Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant payments to
|
|
anyone in the world. It is based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs from
|
|
Bitcoin in that it can be efficiently mined with consumer-grade hardware.
|
|
Litecoin provides faster transaction confirmations (2.5 minutes on average) and
|
|
uses memory-hard, scrypt-based mining proof-of-work algorithm to target the
|
|
regular computers and GPUs most people already have. The Litecoin network is
|
|
scheduled to produce 84 million currency units.
|
|
|
|
One of the aims of Litecoin was to provide a mining algorithm that could run at
|
|
the same time, on the same hardware used to mine bitcoins. With the rise of
|
|
specialized ASICs for Bitcoin, Litecoin continues to satisfy these goals. It is
|
|
unlikely for ASIC mining to be developed for Litecoin until the currency is
|
|
widely used.
