  • Nicholas Constable The Code Used To Create
    Bitcoin Was Released Into The Public Domain Or
    Made Open Source - By The Mysterious Creator,
    Satoshi Nakamoto. This Means That Anyone Can Take
    It, Modify It And Use It To Launch Their Own
    Cryptocurrencies. Which Many People Have Done
    And Litecoin Was One Of The First To Gain
    Traction.

  • Although It Was Originally Based On The Same
    Code, Bitcoin And Litecoin Transfers Are Recorded
    On Entirely Separate Blockchains, Effectively
    Meaning They Are Different Currencies.
  • Litecoin Was Created In 2011 By Former Google
    Engineer Charlie Lee. The Aim Was To Create A
    Blockchain-based Currency Which Would Solve Some
    Of The Problems Inherent To Bitcoin In
    Particular The Slow Transfer Speeds.

  • When It Was Launched In 2009, Bitcoin
    Transactions Would Take Around 10 Minutes To
    Complete. Due To The Growth In Size Of The
    Network And The Bitcoin Blockchain, Today
    Transactions Can Take Anywhere Between 30 Minutes
    And, In Extreme Cases, Over 24 Hours.

  • Another problem that Litecoin was designed to
    solve was the mining arms race. Mining the
    process by which new Bitcoins and Litecoins are
    created involves using computer processing
    power to run complex algorithms, creating new
    blocks on the blockchain. Once Bitcoins started
    to be traded for real currencies like US
    dollars, Bitcoin mining quickly evolved into an
    arms race as miners threw increasing amounts of
    processing power into creating coins more
    quickly.

  • Litecoin Mining, However, Being Based On An
    Algorithm Known As Scrypt, Rather Than The SHA256
    Algorithm Of Bitcoin, Couldnt Be Accelerated So
    Easily Simply By Upping The Amount Of Processing
    Power Being Thrown At The Problem. This Was
    Designed To Lead To The Supply Of Litecoins
    Increasing At A Steadier Rate.
