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

Math, the language of numerals, originally developed from a practical desire to count things—whether it was the amount of fish in the daily catch or the days since the last full moon. Many ancient civilizations developed rudimentary numeral systems: in 2000 BCE, the Babylonians, who failed to conceptualize zero, used two symbols in different arrangements to create unique numerals between 1 and 60bitcoin минфин ethereum курс bitcoin калькулятор polkadot ico bitcoin приложения капитализация bitcoin bitcoin tor bitcoin пополнение tether wallet keys bitcoin start bitcoin

Well, each Bitcoin block takes 10 minutes to confirm. Litecoin is 4 times faster than this, at 2.5 minutes. This is really important if Litecoin is to become a global payment system.bitcoin nachrichten развод bitcoin payable ethereum пирамида bitcoin proxy bitcoin окупаемость bitcoin tether usdt reddit cryptocurrency bitcoin trojan ethereum стоимость компиляция bitcoin bitcoin wikileaks платформу ethereum блоки bitcoin bitcoin торги вывод monero bitcoin com криптовалюта tether clame bitcoin the ethereum курсы bitcoin machine bitcoin bitcoin blockstream bitcoin stock

Why, after all, would people want to hold euros which are perpetually debased when an alternative exists that enables easier payments and cannot be debased by the ECB? If Bitcoin proves itself over the years as a solid store of value, what rational reason would one have to use euros at all? Supposing taxes were required to be paid in euros, an individual could still conduct his business in Bitcoin, and only buy depreciating euros just before the taxes were due.bitcoin счет payoneer bitcoin bitcoin пулы bitcoin transactions bitcoin vector bitcoin python bitcoin получить market bitcoin bitcoin services cudaminer bitcoin

This contrasts with a hard-fork, where the node will stop processing blocks following the changed rules instead.
