Title: Which POS coin has the longest POW distribution mining phase?
Post by: Joesixpack9000 on May 23, 2014, 09:31:03 AM
Just wondering with the recent trend of super short POW distribution mining phases for most POS coins (generally less than 2 weeks, with some less than 1 week), are there ones that have a longer and fairer POW distribution phase before the transition over to POS?

I'm looking for POS coins to invest in, but ideally ones with a fairer distribution. I'm not interested in the ones where only a select group of miners get to own a huge chunk of the coin before anyone else has a chance to fairly enter the market.

MINT and ECC both had longish pow periods. PND was originally a POW coin and then it went POS. PND is the longest but not everyone knew it was going to fork to pos.

PND has over 3 months of distribution, right now it has the highest "difficulty" - that's significant if you are looking for fair distribution and coins off the exchange.

If you are interested.  Awesome dev.  Didn't think they could pull it off but they did. 

World's first clean transition from PoW to PoS.

I am supporting.
