Lightcoin status

2. 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.

3. Compared with struggling repeatedly in the 2000-3000 range in April, the current price is more than 3000, but the popularity seems to be even colder. Compared with the price at that time, the lightcoin has fallen by half instead of rising, and the LTC / BTC exchange rate has dropped by 1%
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

4. 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.

5. There is a lot of discussion about "Wright is dead" on the Internet, mainly because of the sharp drop in its price in the past few months
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

6. It doesn't matter. Bitcoin is the earliest, most popular and most expensive virtual currency. Some businesses around the world can use bitcoin to pay. Lightcoin is the most formal and most supported virtual currency besides bitcoin, and relatively few businesses support it. Domestic hot money can trade these two currencies.
