Litecoin Creator Gives Update on Mining Difficulty Post Halving
Litecoin [LTC] underwent its halving schedule on 5th August as the rewards for miners were reduced by half. Litecoin [LTC] creator, Charlie Lee reported successful halving and also reiterated that the mining ecosystem is as healthy as before.
However, some users felt that the analysis of the mining difficulty or hash rate was reported far too early. The difficulty changes are reflected in a couple of days.
According to the most recent update, the hash rate is down only 4.4%, which reflects that only the least profitable miners left the system. He tweeted,
Litecoin has had its first difficulty change since the halving at block 1681344. Difficulty dropped from 15930321 to 15234158, which is a 4.4% drop in difficulty/hash rate.
While Bitcoin is growing a store of wealth, Litecoin has been aiming the payments sector. Nevertheless, volatility has been one of the significant issues of crypto-adoption as a currency.
Moreover, the price of Litecoin [LTC] has also dropped by 15% since the halving occurred. The selling pressure in altcoins has engulfed LTC as well. Nevertheless, it is still trading around 180% higher from its lows at $30.
The price of Litecoin [LTC] at 4: 45 hours UTC on 10th August is $86.5. It is trading 3.12% lower on a daily scale.
