Title: GRW Post by: billhi on August 10, 2013, 04:56:21 PM First announced in Altcointalk.co.uk: http://www.altcointalk.co.uk/index.php/topic,179.0.html GrowthCoin (GRW) - a fork of Diamond, with several algorithms fixed and improved. It is decendent of Novacoin/PPCoin with Pow/PoS. It combines the great features from Luckycoin (random blocks) and Florincoin (transaction message). Proof of stake coin is more resilient to 51% attack. Since 51% hashpower is not enough to execute a 51% attack. The attackers must also have at least 51% stake. GrowthCoin provides monthly interest rate of 5.95%, for stakes that are held during that period of time. This equivalent to an annual interest of 100%. PoS blocks will be generated if the stake are held for more than 5 days (first generation will starts around 9th days). There is a hard limit of 2 billion coins. No Premine!
