as of 18 April 2020 at a price of approximately $305.

莱特币 (Litecoin, LTC) 是受比特币(BitCoin, BTC) 的启发而推出的改进版数字货币，由一名曾任职于谷歌的程序员设计并编程实现 , 2011年11月9日发布运行。莱特币与比特币在技术上具有相同的实现原理，但莱特币的创造和转让基于一种开源的加密协议，不受到任何中央机构的管理。

Litecoin (LTC), an improved digital currency inspired by BitCoin, BTC, designed and programmed by a Google programmer, was released on November 9, 2011. Laitcoin and Bitcoin technically have the same rationale for realization, but the creation and transfer of Lightcoin is based on an open source encryption agreement that is not regulated by any central agency.

莱特币是一种基于“点对点”(peer-to-peer)技术的网络货币，也是MIT/X11许可下的一个开源软件项目。它可以帮助用户即时付款给世界上任何一个人 。莱特币由一名曾任职于谷歌的程序员(李启威)设计并编程实现，2011年1月9日发布运行。

Letcoin is a network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology and an open-source software project licensed under MIT/X11. It helps users pay instantaneously to any person in the world.

莱特币是受比特币的启发而推出的改进版数字货币。莱特币的技术原理与比特币相同，也是采用去中心化的架构、无任何中心机构控制、新币发行和交易支付转让都是基于开源的加密算法等等这些都是模仿比特币的设计原理。

Lightcoin is an improved version of digital currency inspired by bitcoin. The technical principles of Lightcoin are the same as that of bitcoin. It is also based on decentralized structures, no central agency controls, new currency issuance and transactional payment transfers based on open source encryption algorithms, and so on.

但是，莱特币尽量改进了比特币之前已经表现出的缺点，如交易确认太慢、总量上限偏少、工作量证明机制导致大矿池的出现等等SHA256算法 。莱特币旨在改进比特币，与其相比，莱特币具有三种显著差异。

However, Lettco has tried to improve the shortcomings that Bitcoin has demonstrated before, such as the slowness of the transaction recognition, the small amount ceiling, the workload certification mechanism that led to the emergence of the big pits, and the SHA256 algorithm. Lettco is designed to improve bitcoin, which has three significant differences.

第一，莱特币网络每2.5分钟（而不是10分钟）就可以处理一个块，因此可以提供更快的交易确认。第二，莱特币网络预期产出8400万个莱特币，是比特币网络发行货币量的四倍之多。

First, the Lettco network can handle a block every 2.5 minutes (rather than 10 minutes), so it can provide faster confirmation of transactions. Second, the Lettco network is expected to produce 84 million Lettco dollars, four times more than the amount of currency issued by the Bitcoin network.

第三，莱特币在其工作量证明算法中使用了由Colin Percival首次提出的scrypt加密算法，这使得相比于比特币，在普通计算机上进行莱特币挖掘更为容易。每一个莱特币被分成100,000,000个更小的单位，通过八位小数来界定 。

Third, Letco used the Scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival in its workload certificate algorithm, making it easier to dig for Letco on a normal computer than it did in Bitcoin. Each of the Letcoins is divided into 100,000 smaller units, defined by eight decimals.
