currencies, such as black money, is a matter of time, but the application expansion is too little, and it will take a long time to really develop
but we are definitely not talking about dark currency. In fact, all currencies except bitcoin are improved on the basis of bitcoin source code, not reformed, so it is inevitable that they will be eliminated
we are looking forward to a new currency and a revolutionary currency!

8. Like bitcoin, lightcoin can only be traded on special virtual currency trading websites
at present, China does not use virtual currency as an official settlement tool. In other words, the domestic central bank does not recognize this kind of virtual currency, so please invest carefully

In fact, the recent wncry virus is not the first time that blackmail software has become powerful. Not long ago, Android system also appeared a blackmail software, mobile phone encryption after ransom. After the software was checked and killed, it soon made a comeback with an upgraded version. This new version of blackmail software infects files with a random key, and even attackers don't know how to unlock it. Even users pay ransom in vain

we can see that with the continuous development of IT technology, although there are many IT employees, the main employees are mainly concentrated in the fields of mobile platform, cloud and artificial intelligence, and the most popular programming language has graally evolved from C and C + + for underlying operation to managed Java or even go language for modeling. The field of information security is a technology that directly faces the bottom. Fewer and fewer people are engaged in the bottom programming, which means that the number of practitioners of information security is getting smaller and smaller. The direct consequence of this phenomenon is that the backward technology can attack the advanced technology in the network world, which is very similar to the invasion of advanced civilization by the backward barbarians in human society. The recent outbreak of wncry virus may come from North Korea, which also confirms this trend from the side. Some organizations and even countries are not qualified to engage in high-end technology, but the virus they write can spread all over the world. Blackmailer software has further expanded the scope of attack, such as online games, smart cars and wearable devices have a large number of leaks. Reviewing the history of such software can be roughly divided into the following stages

from the current situation, there is no sign of easing the bifurcations of bitcoin, but the emergence of bitcoin ETF and wncry virus has pushed the price of bitcoin to new highs. Personally, I think the short-term rate of bitcoin will probably exceed 20000 RMB. However, considering that there is not all the competition for bifurcations among varieties such as lightcoin, from the perspective of investment, if bitcoin falls again e to the competition for bifurcations, it is actually good for lightcoin. Therefore, if some readers hold a lot of bitcoin and do not want to sell it, You can consider hedging with long Leyte

from the perspective of information security, the bifurcation problem is likely to affect bitcoin's status as a ransom for blackmail virus. The author thinks that the virus accepting Wright coin and ether coin as ransom will be born soon

however, blockchain currencies are more or less troubled by processing speed, and the encryption algorithm is not easy to upgrade. In the long run, the risk is relatively high, and the signs of short-term price manipulation are relatively obvious. If the psychological enrance is not strong, just watch their running track
