== Sejarah ==
By 2011, Bitcoin mining was largely [[General-purpose computing on graphics processing units|performed by GPUs]]. This raised concern in some users that mining now had a high barrier to entry, and that [[Central processing unit|CPU]] resources were becoming obsolete and worthless for mining. Using code from Bitcoin, a new alternative currency was created called ''Tenebrix'' (TBX). Tenebrix replaced the [[SHA-256]] rounds in Bitcoin's mining algorithm with the ''[[scrypt]]'' function,<ref name="elsevier">{{cite book |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=May 5, 2015 |title=Handbook of Digital Currency: Bitcoin, Innovation, Financial Instruments, and Big Data |publisher=[[Elsevier]] Science |page= |isbn=9780128023518 |editor-last1=Lee |editor-first1=David}}</ref> which had been specifically designed in 2009 to be expensive to [[Custom hardware attack|accelerate with FPGA or ASIC chips]].<ref>{{cite web|title=scrypt page on the Tarsnap website|url=http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt.html|access-date=21 January 2014}}</ref> This would allow Tenebrix to have been "GPU-resistant", and utilize the available CPU resources from bitcoin miners. Tenebrix itself was a successor project to an earlier cryptocurrency which replaced Bitcoin's issuance schedule with a constant block reward (thus creating an unlimited money supply).<ref name="elsevier"/> However, the developers included a clause in the code that would allow them to claim 7.7 million TBX for themselves at no cost, which was criticized by users.<ref>{{cite book |last=Deng |first=Robert H. |date= |title=Handbook of Blockchain, Digital Finance, and Inclusion, Volume 1: Cryptocurrency, FinTech, InsurTech, and Regulation |location=United Kingdom |publisher=[[Elsevier]] Science |page= |isbn=9780128104422}}</ref> To address this, [[Charlie Lee (computer scientist)|Charlie Lee]], a [[Google]] employee who would later become Engineering Director at [[Coinbase]],<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/20/litecoin-charlie-lee-conflict-of-interest/|title=Litecoin founder Charlie Lee has sold all of his LTC|work=TechCrunch|access-date=2018-08-20|language=en-US|archive-date=2021-02-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210221213913/https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/20/litecoin-charlie-lee-conflict-of-interest/|url-status=live}}</ref> created an alternative version of Tenebrix called ''Fairbrix'' (FBX).<ref name="WIRED"/> Litecoin inherits the scrypt mining algorithm from Fairbrix, but returns to the limited money supply of Bitcoin, with other changes.
Lee released Litecoin via an open-source [[Client (computing)|client]] on [[GitHub]] on October 7, 2011. The Litecoin network went live on October 13, 2011.
It was a source code fork of the [[Bitcoin Core]] client, differing primarily by having a decreased block generation time (2.5 minutes), increased maximum number of coins, different hashing algorithm ([[scrypt]], instead of [[SHA-2|SHA-256]]), and a slightly modified [[GUI]].
During the month of November 2013, the aggregate value of Litecoin experienced massive growth which included a 100% leap within 24 hours.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/525867/20131128/litcoin-value-leaps-100-percent-market-cap.htm|title=Litecoin value leaps 100% in a day as market cap passes $1bn|work=International Business Times, UK Edition|first=Alistair|last=Charlton|date=2013-11-28|access-date=2013-12-16|archive-date=2013-12-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203023044/http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/525867/20131128/litcoin-value-leaps-100-percent-market-cap.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=April 2021}}
In May 2017, Litecoin became the first of the top 5 (by market cap) cryptocurrencies to adopt [[Segregated Witness]]. Later in May of the same year, the first [[Lightning Network]] transaction was completed through Litecoin, transferring 0.00000001 LTC from Zürich to San Francisco in under one second.
{{anchor|Walmart hoax}}
In September 2021, a fake press release was published on [[GlobeNewswire]] announcing a partnership between Litecoin and [[Walmart]]. This caused the price of Litecoin to increase by around 30%, before the press release was revealed as a hoax.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-09-13|title=Walmart denies tieup with litecoin, fake statement rattles cryptocurrency|url=https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/press-release-walmarts-litecoin-partnership-is-fake-cnbc-2021-09-13/|access-date=2021-09-13|website=Reuters|language=en}}</ref>
