Binance Points Similarities Between Dogecoin And Litecoin
The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange- Binance has come up with the research for Dogecoin and Litecoin. Binance research team gave the title as “Case Study: Merged Mining in Dogecoin and Litecoin” where specific methods are discussed about cryptocurrencies survival for their upcoming block reward halvings. The main focus of the research was on Merged Mining. In the merged mining the work is transferred from parent blockchain to child blockchain using the Auxiliary Proof of Work principle. Binace state: “Merged mining refers to the act of mining two or more cryptocurrencies at the same time, without sacrificing overall mining performance. Essentially, a miner can use their computational power to mine blocks on multiple chains concurrently through the use of what is known as Auxiliary Proof of Work (AuxPoW).” Through Binance study the two cryptocurrencies – Dogecoin and Litecoin parameters have increased after the enforcement of merged mining. There was a significant correlation between these two cryptocurrencies with Bitcoin in terms of monthly hash rate changes. Litecoin and Bitcoin pair displays the correlation coefficient of 0.95 while the LTC/BTC pair and the DOGE/BTC pair held coefficients of 0.3 and 0.35. According to Binance research, “This [hashrate correlation coefficient] could potentially signal that factors such as the overall market cap of the industry play an important role in the hashpower dedicated to mining.” Though Dogecoin was considered as ‘meme coin’ but it gave a tough competition to Litecoin on daily on-chain transactions bases. The study shows that Dogecoin recorded more transactions than Litecoin until June 2017 and then onwards for 6 months Litecoin was in lead. Litecoin and Dogecoin have displayed similar numbers in daily on-chain transactions. The users were informed about the few disadvantages of merged mining that miners have to face. It was considered a tough task for maintaining new child blockchains because of the adjustments required in the wallet management, mining setups and the amount of money to be paid to the miners. The research also pointed out: “Lack of awareness: Some (potentially newer) pools may not be aware of merged mining opportunities and would not be aware of the potential extra rewards.”Explore related on CoinsCapture
