Lightcoin crisis
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

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
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 />
bitcoin, lightcoin and other virtual cryptocurrencies are defined by the central bank as a kind of special Internet goods in China. Citizens can buy and sell freely at their own risk, which denies their monetary attribute. Central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan once said that bitcoin is more like a tradable asset, similar to stamps. Since it's a commodity or asset, it's legal. Citizens' property is sacred and inviolable. Bitcoin house also published the full text of the joint notice on bitcoin risk issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions in 2013. You can see it from the emotional point of view
most of the major countries in the world also adopt a cold attitude towards bitcoin, because bitcoin may be used for money laundering, drug trading and other illegal activities.
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.
litecoin is short for LTC, and its English name is litecoin. Litecoin stands for lightweight. The meaning behind litecoin is lightweight currency
1. Bitcoin generates a block every 10 minutes, while lightcoin LTC generates a block every 2.5 minutes. This means that lightcoin has faster transaction confirmation efficiency. Bitcoin transfer sometimes takes 1 hour or even longer to arrive at the account, but lightcoin generally takes less than 20 minutes to confirm
2. Since the LTC speed of lightcoin is four times that of bitcoin, and the reward of each block is the same as bitcoin, the total amount of money is four times that of bitcoin, which is 84 million lightcoins, which is higher than that of bitcoin<
3. Bitcoin adopts sha256 encryption algorithm, and lightcoin adopts script encryption algorithm. Compared with bitcoin, lightcoin LTC has a slightly lower computational load, which makes it easier to mine and more suitable for graphics card
(GPU) operation. At the same time, FPGA (field programmable gate array) and ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) implemented for script are better than sha256 used for bitcoin, More expensive.
is the Wright coin dying? In fact, for many reasons, it is not reliable to say that Leyte currency is extinct or that it has lost its second place in virtual currency. There are also signs that the rumors are coming from other virtual currency supporters, not from the lettercoin community. There are still many advantages to lightcoin, which can make it the second largest virtual currency in the world. Now they need to focus on the miners
