Title: How can any POS coin have a Total Supply? Post by: biggee on July 18, 2017, 10:54:41 AM This maybe a dumb question, but I've searched high and low and I keep finding the the same answer.
"When coins switch to POS, no more new coins are created". If that is the case, where are all the interest payments on coins that are staked coming from? Surely those payments are simply being generated out of thin air (as POW has ended) which means that any POS coin can't have a Max Supply? Or have I got this all wrong?

In fact, doesn't this make POS coins basically a ponzi scheme? Surely only the early stakers are going to make any money and as soon as the staking stops paying out the network will die a death? I totally get POW, even when the block reward ends as there are transaction fees, but POS viability just doesn't seem to have been explained in a way that makes sense to me yet. Even if POS coins were to continue paying out staking rewards from transaction fees this still wouldn't work as there is no way of knowing how much will be generated from TX fees so no way of being able to guarantee a staking reward to investors.

Post by: Vivisector999 on July 19, 2017, 03:59:43 AM I believe once all the coins are in circulation, then the fractions charged to make a transaction would be going into the rewards. Much like how once BTC hits it's limit, it will be running off the (Currently 0.005 BTC) per transaction that is charged. I am hoping they fix that with the fork, as that price is too high atm. If your network is actually functioning, then it can live off the transaction fees quite easily. If on the other hand its just a bunch of people sitting on a pile of coins waiting to trade them one day, well that network will come crashing down when there no longer is any reward.

Most of coins, including PoS, have total supply. But that does not mean the current number of coins in cicruclation is even close to the total supply. It s like saying the total number of XYZ coin will be 1000. However, the current number of coins available on the market is 300. The rest will be minerd/staked over the years. If you re interested in PoS, my best recommendation is DMD Diamond. I have been staking it for over 3 years and it has brought me nothing but PROFITS. Let me know if you need more help.

Post by: habraken on July 19, 2017, 08:07:47 AM With the first 100% PoS coin, NXT, the 'miners' only get the transaction fees that are in the blocks. All coins are in circulation, no new coins are created.
