The highest price of virtual currency
this is also a distributed (decentralized) digital currency. Unlike the sha256 mining algorithm used by bitcoin, LTC adopts scrypt algorithm. Scrypt algorithm uses sha256 as its subroutine, and scrypt itself needs a lot of memory. Each hash is used as the seed of the input, and then it needs a lot of memory to store another pseudo-random sequence to generate the pseudo-random points of the sequence and output the hash value. In the mining of BTC (bitcoin), it is not enough to rely on simple graphics card mining (it takes about ten to dozens of days to dig a BTC with general configuration graphics card). The emergence of various expensive mining machines has raised the threshold for ordinary people to get BTC through mining, while LTC has certain advantages in using PC graphics card mining This passage comes from Zhihu.)
compared with BTC, litecain has made a little improvement in technology. If BTC is gold now, LTC is silver for the time being
the biggest advantage of litecoin is that it can confirm the authenticity faster. The virtual currency is designed and maintained by Charles Lee. Bitcoin transactions need to be verified, and the average verification time is more than 10 minutes. Most transaction websites need 1 hour to verify. The average transaction confirmation time of liteoin is 2.5 minutes. Developers claim that shortening the verification time increases the practicability of virtual currency. The bitcoin mining efficiency of customized machine and AMD GPU is the highest, making it almost unprofitable for miners using CPU mining. Litecain's mining excludes GPUs and custom processors, so it doesn't rely too much on a small number of professional miners
ppcoin
ppcoin (PPC) was released on August 19, 2012, which has improved the original technology of BTC. Use proof of make and add the concept of coin age
ppcoin is a bifurcated project of bitcoin, which aims to achieve energy efficiency and maintain the best performance of the original bitcoin as far as possible. The unit price of ppcoin is US $0.22 and the total currency value is US $4 million
ppcoin does not have a fixed upper limit of money supply, but it does not mean that ppcoin has obvious inflation compared with bitcoin. Bitcoin can be compared to gold. The annual inflation rate of gold is about 1-3%. Although gold has no known upper limit of money supply, we still know that it is a reliable scarce commodity
ppcoin has two types of casting: work certificate and equity certificate. The coinage rate of working proof is affected by Moore's law, which depends on the doubling of our working proof ability. What we all know is that Moore's law will eventually come to an end. By then, the ppcoin of inflation may be close to the gold level. The annual maximum inflation rate of certificate of equity is 1%. At the same time, ppcoin's transaction costs were destroyed to fight inflation. So on the whole, the coin design of ppcoin is still a very low inflation design in the future, which can be comparable with bitcoin<
ppcoin's reward is similar to lottery, which will determine the winning probability according to the number of ppcoin held by miners. Sunny king, one of the founders, said that their design is based on a new concept of long-term energy efficiency
terracoin
terracoin (TRC) was released on October 26, 2012, with a total currency of 42 million. The speed of each block is 2 minutes, slightly faster than LTC. There is not much special in technology, similar to the proction of BTC halved every four years
however, the operation team seems to have a strong business background and may be better than other bitcoins in circulation. The development of virtual currency is getting more and more attention. Now some teams with business background will accelerate the development of virtual currency
namecoin
namecoin is a distributed domain name system based on bitcoin technology. Its principle is the same as bitcoin. The first release date of this open source software is April 18, 2011
namecoin is generated from an original block which is different from bitcoin's main trading block. It uses a new blockchain, which is independent of bitcoin's blockchain. Because it is based on bitcoin, the security, distribution, robustness, encryption and migration of domain names are guaranteed mathematically. You can dig bitcoin and namecoin at the same time
this project was discussed and proposed by bitdns, which is mainly dissatisfied with the defects of DNS. The only top-level domain name of namecoin is. Bit. It costs namecoin to register a. Bit domain name
in addition, Q currency, Shanda currency, starting point currency and various online game currencies are also virtual currencies.
according to the data of coindesk digital currency trading platform, the price of bitcoin once fell below US $6000 in 18 years, which has dropped by 70% compared with the highest value of US $20000 in 2017
"the price movements we are seeing now may seem drastic, but they are quite normal for this market." Etiro's senior market analyst, MATI Greenspan, wrote in an email to CNBC
with the decline of bitcoin, most digital currencies are affected, and other digital currencies are not much better. Most digital currencies are down by more than 10%. But in the long run, the future of digital currency is worth looking forward to.
