Times as often).Today, you can use Litecoin in much the same way as bitcoin. A growing number of online merchants accept Litecoin for products and services. Many people see Litecoin as a good investment. It’s one of the most stable coins you can buy, and has avoided much of the volatility in the surrounding crypto industry.PEERCOIN When Peercoin launched in 2012, it looked like it could be the next big cryptocurrency. Six years later, Peercoin has never lived up to that potential, but it’s still actively available on cryptocurrency exchanges, and sits close to the top 100 coins in terms of market cap.Peercoin is worth mentioning when we talk about altcoins because it played an important role in the rise of altcoins during the early days of the crypto industry. Peercoin, or PPC, introduced a hybrid proof of work / proof of stake mechanism. In other words, Peercoin allowed users to mine cryptocurrency with the processing power of their computers, but it also allowed users to earn rewards by staking their Peercoins.Proof of stake requires far less energy than proof of work. Soon after launch, many were calling Peercoins an eco-friendly alternative to bitcoin.Peercoin generates two types of blocks, including proof of stake and proof of work blocks. The proof of work blocks function in a similar way to bitcoin. The proof of stake blocks, meanwhile, have a unique reward mechanism. With PoS rewards on Peercoin, the reward is calculated as the product of the number of coins in the transaction output multiplied by the time since those funds were last spent.Transaction fees are fixed at 0.01 Peercoin. However, those transaction fees are destroyed during the transaction. Users who mint blocks (through PoW or PoS) do not receive a transaction fee (like they do with bitcoin). Instead, they just receive the block reward. That block reward is set at a 1% annual rate, which means in the long run, the inflation rate for Peercoin will be 1% minus the fees destroyed during all Peercoin transactions.DOGECOIN Dogecoin, or DOGE, is another cryptocurrency that made headlines in the early days of the industry. Launched in 2013, Dogecoin was built as a clone of Litecoin. There weren’t really any major innovations in the way Dogecoin worked: the main innovation was its marketing strategy. 2012 was the year the world famous “doge” meme hit the internet, and DOGE capitalized on this trend.
