Title: Could PoS not be inflationary in nature? Post by: madmadmax on May 03, 2014, 10:47:06 PM Could PoS block rewards be adjusted the same way as PoW?
Title: Re: Could PoS not be inflationatory in nature? Post by: telepatheic on May 03, 2014, 10:49:25 PM I think you mean deflationary...?
Yes, PoS block rewards can be adjusted the same way as PoW. Title: Re: Could PoS not be inflationary in nature? Post by: madmadmax on May 03, 2014, 11:12:43 PM I think you mean deflationary...? Yes, PoS block rewards can be adjusted the same way as PoW. The title says NOT inflationary. Could you link me to a whitepaper describing the working of deflationary PoS blocks? Seems that most don't offer an actual solution but are rather cheap "hacks" which are all easily exploited. Title: Re: Could PoS not be inflationary in nature?

Sorry I read it as "Couldn't PoS be inflationary in nature?" instead of "Could PoS be not inflationary in nature?" Read Myth 10 on this page http://peercoinmyths.com/ The bottom line is a 2% yearly inflation or whatever number of inflation they set it to is inflationary in nature versus PoW-like linear creation of coins. While the adoption rate might catch up with the inflation thereby driving the price down. Title: Re: Could PoS not be inflationary in nature? Post by: Pumuckel21 on December 24, 2017, 09:53:50 PM of course pos can be iflationary. For example look at these pos coins with an roi of 10000 % or more they are decreasing in value very fast cause the amount is increasing
