are there any other coins that have a halving coming or who just have halvings like ltc and btc?

LTC halving is pretty new to me. I know BTC halved to BCH, but not too sure if LTC also halved. Maybe Ethereum will halve too in future to Constantinople.

That's not what halving is. Halving is the when the total Bitcoin distributed per block mined is cut in half. You're talking about a hard-fork.

So far I have only heard of LTC and BTC I did not find another coin.
if you want to know the LTC countdown,

may be useful.

I think a lot of coins that are build from the bitcoin source code may also have halving events if they did not chance specific parts of the code.


As above you can see the original 50 BTC reward and the having as per bitcoin 0.6.0.source.

The best way to check to see if your fav coin has this type of event is to check there github repo for the coin and check main.cpp and search for the word "half" or "nSubsidy".
If the coin has the event it should be shown in the main.cpp file though later code revisions it may be elsewhere.

You referred to fork, fork and halving are two different things. Right now, the block reward for btc is 12.5 BTC per block and it will be reduced 6.25 BTC in 2020. That's what halving is.
OP, I am interested in one PoS coin, namely DeepOnion. The stake reward for the first year was 10%, which has now turned to 5% this year. After this July, it will be 1% stake reward only. Getting ONION will be harder than ever.

AFAIK, ethereum was also supposed to reduce the block reward from 5 ETH  to 3 ETH don't know if they have already done that or not.

As of the beginning of this year, the block reward of Ethereum was reduced by 33 percent. Now miners receive 2 ETH instead of 3 ETH which was the reward before. The block reward reduction in this case was introduced via a hard fork called Constantinople. Unlike BTC and LTC, ETH doesn't have a well defined havling schedule. In theory ETH could have unlimited supply, and I think the dev team is working to change this.

This is the maximum possible reward. In fact, it will be even less. But there is a definite positive sign: there are no significant sales from miners.

I think it would be better for you to go and read and learn about Halving because from this post of yours it seems you don't understand what halving is, so I would advice to learn about what halving is and what Hard Fork is, what you are referring to is Hard fork, which is very different from Halving

I've heard that zcash will also halve by 2020 of October.

Halving means when block reward drop by half as of now miner can earn 12.5 every block when halving occur it will drop to 6.25
BCH is what they called fork its a altcoin generated in bitcoin blockchain

Btc halved to BCH? That's not halving mister ,that's called hardfork ,bitcoin halving is when mining rewards of bitcoin is split into two ,shrinking the size back to half ,Im not aware of LTC doing the same until now though,which is kinda cool

There are many altcoins that decreases mining rewards after several years and since they are programmed like that it is called halving ,litecoin and bitcoin are not the only one with this

Ltc coin is bullish mode and taking advantage of the crypto bull market even ltc halving also giving positive news for ltc pump ltc price may get pump till 200 dollars

This is my first time of getting to know about LTC halving, which has also given me clue on what is actually contributing to the growth of LTC, apart from the general market trend.
If that is the case then, not only BTC will surge as a result of it's halving, but that also LTC will feel the impact of its own halving. This to me is an eye opener.

Ethereum is going to reduce their mining rewards in the future. This was announced like a year ago, but I never heard something about LTC halving. Are you sure about this? Furthermore, it is going to face all the major mining coins sooner or later.

yes ofcourse it will happen, maybe you need to try find this information by your self.litecoin halving will happen on 6 august based o litcoinhalving countdown in site.you can check it by yourself.

nearly all the altcoins have copied bitcoin one way or another so they all have all bitcoin's features including its block reward halving. you have to be more specific about your second part of the question if you want  any particular coin that has halving.

if you are looking for halvings from a speculative perspective then you must know that most of the times there is no price rise in altcoins that have a halving because they get dumped by the miners because of the halving and can't get hyped up either.

There are others coins who have halving, but community focus on more known coins which over time attract investors and are more used than others because they bring more profit and are legit.

