Post by: Meher Afroz on February 12, 2018, 07:30:00 AM
Litecoin mining is the processing of a block of transactions into the Litecoin blockchain. Litecoin mining requires solving for algorithms, and being the first to reach a solution is rewarded with tokens as payment.
Litecoin mining is done by specialized computers and hardware. It serves two main purposes:

2) New litecoins are paid out as a reward to miners.
