How to mine bitcoin and lightcoin

1. It's hard to say. Anyway, lightcoin mining is basically no longer profitable, so is bitcoin. Some time ago, e to the sharp drop in the price of lightcoin, Zeus lightcoin cloud mining project has stopped mining. The mining of Laite coin is still so, and the mining of indivial investors is even more difficult. There are different opinions about the cost of bitcoin mining, some say 1500, some say 500. This has something to do with the performance and electricity price of the mining machine.

2. Lightcoin is a kind of network virtual currency based on PTP technology, which is second only to bitcoin in the global circulation market value. Inspired by bitcoin, the creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol, which is not managed by any central authority
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.

3. The mining principle of lightcoin is the same as that of bitcoin, but the algorithm is different. In short, it is to use the computing power of your lightcoin mining equipment to solve mathematical problems, confirm lightcoin network transactions, and ensure the security of the entire lightcoin network system. As a reward, miners can get unequal lightcoin rewards. The total number of lightcoin is four times that of bitcoin

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.

4. Litecoin is a kind of network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology, which can help users pay to anyone in the world immediately
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

5. All virtual digital cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, have consensus algorithms, but not all consensus algorithms are realized by mining. Lightcoin was obtained by mining. The security of the algorithm is still very high, but the security of the storage is related to the storage mode. The security of the cold wallet is the highest, followed by the hot wallet. The security of the platform, the exchange and the like wallet is general, and the difference is very big.

6. Compared with bitcoin mining, lightcoin mining is relatively easy. Because the difficulty of mining is relatively low. But at present, lightcoin mining has graally entered the era of ASIC miner competition. The computing power is constantly rising, and the computing power of large mines is approaching 51%. If you want to carry out lightcoin mining, you must buy professional ASIC lightcoin miner. However, the price of lightcoin miner is generally too high, and there will be more ASIC lightcoin miner with high computing power in the future, Computing power is not constantly pushing up. This is the same as the era of bitcoin ASIC miner last year. Last year, Avalon miner was born, which completely subverted the bitcoin mining instry. With the help of roast cat, the computing power suddenly increased, and the graphics card mining completely went out of people's sight. Although there are many bitcoin ASIC mining machines, Avalon mining machine has always been unique and constantly launched its own new procts.

When bitcoin nodes connect with each other, they will get transactions they don't have from each other. But because bitcoin has accumulated a large number of transactions for a long time, it is very difficult for two nodes to compare which transactions you are missing / which transactions I am missing one by one

to solve this problem, Nakamoto Tsung invented the important technology of block chain. Nodes use blocks to synchronize transactions, which ensures the data consistency of all nodes, and ensures the uniqueness of the blockchain by competing for block packing rights (that is, mining)

① a block and blockchain
a packet formed by a transaction over a period of time is called a block. On average, bitcoin generates a block every 10 minutes, and each block is linked to the previous block to form a blockchain

② the transaction data is synchronized with the block as a unit
the block is numbered from 1, so after node a connects with node B, it is convenient to synchronize the transaction data as long as the block number height of both parties is checked. For example, if node A's own block height is 100 and node B's block height is 110, all it needs to do is request B to synchronize the 10 blocks 101-110<

③ reward for packed blocks
in order to ensure that there are nodes to pack bitcoin transactions, bitcoin rules stipulate that nodes of packed transactions will receive bitcoin as reward
A. part of the package reward comes from the transaction fee paid by the transaction creator (100-1000 transaction fee per KB)
B. the other part comes from the initial distribution of 21 million bitcoins. At the beginning, the reward is 50 bitcoins for each block. After that, the reward will be halved for every 210000 blocks (about four years). Until about 2140, the reward for each block is less than 1, and the total reward for each block is 21 million bitcoins, This is the source of the total amount of 21 million bitcoins (2099999.97690000 to be exact)
after 2140, the package reward will only come from the transaction fee paid by the transaction creator<

④ competition for block packing right
node packing transaction only needs to consume very low-cost network and computing resources. The existence of packing reward (at present, the packing reward for each block is 25 bitcoin, about 40000 yuan), makes a large number of nodes want to pack transactions. In order to ensure the uniqueness of the blockchain, bitcoin rules stipulate that nodes use a method similar to "coin tossing" to compete for the right of transaction packaging. Nodes constantly toss coins. Whoever first throws the results that meet the rules will get the right to pack the transaction in this block, as well as the package reward of this block

8. What is the operating principle of LTC? It is a kind of digital electronic currency proced by open source P2P software. It is generated by calculation and consists of a series of complex computer codes. It does not rely on a specific issuing institution, but uses distributed databases throughout the P2P network nodes to record currency transactions, and uses cryptography encryption design to ensure the security of all aspects of its circulation.
