Lightcoin block height
2. Bitcoin can be copied, and lightcoin, Ruitai coin and vitality coin are all experimental objects
3. No, the source codes of different currencies are theoretically different
4. You can create counterfeit money without limit
5. It is possible in theory, but it may not work in practice.
was released on October 7, 2011. It is currently the highest market value counterfeit coin, about 1% of BTC's market value, or US $1000W. Compared with BTC, LTC is faster, with an average of 2.5 minutes and 6 confirmations per block in 15 minutes. In addition, the number of LTCs is four times that of BTCs, with a total of 8400w. At present, LTC uses scrypt algorithm, which needs a lot of memory support. The professional mining machine on the market can not be used for LTC mining, only the graphics card
what is the difference between lightcoin and bitcoin
1. Transaction: easier to use, larger volume and greater 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.
① lightcoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation
② lightcoin network is expected to proce 84 million lightcoins, which is about four times the circulation of bitcoin network
③ in its workload proof algorithm, lightcoin uses scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival, which makes it easier to mine lightcoin on ordinary computer than bitcoin
lightcoin is the most successful digital currency to imitate bitcoin. At present, major platforms support lightcoin transactions, including 58coin. It can be seen that lightcoin is comparable to bitcoin in terms of security and recognition.
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
data expansion:
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
BTC, usdt, ETH, BCH, LTC mean respectively:
1, BTC
bitcoin. The concept was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network is built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
2, usdt
TEDA currency is a virtual currency that links cryptocurrency with legal currency US dollar, and is a virtual currency kept in foreign exchange reserve account and supported by legal currency
EthEthereum is an open source public blockchain platform with intelligent contract function, which provides decentralized Ethereum virtual machine to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether
4. BCH
bitcoin cash is a new version of bitcoin with different configurations launched by a small number of bitcoin developers
at 20:20 on August 1, 2017, bitcoin cash starts mining, and each bitcoin investor's account will have the same amount of bitcoin cash (BCH)
5, LTC
litecoin, abbreviated as 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

team mining means that once anyone in the team gets a block, the currency in the block will be distributed to everyone according to their performance, so that everyone can get bitcoin quickly. The same is true of the distance from the Leyte mine
if you have large-scale computing power, you can build your own mine pool. If you don't have it, you are advised to give up.
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.
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.
