Buy LitecoinLitecoin (LTC) is a cryptocurrency that was created from a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain. It was established by former Google engineer Charlie Lee in 2011. Litecoin was initially designed to address Lee’s concerns about the growing centralization of Bitcoin and to enable faster transactions at reduced cost. It has since evolved into a peer-to-peer payment system.
While you can participate in the Litecoin network using a personal computer, there is little benefit other than satisfaction unless you join a mining pool. Even then, your rewards will be very small because pools pay out based on the amount of work your miner contributes. The CPUs and GPUs in modern computers are not capable of competing with large mining networks.
The most effective method of mining Litecoin is to purchase one or more ASIC miners that are compatible with Scrypt. However, you will still need to join a mining pool because you will be competing with pools that are far more efficient at hashing.
While Litecoin is a Bitcoin fork, there are many differences besides market capitalization and price.
