Topic: Litecoin: how does the client validate the blockchain? (Read 1067 times)
Far too buggy for now
Nope, I'm using a Game Boy miner
cool! Can i have source? please please please!
I'll stay with sha256 then

Scrypt is adjustable in difficulty. In litecoin it's only scrypt(1024,1,1) which is really low and very fast to calculate. Most CPUs can at least do 20,000 scrypt calculations per second, and many new processors can do much better.
That's where my problem is: I'm at 2 scrypt calculations per secondThanks

So that said, it validates the blockchain exactly how you suggested: by hashing each block and making sure the hash is correct given the inputs.

Can someone with an account on a litecoin forum post that question there?
Thanks
Thanks
Knowing that calculating a block hash takes ~0.5s, a new node would validate the entire blockchain in more than 48 hours...
I'm sure it's not the case, so how does the client can validate those blocks?
