LTC/PKR : convertir Litecoin (LTC) en Pakistani Rupee (PKR)

Litecoin (LTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that aims to provide fast, secure, and low-cost payments by leveraging the unique properties of blockchain technology. It was created based on the Bitcoin protocol, but it differs in terms of the hashing algorithm used, hard cap, block transaction times, and a few other factors. Litecoin has a block time of just 2.5 minutes and extremely low transaction fees, making it suitable for micro-transactions and point-of-sale payments. It was designed to be a "lite version of Bitcoin," featuring many of the same properties as Bitcoin, but lighter in weight.

Litecoin operates on a blockchain-based system, secured by incredibly strong cryptographic defenses, making it practically impossible to crack. Like Bitcoin and several other cryptocurrencies, Litecoin uses the Proof of Work consensus algorithm to ensure transactions are confirmed quickly and without errors. The combined strength of the Litecoin mining network prevents double-spends and a range of other attacks, while ensuring the network has 100% uptime. As of January 2021, 66.245 million LTC have already been mined out of a total maximum supply of 84 million.

Litecoin aims to be a practical alternative to traditional currencies, offering fast and cost-effective transactions. Its main benefit comes from its speed and cost-effectiveness. Litecoin transactions are typically confirmed in just minutes, and transaction fees are nearly negligible. This makes it an attractive alternative to Bitcoin in developing countries, where transaction fees may be the deciding factor on which cryptocurrency to support. As of January 2021, Litecoin is one of the most widely accepted cryptocurrencies, with more than 2,000 merchants and stores now accepting LTC across the globe.

Litecoin was released via an open-source client on GitHub on Oct. 7, 2011, and the Litecoin Network went live five days later on Oct. 13, 2011. Since then, it has grown in both usage and acceptance among merchants and has counted among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization for most of its existence. The cryptocurrency was created by Charlie Lee, a former Google employee, who intended Litecoin to be a "lite version of Bitcoin." Today, Charlie Lee is an outspoken advocate of cryptocurrencies and is the managing director of the Litecoin Foundation, a non-profit organization that works alongside the Litecoin Core Development team to help advance Litecoin.
