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

At the current rate of 900 new validators being added to the network each day, phase 1 will occur sometime in late August or early September of this year. In August 2016, hackers stole some $72 million in customer bitcoin from the Hong Kong–based exchange Bitfinex.пожертвование bitcoin bitcoin history bitcoin официальный reddit cryptocurrency bitcoin сети

On the Bitcoin network, miners who confirm new blocks of information are rewarded with 12.5 BTC of new Bitcoin. This is why it’s called mining. Instead of mining for gold or coal crypto, miners are digging for new Bitcoin!компания bitcoin bitcoin в компиляция bitcoin stellar cryptocurrency bitcoin tm bitcoin wmx bitcoin stealer bitcoin blender bitcoin ключи bitcoin pattern usa bitcoin logo ethereum bitcoin книги ico ethereum cryptocurrency trading bitcoin loan cpa bitcoin bitcoin hyip

It’s not too shocking, therefore, that one of the release valves for investors was banned during that specific period. Gold did great over that time, and held its purchasing power against currency debasement. The government considered it a matter of national security to 'prevent hoarding' and basically force people into the paper assets that lost value, or into more economic assets like stocks and real estate.bitcoin основатель nanopool ethereum and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: it nevermonero майнить фьючерсы bitcoin stealer bitcoin
