Litecoin is a cryptocurrency founded in 2011, two years after Bitcoin, by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer. It has features similar to Bitcoin but a different algorithm. The goal of cryptocurrency is to become a medium for daily transactions. When compared to Bitcoin, Litecoin has a faster transaction processing time. Litecoin uses a hashing algorithm called Scrypt. Scrypt is more memory-intensive and slower than SHA-256. But it found greater acceptance in the cryptocurrency community after the 2011 Tenebrix project modified Scrypt to work with regular CPUs for mining. One of Litecoin’s original missions was to discourage enterprise-sized miners from gaining control of the mining process by using a different encryption method. However, miners quickly adapted their specialized machines and continued to grow their mining capacity.
