Pros
- Light coin is an encryption currency that is very similar to bitcoin in many ways. It is maintained through an agreement algorithm called proof of work (PoW) using P2P network. As a result, all users' transactions are stored in the block, and these blocks are chain-connected, so that all participants in the network have the same transaction record. As such, all transaction records are implemented only in a decentralized structure without a centralized transaction logging database.
Cons
- The total amount of Tcoins is set at 21 million. However, lightcoins are four times more than bitcoins, as they are planned to issue 84 million.
