History
Litecoin was released via an open-source client on GitHub on October 7, 2011 by Charlie Lee, a Google employee who later became Engineering Director at Coinbase. The Litecoin network went live on October 13, 2011.
It was a source code fork of the Bitcoin Core client, differing primarily by having a decreased block generation time (2.5 minutes), increased maximum number of coins, different hashing algorithm (scrypt, instead of SHA-256), and a slightly modified GUI.
During the month of November 2013, the aggregate value of Litecoin experienced massive growth which included a 100% leap within 24 hours.
In May 2017, Litecoin became the first of the top 5 (by market cap) cryptocurrencies to adopt Segregated Witness. Later in May of the same year, the first Lightning Network transaction was completed through Litecoin, transferring 0.00000001 LTC from Zürich to San Francisco in under one second.
Differences from Bitcoin
Litecoin is different in some ways from Bitcoin.[citation needed]
The Litecoin Network aims to process a block every 2.5 minutes, rather than Bitcoin's 10 minutes. This allows Litecoin to confirm transactions much faster than Bitcoin.
Litecoin uses scrypt in its proof-of-work algorithm, a sequential memory-hard function requiring asymptotically more memory than an algorithm which is not memory-hard.[citation needed]
Due to Litecoin's use of the scrypt algorithm, FPGA and ASIC devices made for mining Litecoin are more complicated to create and more expensive to produce than they are for Bitcoin, which uses SHA-256.
When it comes to Litecoin as a method of payment, in early days there was correlation to Bitcoin in terms of extended payment patterns. Although one might assume that payment patterns of Litecoin would converge to Bitcoin, it has been found that there is little correlation of the payment patterns of Litecoin vs Bitcoin today, and these patterns continue to diverge over time

Satoshi was not an all-seeing savant, and s/he certainly failed to anticipate some of the ways the system would develop, but the tradeoffs that ended up in Bitcoin are generally quite defensible. Whether they are absolutely correct remains to be seen. But just remind yourself: if you encounter a feature that seems obviously wrong, look deeper and you may discover a justification for its existence.It's a giant Ponzi schemeподтверждение bitcoin tether app bitcoin neteller lamborghini bitcoin ethereum платформа ethereum clix ethereum algorithm проверка bitcoin ico cryptocurrency eth bitcoin обменять ethereum flappy bitcoin bitcoin airbitclub cryptocurrency mining This is communications without relying on a central server.Ethereum conceptsbitcoin fortune bitcoin metatrader blockchain ethereum bitcoin кэш bitcoin create

Every day, hundreds of millions of low-income people go to work in hard jobs in foreign countries to make money to send back to their families in their home countries – over $400 billion in total annually, according to the World Bank. Every day, banks and payment companies extract mind-boggling fees, up to 10 percent and sometimes even higher, to send this money.bitcoin spinner bitcoin doubler ethereum проблемы bitcoin phoenix ethereum эфир платформ ethereum market bitcoin difficulty ethereum javascript bitcoin bitcoin legal bitcoin бумажник maining bitcoin bitcoin scrypt блок bitcoin coingecko ethereum litecoin bitcoin bitcoin create best bitcoin monero сложность bitcoin информация Why do people use the peer-to-peer network?bitcoin дешевеет bitcoin cli iso bitcoin register bitcoin bitcoin шахты bitcoin сложность bitcoin flapper miner monero bitcoin хешрейт bitcoin london alpari bitcoin bitcoin ecdsa акции bitcoin ubuntu ethereum bitcoin разделился stats ethereum monero transaction

Nobody can prevent you from spending it. Even if one’s home is broken into, or even if the government issues a 'confiscation order' (as they did with gold in 1933), one’s Bitcoins are perfectly safe. Try fleeing a country with $1,000,000 in bullion without the government knowing about it. Easier said than done. With Bitcoin, it’s almost easier done than said — you could put $1,000,000 of Bitcoin on a USB drive, or even write the private key on a piece of paper, or just email the wallet file to yourself to be retrieved outside the country.bitcoin goldman
