Lightcoin SW failed
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 />
According to the domestic bitcoin, lightcoin trading platform bitcoin China and fire coin network quotation: at present, the price of lightcoin is about 58 yuan
recently, e to the FBI auction of bitcoin and the rumor that the Bank of communications will thoroughly investigate the account number of bitcoin trading platform and the impact of bitcoin core developers' outcry for stagnation in the development of bitcoin basic protocol, the prices of bitcoin and lightcoin have dropped. Among them, the price of lightcoin has not been affected by the rising price of bitcoin. The price is moderate and keeps growing slowly. When the price of bitcoin falls, lightcoin still falls
extended data:
design purpose
based on bitcoin protocol, but different from bitcoin, 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
bitcoin is a big experiment of socialization, which has gained wide attention in China since October 2013, especially a large number of reports from domestic media. CCTV media has also reported bitcoin positively for many times, which leads to people's wrong tone towards bitcoin. In addition, the US held an optimistic attitude towards bitcoin in the November hearing, The price of bitcoin was less than 1000 yuan, and it soared to 8000 yuan in less than two months. With the rise of the price of bitcoin, some counterfeit bitcoins are also rising, and lightcoin is one of the representatives.
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

it's reproced from lightcoin house
recently, a news about the inventor of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto's appearance in California made the whole instry fall into the crazy pursuit of this "mysterious man" again, but this news was finally proved to be untrue. Unlike the inventor of bitcoin, the identity of Charles Lee, the inventor of lightcoin, has always been clear. Recently, he received an exclusive interview with the reporter of the first financial daily
BTC China (bitcoin China), the world's largest bitcoin trading platform, also officially launched lightcoin trading on March 4. This virtual currency is likely to become the most popular cryptocurrency after bitcoin<
Mr. Nakamoto "shows up"
Newsweek reported on Thursday that Mr. Nakamoto lives in temple, east of Los Angeles, California. His real name is Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. The 64 year old, who owns $400 million worth of bitcoin, doesn't live in luxury, the report said. He graated from Caltech with a degree in physics and seems to have the necessary skills to develop cryptocurrency. In addition, he was involved in safety and communications at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
in an interview with the associated press, Nakamoto said that the media misunderstood this. Nakamoto said he had never heard of bitcoin. He firmly denied that he was the inventor of bitcoin. He repeatedly stressed: "I have nothing to do with bitcoin."<
it's not so important who Nakamoto is.
bitcoin fans' expectations of Nakamoto's appearance have failed again. However, recently, a reporter from China business daily interviewed Charles Lee, the founder of the virtual currency lightcoin, whose trading volume and market value are second only to bitcoin. For the reports that the media are eager to lift the veil of Nakamoto, Lee thinks that it doesn't matter who Nakamoto is. People just need to pay attention to the fact that bitcoin itself is valuable
Lee is currently working for a company dedicated to the development of bitcoin trading platform and wallet“ I think the success of lightcoin and bitcoin complement each other. Working on bitcoin is also good for the success of lightcoin. " He said
"before I knew about bitcoin, I had been investing in gold, which I think is a good way to fight inflation. But I came into contact with bitcoin three years ago. I think it is digital gold, and it has many other advantages compared with gold. For example, bitcoin can be infinitely divided and sent to other people without cost, but it also has a disadvantage compared with gold, that is, there is no corresponding physical object. " Lee said
in fact, Lee's first counterfeit coin project is not Wright coin, but fairbrix virtual coin. Fairbrix is a clone of tenebrix, a virtual currency. Tenebrix was founded in 2011. However, Lee believes that the developers of tenebrix dig up their own coins and collect 7 million tenebrix for themselves before they officially release tenebrix. This is very unfair“ Therefore, the community is interested in creating a zero pre mining tenebrix clone to make it more equitable. " Lee said
unlike bitcoin, the workload proof function of fairbrix written by Lee uses the crypt encryption algorithm instead of the SHA-256 encryption function adopted by bitcoin. Unfortunately, fairbrix is a failed project
but Lee's next attempt at counterfeit money was a success. In October 2011, he launched lightcoin, which integrates the code of bitcoin client and eliminates the program failure of killing fairbrix
there are many important differences between lightcoin and bitcoin. Unlike bitcoin's 21 million cap, lightcoin's cap is 81 million. In order to make the "mining" activity more democratic, lightcoin also integrates the workload proof crypt encryption algorithm from tenebrix project
"the advantage of scrypt design is that it can participate in" mining "by using CPU instead of using integrated circuit (ASIC) like bitcoin, which is the so-called expensive" mining machine. " "The relationship between bitcoin and lettercoin is more complementary than competitive," Lee said. In different situations, people can use different virtual currencies. For example, when shopping, you can use lightcoin to pay, because its transaction confirmation time is shorter, and when making large amount transfers, you can choose bitcoin, because it is more secure. "
when talking about other counterfeit currencies, Lee said that many of them are just scams and tools for developers to make money. He has not found other counterfeit currencies that can "compete" with bitcoin yet“ Ordinary investors can judge whether a counterfeit coin is worth investing from two aspects. First, it depends on the number of coins g up in advance. If developers have a lot of such counterfeit coins in advance, they are likely to make profits from them; The second is whether the developers are serious about the program. " Lee added. In addition, he expressed his interest in an unpublished virtual currency Ethereum, which may have a place in the future virtual currency world
it is worth mentioning that BTC China officially launched the lightcoin transaction on March 4. According to the data provided by bitcoin China, on the day of its launch, the number of visits to the website surged, with a total transaction volume of more than 30 million yuan in three days. Lee believes that bitcoin's launch in China further illustrates the fact that it is the most popular cryptocurrency after bitcoin.
