Acerca de Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin es una criptomoneda y blockchain que se diferencia de Bitcoin mediante el uso de un algoritmo de minería diferente y de un procesamiento de transacciones más rápido.

Litecoin fue concebida por primera vez y, posteriormente, presentada por Charlie Lee en octubre de 2011. Litecoin es una bifurcación de Bitcoin y técnicamente similar; sin embargo, utiliza un algoritmo de minería de prueba de trabajo diferente llamado “scrypt”.

Preguntas frecuentes

Litecoin Token

Accordion Arrow

Litecoin or LTC is the digital asset token of the Litecoin network (similar to how bitcoin or BTC is the digital asset token of the Bitcoin network). All LTC balances and transactions are recorded on the Litecoin blockchain. The smallest subunit of LTC is the “litoshi,” which is 10-8 LTC or one hundred-millionth of an LTC (0.00000001 LTC). Litecoin may be bought and sold for fiat currency or other digital currencies.

Litecoin can be purchased on a cryptocurrency exchange and stored in a crypto wallet and custodian like Gemini.

Características de Litecoin

Accordion Arrow

If bitcoin resembles “digital gold” (i.e., a store of value), then Litecoin is akin to “digital silver” that offers an alternative mining algorithm, faster transaction settlement, and a testing ground for more ambitious innovation than Bitcoin as there is less value at risk.

Descentralización de la realización de minado

Accordion Arrow

Litecoin’s consensus mechanism uses a different proof of work algorithm than Bitcoin. While Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hash algorithm of the Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2) family, Litecoin relies on the scrypt hash algorithm for mining. The scrypt algorithm was specifically designed to require vast amounts of memory when solving computational challenges. It was designed this way so that custom hardware like application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chips wouldn’t have an advantage over non-customer hardware with respect to mining. This hardware normalizing characteristic of scrypt versus SHA256 makes Litecoin more ASIC and FPGA resistant and potentially mitigates the risk of mining becoming too centralized and overly concentrated among a few large, well-capitalized players. For example, mining Bitcoin with graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware is 20 times more efficient than mining Bitcoin with general purpose hardware like a central processing unit (CPU), whereas mining Litecoin with the same GPU hardware is only 10 times more efficient than mining Litecoin with a CPU.

Liquidación de transacciones más rápida

Accordion Arrow

The Litecoin network allows miners to add blocks of transactions to the Litecoin blockchain approximately every 2.5 minutes (based on the mining difficulty embedded in the protocol). This is four times faster than the Bitcoin network, which allows miners to add blocks of transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain approximately every 10 minutes.

Testnet

Accordion Arrow

Litecoin continues to push the boundaries of innovation and technology adoption as compared to the more conservative Bitcoin development community. As a result, Litecoin has become known as the “Bitcoin Testnet” where proposals are implemented and tested first. For example, in May 2017, Litecoin was the largest virtual currency by market capitalization to adopt a new transaction format called Segregated Witness or SegWit that addresses blockchain transaction scalability. Bitcoin adopted SegWit several months later on August 24, 2017. In addition, after Litecoin implemented SegWit, the first Lightning Network payment was successfully made on top of Litecoin, sending a nano payment that settled in a fraction of a second.
