Virtual currency platform
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.
Virtual currency as a new era of currency, the future development prospects are still very good, Zhihu of course can develop their own virtual currency
based on the above, I would like to advise you:
1. If you don't believe in virtual currency, you must not participate in it. For you, it is pyramid selling
2. Don't trust any trading platform, no matter whether the founder of the trading platform is on CCTV (there are many cheaters on CCTV), or take a picture with the national leaders, and save the money when you buy it. Back up your wallet. Don't be afraid of trouble
3. Don't inlge in short-term business. Your heart can't stand it. Staring at the price up and down every day, you will go crazy one day, just like speculating in stocks. There are few short-term businesses to make money, and they are not as good as stocks. Stocks are protected by national laws, so it's hard to say money
4. If you really want to earn money from virtual currency, choose some cheap virtual currency that you think is more reliable (the value of each virtual currency is less than 10 cents). If it's too expensive, don't buy it. Each virtual currency with a value of less than 100 yuan is a long-term investment, which is called angel investment. What does Ma Yun say: in case it develops
5. It's also good to choose a few free virtual coins for mining. It's also good to dig a few cents every day and accumulate every day
Bitcoin is a kind of encrypted digital asset protected by cryptography, without the participation of centralized institutions. It has been running steadily since 2009 and has become one of the important investment targets of global investors. Many investors are very interested in bitcoin investment. The entry process of bitcoin and some investment procts is slightly different. The address of bitcoin blockchain is decentralized, so there is no account opening step. However, purchasing Mai bitcoin with bitcoin requires the assistance of some third-party platforms
at present, there are relatively large platforms in China, such as okex, fire coin and coin security. I have been in and out of money for many times in these platforms. Let's introce my experience of buying Mai bitcoin in these exchanges.
before the introction, I need to explain one premise: the security of Mai bitcoin is divided into two aspects: one is asset security, which basically won't cause any problems when I choose the three major domestic exchanges; the other is capital security, in other words, Is to rece as much as possible with the flow of black money bank card transactions. Because it's easy to freeze their bank cards, each exchange has a different strategy
1、OKEx： https://www.okex.me/buy-crypto/cny
okex is the exchange that I use the most Mai currency. I have been in okexmai currency since 18 years. Most of the time, I have had a good experience of Mai currency. I only encountered the problem of freezing okex account (not bank card freezing) once in my impression. However, OK customer service also helped me understand the freezing process very quickly. This is my first contact with OK customer service, Good attitude and high efficiency< it can be seen from the side that okex has done a lot of work in the prevention and control of black money. Moreover, in recent years, there are few card freezing incidents in okex. Today, the black money in the exchange is increasingly rampant, okex has done quite well
in terms of user experience, the function of one click Mai is more suitable for Xiao. When using this function, you don't need to select the businesses that meet the standard in the list of businesses. It's more convenient. At present, when you do activities, you will get a 20 yuan reward when you buy Mai for the first time
in addition, okex is a first-line exchange with a large user base. Mai currency supports wechat, and ZFB buys Mai with zero handling charge. If you've just come into contact with bitcoin, it's a quick and safe choice in okexmai
However, the weakness is that okex has little support for foreign currencies. Except for RMB, only the Vietnamese Dong and Indian Rupee have depth. The Mai currency entrance of other countries' currencies is only the interface of other cooperation platforms2 https://www.huobi.com/zh-cn/
the exchange's legal currency trading plate is deep enough, and there are many powerful businesses with good experience. Support the purchase of Mai bitcoin with multi currency. In addition, the process of making Mai coins is relatively smooth and can be completed in a few minutes
however, e to the good user experience of fire coin, black and gray procts will also choose fire coin as a channel for money laundering. fire coin has been updating its risk control strategy to intercept black money accounts. However, at present, it seems that the effect may not be so good, and the freezing card incident continues. Friends who pay close attention to the digital money market may understand that a large-scale freeze occurred in early June, and many users' bank cards were frozen. Therefore, we should be a little more cautious when using Mai coins on this platform, try to choose the ranked merchants, and rece the probability of being frozen.

the trading plate of currency security legal currency started late, and the accumulation was not enough. Frankly speaking, the depth and experience of legal currency trading is quite different from that of okex and fire currency< Strong>, especially the t+1 strategy of currency, which is Mai currency, will make complaints about money in a day. This system has been thrown into the trap by too many people, because this is obviously a "one size fits all" strategy with insufficient technical capability.
however, even if there are many slots, coin an is slightly better than the second and third tier exchanges in terms of asset security. Users who trade in coin an can also try to buy Mai bitcoin in coin an
finally, based on the above factors, it is suggested that okex is the first choice for Mai bitcoin, fire coin is the second choice, and coin security is not recommended
Virtual currency is a hot topic in recent years, and many people have made a lot of money because of it, but the current situation of these people is so sad
some people become famous and realize the freedom of wealth, while some people continue to speculate like gamblers and lose everything
this kind of people all heard that other people made money from it, and then they regretted very much. Why didn't they buy a few bitcoins in those years
then, in order to make up for this regret, these people are crazy, looking for this coin and that coin every day, spending all their savings, but in the end, few of them increase their prices
you should know that scarcity is the most important thing. Now all kinds of virtual currencies have been saturated for a long time. What's the use of joining in this? If you don't say anything else, just bitcoin, a lot of people can't do it, OK
