Short, but interesting, article.<p><pre><code> &quot;Litecoin is orders of magnitude more secure than Bitcoin, due to its use of a cryptography technique called scrypt, which makes it very costly to attack due to the large amounts of memory involved.&quot; </code></pre> I&#x27;m not sure this is true in terms of Litecoin actually being more &quot;secure.&quot; Faster transactions, but I don&#x27;t know that the hash difficulty makes the network more secure.