Virtual currency is valuable because of its liquidity and not easy to query
a bitcoin system written by a pile of codes, from worthless to 100000 yuan, what is bitcoin? Why is it so valuable? Once you understand the nature of bitcoin, you won't just focus on currency price fluctuations. It can be said that the invention of bitcoin has given people unlimited imagination. Of course, the value of bitcoin is also determined by its demand. So who needs bitcoin in the first place? When we talk about how to reach a consensus on a broader level, let's first look at the essence of value. Why is gold valuable and what is its essence
in my opinion, a group of virtual currencies led by bitcoin will exist for a long time and will not replace the current legal tender. It will exist independent of fiat money and will not belong to any country. Some virtual currencies are recognized by some people first, and then graally form a wider circulation because of their value. More people reach this consensus, and finally they have the value of existence. Of course, most virtual currencies have no value and are aviation currencies. If a currency wants to exist for a long time, it must go through a long period of ups and downs, and constantly dig out its greater use value, in order to become a virtual currency with real value
the ranking of digital currency can be measured according to multiple dimensions, such as market value, technical ability, landing in Cheng, 24-hour rise and fall, 24-hour turnover list, 24-hour turnover rate, etc. For the sake of data accuracy, we list the ranking of virtual currencies in the market value list<
let's first look at the data to see how the Ministry of instry and information technology measures the value of digital currency:
saidI Research Institute of the Ministry of instry and information technology officially announced the first global public chain technology evaluation index and ranking. Eth ranked first with a total index of 129.4, while BTC only ranked 13th<
moreover, the ranking method this time is that CCID Research Institute of MIIT does not mention cryptocurrency, but only public chain. The first list of evaluation objects are: bitcoin, Ethereum, reborn, Leyte, bitcoin cash, Cardano, starcoin, Neo, eota, Monroe, dasey, Xinjing, Ethereum classic, quantum chain, Nanor, application chain Big zero coin, verge, stratis, cloud storage coin, stim coin, bitstock, byte coin, wave coin, deced, super cash hcash, Comodo coin, ark. The top ten in the list are eth, stem, LSK, Neo, KMD, XLM, ADA, iota, XmR and strat<
If ranked by market value, the results will be much different: the following data are based on Niuniu app, and the market value represents the first place at the time of writing: bitcoin (BTC)
current price: 26428 yuan, market value: 460.018 billion yuan, total amount of CDB: 21 million, circulation volume: 17.406 million, and circulation market value: 460.207 billion yuan, Issue time: 2009.01.03
second place: XRP
current price: 236 yuan, market value: 95.192 billion yuan, total issue volume: 100 billion yuan, circulation volume: 40.327 billion yuan, circulation market value: 95.181 billion yuan, issue time: 2011.04.18
third place: eth
current price: 734 yuan, market value: 76.136 billion yuan, total issue volume: 104 million yuan, Circulation volume: 104 million, circulation market value: 76.136 billion, issue time: July 24, 2014
fourth place: Star currency (XLM)
current price: 98 yuan, market value: 18.834 billion, total issue: 104.523 billion, circulation volume: 19.155 billion. Circulation market value: 188.43 yuan. Issue time: 2014.08.01
fifth place: bitcoin (BCH)
market value: RMB 137.700 billion, currency price: RMB 810.175, total currency: RMB 21 million, bitcoin cash released on August 1, 2017, jointly created by some bitcoin developers, belongs to the new version of bitcoin. From 2015 to 2017, the price of bitcoin rose rapidly. Different factions competed fiercely for more computer network resources. In order to get out of the competitive environment, one camp created another version and rebuilt the blockchain currency. Bitcoin cash modifies the code of bitcoin, increases the block size to 8m, adopts two-layer network, reces the workload of bitcoin network, and maximizes the efficiency of bitcoin network without damaging the original structure and security of bitcoin blockchain
with the integration of the two exchanges of okex and Huo yuan.com, yuanniuniu can share the trading depth and enjoy the treatment of zero handling charge fund transfer. It only needs to download an app to exchange transactions at both ends. At the same time, yuanniuniu is also a good market software tool, which can help speculators master the latest currency price trends and large positions.
many people will find resources like virtual currency often mentioned in the news when they learn about the economic news moreover, in our daily life, we also feel special concern for such a relevant market. At the beginning of April, there was a big increase in global psychological money, which broke the historical record of US $200 million
bitcoin like this and virtual currency like Ethereum, and their prices have also repeatedly reached new highs, so they have attracted a large number of investors they also want to make such investment and financial management through their own other channels, and there may be some violations of the law and discipline. For example, for some virtual currencies, they may also have some other platforms, and they will also launch some platform currencies or counterfeit currencies. Although from now on, the market value of bitcoin is probably on the top of US $100 billion, many people still hold a more cautious and skeptical attitude towards bitcoin. After all, the rise of bitcoin is not always in a continuous upward trend, and there will be a decline
