Both Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin (BTC) use a POW consensus mechanism, however Litecoin’s mining algorithm is different: it uses Scrypt. Compared to Bitcoin’s SHA256 algorithm, the Scrypt algorithm takes longer to calculate and needs relatively more memory. Miners can choose from various powerful ASIC miners that support Litecoin mining. Please find them in the list below.
