Jump to: , Contents 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Litecoin uses scrypt for its proof of work algorithm, and SHA-256d as a subroutine.Bitcoin exclusively uses SHA-256d for its hash function.The scrypt hash function used by Litecoin depends on fast access to large amounts of memory per hash attempt, rather than depending just on fast arithmetic operations.By using the input as a seed to fill a large amount of memory with a pseudorandom sequence, and then using another seed derived from the input in order to access this sequence at pseudorandom points while generating the output hash, the difficulty to run many instances of scrypt in parallel by using the ALUs of a modern graphics card increases greatly, compared to Bitcoin's GPU-friendly SHA-256 algorithm.Since memory is the resource of general-purpose computers which is the most expensive to reproduce for ASICs, in particular it's more expensive than ALUs, this means that a one-time investment in ASICs for Litecoin mining would be much more expensive.

The memory size parameter of scrypt was selected (originally by ArtForz and Lolcust) to fit into 128.5kB, so that it'd only hit the L1/L2 cache and leave the L3 cache and the RAM alone.This means that it's possible to mine Litecoin without affecting system responsiveness, while still requiring a significantly large amount of memory per hash attempt, and without affecting the GPU's hashing speed if the GPU is already used to mine Litecoin or Bitcoin.bitcoin miner software macThe scrypt parameters that Litecoin uses (N=1024, p=1, r=1) let users who run the Litecoin client--and therefore need to verify the blocks--multitask in their operating system without affecting the responsiveness.ethereum non-profitThis still reduces the advantage of ASIC by a 10-fold estimate, according to Colin Percival, the creator of scrypt.[1][2]litecoin install linux

Since modern graphics cards have plenty of RAM, they do prove useful for Litecoin mining.You can also see the difference in mining difficulty by viewing Litecoin's mining hardware comparison and comparing it to Bitcoin's comparison page.Where a common GPU will mine Bitcoin in MH/s (megahashes), Litecoin is mined in kH/s (kilohashes).bitcoin nova moedaThe total number of litecoins that will come into existence is four times the total number of Bitcoins; 84 million compared to 21 million.situs bitcoin gratisThe reward for each Litecoin block is 50 litecoins.wager with bitcoinThe rate of Litecoin generation is halved every 840,000 blocks, i.e.forbes bitcoin 2011four times more blocks than with Bitcoin.litecoin mining server

Since Litecoin blocks are generated four times faster than Bitcoin blocks, this means that the monetary inflation of Litecoin follows the same trajectory as that of Bitcoin.There aren't actually any cons specific to Litecoin mining that wouldn't also apply to mining any other cryptocurrency.The active development of Litecoin helps prevent many exploits that are still a part of other coins, even in Bitcoin.bitcoin david baileyLooking for products related to wholesale antminer u3,wholesale bitmain antminer,wholesale antminer s5,wholesale bitcoin miner,wholesale new bitcoin miners,bitcoin s3,bitcoin mining machines,asic miners,s5 bitcoin miner,avalon bitcoin miners,asic bitcoin,ltc usb miner,asic miners litecoin,miner u2,s3 bitcoin miner Best Match Price Bestselling Recently Listed Customer Review Price: $ - $ Min Order: less than Unit(s) + More Smart R I N G Networking & Communications Bitcoin Miners Asic Bitcoin Miners for Bling Consola smart gadget 2015 / Piece 1 2000Gh/s0Avalon28nm2015Quick View / Quick Task Start Seller: jakcomdh Positive Feedback Report Item 2017 4.73Th s AntMiner S7 -F1+PSU,4730Gh s Asic Miner, Bitcon Miner,28NM,BTC miner,Power Consumption 1293w,SHA256 DHL shipping not new / Piece 4.73th/s1293 W +10% (at the wall)12V+5%, should not be less than 12.0V4.73 TH/s ±5%1 x 12038 fanYes Seller: dave2014 Positive Feedback Report Item used 4.73Th s AntMiner S7 -F1+PSU,4730Gh s Asic Miner, Bitcon Miner,28NM,BTC miner,Power Consumption 1293w,SHA256 DHL shipping not new / Piece 2000Gh/s1293 W +10% (at the wall)135x BM1385Icuras support SHA256 algorithm267mm(L)*130mm(W)*155mm(H)1 x 12038 fan Seller: dave2016 Positive Feedback Report Item hot sell new AntMiner S9 + 1600W PSU 11.85Th s two fan,11850Gh s Asic Miner, Bitcon Miner,16nm BTC Mining,Power Consumption 1172w,SHA256 no / Piece 2000Gh/s1172 W +12% (at the wall)S9Icuras support SHA256 algorithm11.85 TH/s ±5%16 nm Seller: dave2016 Positive Feedback Report Item 2017 new Antminer S7 4.73T Bitcoin miner ASIC miner 4730G BTC Mining machine better than antminer S3 4 units antminer S5 Low power half DH / Piece 2000Gh/sS78GB512 KB1UNon-ECC Seller: dave2014 Positive Feedback Report Item 2017 new Ebit E9 Miner 6.5T Bitcoin Newest 14nm Asic only 1000w Btc Miner Better Than S7 Equivalent to Antminer S9 DHL SHIPPING / Piece 2000Gh/skuangchengStockE9 Seller: dave2014 Positive Feedback Report Item Free shipping.Top sale Avalon 3th 3.6G Fashion Bitcoin miner,Bitcon asic USB miner asics22 for mining bitcoin USB / Piece 3.6Gh/s Bitcon minerYesfor mining BitcoinAvalon III USBusb tcpusb tv tuner pal Seller: jingdong28 Positive Feedback Report Item 5 Best gift for smart R I N G Smart phone control the phone Networking & Communications bitcoin Miners Asic Bitcoin Miners The high-tech Smart / Piece 2000Gh/s100Avalon28nm Seller: joey1994 Positive Feedback Report Item 2017 MINER SUPPLIER SELL BTC miner Antminer S5 1150G 28NM BM1384 Bitcoin mining machine ASIC miner with power supply / Piece 2000Gh/sS5 1150GNO10/100MbpsFull-Duplex & Half-DuplexVLAN Support Seller: dave2014 Positive Feedback Report Item Bitcoin pcb bitcoin miner bitcoin asic manufacturer Pcb&Pcb Assembly Pcba SMT DIP BGA Rigid Round LED PCB, LED Bulb PCB Factory in Guangzhou / Piece FR-4,CEM-1,CEM-3,Rogers,Aluminium, HTg13Mass production: 3mil/3milYESBy mechanical drilling: 0.15mm (0.006");0.2 mm-3.2mmHASL / Lead Free HASL;
