Learn about Litecoin

Litecoin's history

The interesting journey of Litecoin (LTC) starts on October 7, 2011, when Charlie Lee, a former Google worker, introduced it as a cryptocurrency. The goal of making Litecoin was to make a “lighter” version of Bitcoin with improvements that could help make cryptocurrency more open and fair for everyone. With a different hashing method and faster transaction confirmation times, it was built to do more. It was based on the Bitcoin Core client, but the blockchain and hashing method were different. Litecoin wasn’t just a copy; it was an original cryptocurrency that filled a specific need. When it was first created, it was meant to be the silver to Bitcoin’s gold, highlighting its role as a cryptocurrency that is easier to use for transactions.

Who founded Litecoin?

Charlie Lee, a famous person in the world of cryptocurrencies, introduced Litecoin to the public with the goal of making safe, instant, and cheap peer-to-peer transactions possible. Lee thought that Litecoin would be used for everyday small transactions and Bitcoin would be used for bigger money moves. Lee, who supports openness and equality, has been very important in making Litecoin an open-source project run by the community.

The Litecoin Foundation, a non-profit group that wants to support and develop Litecoin, works hard to make it more useful and accepted. The foundation, which is run by managing director Charlie Lee and is funded by donations, works together to keep Lee’s original idea alive by making sure that Litecoin stays decentralized, safe, and tradeable on a wide range of platforms.

What makes Litecoin unique?

There are a lot of cryptocurrencies out there, but Litecoin stands out because of its unique features and forward-thinking design. One might wonder what makes Litecoin different from other cryptocurrencies.

Transactions that happen faster:
It is built so that Litecoin can confirm deals four times faster than Bitcoin. This not only speeds up the proof of transactions, but it also lets it handle more transactions in the same amount of time.

Democratized mining:
Not only does the Scrypt algorithm make Litecoin different from Bitcoin in a technical sense, but it also makes it more fair by letting more people use regular computers to mine.

Availability:
The Litecoin cryptocurrency is widely accepted and mentioned on many cryptocurrency exchanges, making it easy to buy, sell, and trade on many platforms. Also, the fact that it can be stored and sent using a lot of different wallets makes it very safe and easy for users to do so.

Scalability:
Litecoin makes sure it can handle a lot of transactions without any problems by using scaling methods and faster block generation times. This way, transaction efficiency stays the same even as the number of users grows.

Wide acceptance as a way to pay:
There are many stores and sellers around the world that accept Litecoin as payment for goods and services. This shows that it can be used as a “spendable” cryptocurrency.

Community building and active living:
Litecoin has a large and active community that helps with its development, marketing, and use. This makes sure that it continues to change and adapt to the constantly changing cryptocurrency environment.

We weave together Litecoin’s past, how it works, who runs it, and its unique qualities to tell the story of a cryptocurrency that has not only survived but also thrived in the ebb and flow of the digital currency era. It has made its own mark in the wide world of cryptocurrencies, and Litecoin continues to represent the goals of decentralized, open, and fair finance. It also moves forward Charlie Lee’s original vision of making a lighter, easier-to-use version of Bitcoin that could work with our everyday transactions.

In order to complete identity verification, have your passport or driver’s license ready as well as a device with your camera. Then begin your verification, take an image of your passport or driver’s license and take a live selfie of your face. Once done, you will have to wait for the system to verify your identity. This usually takes 5-10 minutes. If you have to verify your address, we need a document that is no older than 3 months old. This can be a bank statement, rent agreement, water bill, utility bill, etc. If you experience problems or have any questions about the process, please message us in our livechat. Identity verification is required in order to comply with money laundering regulations.