 I think you don't fully understand the difference between Hard Fork and Halving. However, this is not the most useful information, and yet you should read about it.

ETH block reward decreased too from 3 ETH to 2 ETH. After the bitcoin halving, it will be pleasing to trade the crypto markets and altcoin also grow slowly if BTC continues to go above the $15000. In the 64 days, LTC block reward also will decrease.

I guess you really need to learn a lot from this community. Stop bounty hunting for a while and learn.  ;D

So far I'm not aware of any coins except Bitcoin and Litecoin if we are talking about block halving. Those two are the only coins so far that reduces the rewards miners do get by mining for those coins. Why those two? Obviously it was how bitcoin was design, and second Litecoin is a fork from Bitcoin. They just put some codes to difference the two, like the total circulating supply but not the block halving.

That was not halving dude, that was forking.
Halving is reduced mining reward when it reached a certain block height.
For example ETH was halving in Feb 2019 from 3 ETH reward per block, to 2 ETH per block.

The only halving I have heard of coming is the LTC and BTC, I don think any other halving is expected again. LTC halving is expected to happen this year while BTC halving is expected to happen next year. The major halving we are all waiting for is the BTC halving as we believe it will contribute as factor to what will make bitcoin surge to the highest vale we have not achieved in the history of bitcoin.

I don’t know much about LTC halving because I don’t hold it, I am not sure I have seen the effect of its halving before, but let us hope that it will be something that will favor its holder and make their investment have high gain.

Halving only really works when it is the coins that many miners pay attention to and are exploiting more coins. I'm not one of the miners and don't know too many coins like that, but I think LTC is still having a great price to buy more. We should only focus on big coins because it attracts more traders and it will be much higher than other small coins.

I really wonder why most people are always eager to see halving of coins as if it will reward everyone generally and make their investment multi-ply beyond imagination, I don’t still understand the concept of it making the price of the coin hike when all we need for a coin to shoot up is either adoption, new investors or whale’s pump.

Seems to me that halving benefits more of miners than investors. If miners dump the coin, then it will affect investors more. Well, I don’t so much rely on the halving that much, except there will be a coincidence and maybe another factor will come then that will turn market around. In

btc to halve on may 2020
bch to halve a month earlier so april 2020
ltc to halve this year

choose one crypto coin and you will be set my friends. just remember to sell when theres bad economic times like 60% crashes . aint nobody got time for that. im selling my bags in the next next halving. see u guys there if i can make it. meaning im not broke.

technically halving effect is like this:
(assuming it is bitcoin) before halving the miners are earning 1800BTC per day and lets say 70% of it is being sold on the market (just an assumption) so that is a daily sale of 1260BTC or nearly $10 million per day.
after halving miners will be earning 900BTC per day and if the same percentage is sold on the market that would be 630BTC or nearly $5 million per day.

so when the amount sold on the market is reduced by half, the price should react to it.
plus we have bitcoin adoption increasing so the demand is rising. the result is an assured price rise.


that is technical part. but the market doesn't work on technicality. it works on speculation specially when it is short term. so price spike occurs BEFORE the halving and there is a spike.


then people see this pattern in bitcoin and extrapolate that data to their altcoins. the hype alone can cause altcoin pumps similar to bitcoin halving hype spike. but the difference would be the lack of adoption of altocins (the demand is not there) so the price rise can not be sustained and it gets dumped back down.

As far as I know many projects are now striving to make a reduction in the total number of tokens, I understand everything that this should affect the price in a good way, I personally heard only for the LTC token that they are going to spend a reduction in the total number of tokens within 60 days.

I searched on google and this is only will have a halving this coming 2020 if you familiar to the history of halving of bitcoin and litecoin you will notice the increase of price happen before halving comes thats why most people considering this halving a good chance to make a profit, I'm also hoping a good profit by holding this coins.

Why do so many people talk about LTC? This is generally a terrible project that was created to enrich its creators. Can't you see that?
