Detailed explanation of Leyte mining algorithm scrypt
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.
the efficiency gap is the same as that of shovel and excavator
each litecain is divided into 100000000 smaller units, defined by eight decimal places. Lightcoin needs to be generated by "miner mining". Mining is done by hashing through computer graphics card. If the value of "mine explosion" is calculated, the system will reward 50 lightcoin at one time. At present, the computing power of Leyte coin is growing rapidly. The miners can't find the mine through several computers, so they need to join the mine pool. The mine pool gathers all the computing power of everyone, so the probability of finding the mine is greater
e to the popularity of bitcoin and lightcoin, many units, institutions or indivials proce money by imitating their principles in an endless stream. In order to regulate the operation of digital currencies such as lightcoin, the relevant departments of the state specially authorize and support the development of a series of training courses on digital assets and business value-added points, so that students can analyze objectively and invest rationally.
at present, lightcoin mining has entered the ASIC era, and the myth that ASIC was not suitable for lightcoin mining has been broken
if you want to mine the Leyte coin, it is recommended that you buy ASIC Leyte coin miner, and you'd better join a mine pool for mining. The more famous lightcoin machines in the market include A2, silverfish, KNC and so on. At present, Avalon, a famous supplier of bitcoin machines, also plans to research and develop lightcoin ASIC chips. Avalon's lightcoin chip is a 28nm process technology, which is in a leading position in the instry.
at present, lightcoin is the second virtual currency after bitcoin in global circulation market value. The legends of bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper and pennies aluminum (Internet) are popular in the circle
the popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Leyte coin, zeta coin, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bar, red coin, pole coin, barbecue coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world
litecoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC) and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of litecoin is based on an open source encryption protocol and is not managed by any central authority. Litecoin aims to improve bitcoin. Compared with bitcoin, litecoin has three significant differences. First, the liteoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation. Second, the output of litecoin network is expected to be 84 million litecoin, which is four times the amount of currency issued by bitcoin network. Thirdly, in its workload proof algorithm, litecoin uses the scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival, which makes it easier to mine litecoin on ordinary computers than bitcoin. Each litecain is divided into 100000000 smaller units, defined by eight decimal places
lightcoin is generated by "miner's mining". Mining is done by hashing with computer graphics card. If the value of "mine explosion" is calculated, the system will reward 50 lightcoin at one time. At present, the computing power of lightcoin is growing rapidly, and miner can't dig 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 ore pools abroad include wemineltc, coinotron, etc
when building bitcoin, Nakamoto wants bitcoin to be a decentralized currency, not only for use and trading, but also for mining. But it backfired. With the increasing value of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin, mining has become an instry. The competition is more and more fierce, and the pursuit of mining computing power is higher and higher. Therefore, from ordinary computer mining, ASIC mining machine and GPU mining machine have evolved
the algorithm of ASIC mining machine is almost sha256, while the algorithm of GPU mining is different. For example, the algorithm of BTG is equihash, and the algorithm of BCD is optimized x13. Although it is not absolute, it can be simply considered that the currency of sha256 algorithm is generally mined by ASIC mining machine. Other algorithms are basically using GPU miner. There are also exceptions. Scrypt's Leyte coin used to be mined by GPU miner, but later scrypt's algorithm was also conquered by ASIC chips, such as ant miner L3 +, which is the ASIC miner used to dig Leyte coin
ASIC miner refers to the miner that uses ASIC chip as the core of computing power. ASIC is the abbreviation of application specific integrated circuit, which is a kind of electronic circuit (chip) specially designed for a specific purpose. Some mining machinery factories have designed ASIC chips specially for computing the sha256 algorithm of bitcoin, and the mining machinery using them is ASIC mining machinery. Because ASIC chip is only built for specific computing, its efficiency can be much higher than that of CPU. For example, the current mainstream ant miner S9 is ASIC miner, which uses 189 ASIC chips, the computing power reaches 13.5th/s, and the power consumption is only 1350W. As a comparison, the computing power of gtx1080ti, the flagship computer graphics card, will not exceed 60mh / s even if it is optimized well. The difference is tens of thousands of times
GPU miner refers to the miner that uses GPU graphics card as the core of computing power. Cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, bitcoin and diamond use graphics algorithms, so the speed of computing with graphics card will be the highest. Compared with ASIC miner, GPU miner is more well-known, because it is a computer with enhanced graphics card configurationthe purpose of GPU miner is to make money, so we should pursue the power consumption ratio and maximum profit, so we should pay attention to the cost performance. Generally, the medium and high-end positioning graphics cards, such as AMD rx560 and rx570, have high power consumption ratio, which is a good choice for GPU miner. While flagship cards such as gtx1080ti and AMD vega64 have the strongest single card performance, they are not cost-effective in terms of price and power consumption
in addition, the ASIC miner also has some exotic procts, such as the USB miner of burning cat, which is slightly larger than the U disk, and the power consumption is only 2.25w, which is the smallest bitcoin miner at present

first, it will issue money, but it is not a virtual currency for speculation
why should there be money in blockchain projects? What is the function of this coin? Currency plays the role of voucher and circulation in the project. In fact, the slip can also play the role of voucher and circulation. For example, the IOU, or even the stamped IOU, can be used as voucher and circulation? Yes! However, notes can be forged, while things on the blockchain cannot be forged and are the only one. That's why blockchain projects need money. However, it should be noted that this currency is not used for speculation, but is complementary to the business. It not only has the property of transaction, but also has the property of cash dividend. Generally speaking, even if it is put still, it will not affect the project operation and investment income< Second, there must be an investment guarantee mechanism
that is to say, your income should be stable and sustainable, rather than based on the speculation. It's said that you have to get your own return on investment. The so-called return on investment must be obtained without much cost. In other words, someone has to run the business and do something. Do you understand? Only in this way can you increase the value of your investment. The investment return mechanism should be guaranteed by law< Third, we should be able to truly achieve the goal and have the ability of hematopoiesis
a complete business entity and hematopoietic capacity are the basis for all investments to gain value added! Without a complete business system and hematopoietic capacity, any investment will not get stable, reliable and sustainable value-added
if you want your investment insurance and safety, these three points are indispensable. If you have these three points at the same time, it will be sooner or later for you to make money. Without these three points, your investment will basically drift away.
