AndersonTorres ac4f15b282 Altcoins - a new category of applications
Here, I present a new level of hierarchy on Nixpkgs: the Altcoins.

The idea is to put a single cryptocurrency per file, and build them
using expressions like altcoins.bitcoin. I believe this ordering is
clearer and more maintainable that the current one.

longDescription= ''
Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant payments
to anyone in the world. It is based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs
from Bitcoin in that it can be efficiently mined with consumer-grade hardware.
Litecoin provides faster transaction confirmations (2.5 minutes on average)
and uses a memory-hard, scrypt-based mining proof-of-work algorithm to target
the regular computers and GPUs most people already have.
The Litecoin network is scheduled to produce 84 million currency units.
