What is LightningCash-Gold ?

Lightning Cash Gold is a coin based on scrypt POW algorithm, including DarkGravityWave ( difficulty changes for every block ) and possible CURRENT block difficulty change over time to protect against high network hash variation and long stale tip. For full details, please visit our website at http://lightningcash-gold.com . Compiled binary releases are available on LightningCash-Gold's github.

Lightning Cash Gold Core is the full node software that makes up the backbone of the LTNCG network.

Characteristics

• Hash Algorithm : Modified Yespower POW algorithm ( CPU-Only )

( With the addition of modified Dash's DarkGravityWave v3 algorithm, that changes difficulty every block, and progressively lowers difficulty if long stale tips happens. Tested and fully working !!)

• The Hive : A " hodl and profit " mining system accessible to everyone, that works side by side with POW mining, invented by LitecoinCash's developers !!

• Maximum Supply : 2 100 000 000 LTNCG ( 100 times Bitcoin's total supply )

• Difficulty adjusted every block and possibly in CURRENT block if a long network stale tip happens !! This protects LightningCash-Gold from high hash variations and " high hash attacks " , that happens frequently for new coins and kills them by making the mining difficulty too high for the " normal " network's hash rate. For more info : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5119550 .

• Fast POW / Hive block pair target time of 80 seconds on average !! ( 40 seconds per block )

• Number of confirmations needed for a transaction : 6 ( so a transaction is confirmed on average in 4 minutes only !!! )

• Premine : 22 000 000 coins, barely above 1 % of max supply

• Block Reward : 500 LightningCash ( halved every 2 100 000 blocks, so every 4 years on average )

• Brand New Blockchain !! ( downloading the new blockchain or re indexing it and syncing with the network actually takes less than 5 minute on average with a normal internet speed !!! )
