Horyou, is a unique platform for social good, allowing to share ideas, be inspired and help each other. Horyou connects individuals, organizations and entities fostering social good (https://www.horyou.com/). Blockchain is one of the latest revolutionary technologies. It has taken industries by storm and shown a new way of embracing technology with the most advanced concepts of decentralization, inclusion and participation. Blockchain technology holds great promise. However, up until now, a plethora of interests has flooded Blockchain platforms and projects with speculative strategies, driven by greed and speculation rather than vision and passion. At a time when society is facing worldwide challenges including those mentioned within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we believe in technological advancements that create a fairer, more inclusive and more sustainable world. So, how can Blockchain be at the service of social good? At Horyou, we believe in Blockchain supporting decentralization and bringing social good everywhere in the world. We call it Blockchain with a Purpose. We're introducing HoryouToken, our utility token built on top of Ethereum Blockchain to fuel the virtuous circle of Horyou interactions. HoryouToken makes it possible for anyone to participate in social good by providing access to a traceable and intelligent philanthropic redistribution service called 'Proof of Impact'.
Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee. It was created based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs in terms of the hashing algorithm used. Litecoin uses the memory intensive Scrypt proof of work mining algorithm. Scrypt allows consumer-grade hardware such as GPU to mine those coins. Why Litecoin? Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has evolved from Bitcoin after its own popularity in the industry, this alternative, or ‘altcoin’ has emerged to allow investors to diversify their digital currency package, according to Investopedia. Litecoin is one of the most prominent altcoins and was created by former Google employee and Director of Engineering at Coinbase, Charlie Lee. Litecoin was the first to alter Bitcoin and the most significant difference is that it takes 2.5 minutes for Litecoin to generate a block, or transaction, in comparison to Bitcoin's 10 minutes. ‘While this matters little to traders, miners who use hardware to run Bitcoin's network cannot switch over to Litecoin. This keeps bigger mining conglomerates away from Litecoin because they cannot easily optimize their profits by swapping to another coin, contributing to a more decentralized experience. Litecoin also has bigger blocks, and more coins in circulation, making it more affordable and swift when transacting,’ Investopedia explained. As explained above, Litecoin can transact a lot faster than Bitcoin, but there are also a number of other characteristics that investors need to know before trading. Litecoin can handle higher volumes of transactions because of the capability of transacting faster and if Bitcoin attempted to transact on the scale of its altcoin, a code update would be needed. However, Litecoin’s blocks would be larger, but with more ‘orphaned blocks'. The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks - this is theoretical in the case of both networks having the same hashing power. Litecoin Technical Details: The transaction confirmation time taken for Litecoin is about 2.5 minutes on average (as compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes). The Litecoin network is scheduled to cap at 84 million currency units. Litecoin has inspired many other popular alternative currencies (eg. Dogecoin) because of its Scrypt hashing algorithm in order to prevent ASIC miners from mining those coins. However it is said that by the end of this year, Scrypt ASIC will enter the mass market.
