Bitcoin Payment
Bitcoin, Litecoin -- these are types of crypto-currencies.

Litecoin PaymentBitcoin is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user-to-user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries.

Litecoin was an early bitcoin spinoff or altcoin. Litecoin is a peer-to-peer crypto currency and open-source software project released under the MIT/X11 license. Creation and transfer of coins is based on an open source cryptographic protocol and is not managed by any central authority.

This is 100% more than I knew a month ago about this subject, and 100% more than the month before that. Perhaps my learning curve is as radical as the rise of Bitcoin. Between being out there working for very sharp small business owners (and very sharp non-profit managers), plus constant studying, I learn more about this subject every day!
