WTF??? Your poll is fucked, i voted for HBN but it shows 1 vote for Librex  >:(

Add StealthCoin

This poll allows you to change your vote.

How? i don't see any option to modify my vote.

How can you not include Bitshares and Nxt in a "best PoS coin" poll.  ::)

Crypti and NEM should be in there too, since they have different and innovative PoS algos.

Missing QUITE a few PoS coins Bottlecaps being notable.

This poll intentionally missed many POS coins.
The reason is very simple:
   This poll wants people to only post reply of their favorite POS coin. Not just any POS coin, only their  favorite POS coin.

Hmm so no ones favorite is Peercoin, Novacoin, CAPs, Blackcoin, BTS or NXT? Every coin on that list with the exception of Bitgem was a fork of these... Just saying poll is kinda lacking.

Have to agree. Poll is very much lacking. The fair way would be to put together a list of all the active POS coins, then have poll rounds to determine the best of the bunch.

You forgot the part where you can reply to this thread with your Favorite coin to be added to the list for voting.
This is one way how we can keep this thread on top.

That's right. Without NEM this poll isn't serious!

NEM is not launch yet, how can it be listed?
Has anyone actually hold NEM coins?

Then I humbly request Premine Plus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673760.0) be added to the poll. Thanks.

You can buy NEMstakes right there.
(btw: atm the stakeprice is cheap  ;))


Beta testing end of september, distribution of real coins two weeks later.

If everything goes as planned of course. Nothing is carved into stone.

Add Incognito coin (ICG)

Edit: nvm

add fibre! :D

a "poll" on bitcointalk.org is usually current audit of how many active sock puppets are on here at any one time.

let me just get that number for you....

looks like a pretty quiet evening only about 12 sock puppets.

The ironic part is that the poll leaves out the only PoS coin to solve the Nothing At Stake attack in a decentralized manner.. Bitshares.

This may come as a shock to a Mr. Quark...
But HoboNickels actually rocks if you know how and when to trade/stake this baby.

Looking for BLU can't find it.

Add XCurrency and mintcoin

I can't believe BitShares BTSX does not get more discussion around here.  Their forum is quite active and they are actually bringing working innovation to the table.  These are some threads I compiled that helped me acquire the background needed to understand BTSX.  I am curious to see what others think about it from a technical standpoint, I don't care about pricing etc...

http://mmxivcoin.com

Added to the list for voting.

CaptCoin , No doubt !

Solarcoin will be in about 2 days pos

I will add Nemcoin to the list after it launch.

I'm a hobo junky

+1 to DPOS in BitShares
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/DPOS

+10

mintcoin is dead, no sense adding it.

Anyways, voted for bitshares x

This poll seems to dislike certain coins.

Hyperstake yo!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=678849.0

Yes, I have to hand it to you...

Can't vote yet but if I could it would be bitshares by far.

Where is the mother of all PoS coins - Peercoin (PPC)?

Just added Peercoin

Bitshare is not pos

I find it strange then even high interest pos coin don't hold the value on the exchange

A guided poll? Sorry, but we aren't here in North Korea where you only can choose between KiM JONG UN and KIM JONG UN!  ;D

BitSharesX is PoS (DPoS, a more centralized variant), BitShares PTS is PoW. So the OP should perhaps change "Bitshares" to "BitsharesX".

BitSharesX DPoS of course

I changed it to BitSharesX.

u cna add EXCL [my sig] even tho 2% PoS is jut to protect network

Some of the best PoS currently not listed, OP should add more coins in the list.

i sugest signaturecoin ( sign ) as a good staking coin , works great for me

I'm surprised BitsharesX got the most votes so far. I myself voted for NXT as I believe it is one of the most stable if not the most stable PoS coin out there. Plus it's been around for a long time and does not depend on BTC. I'm not very familiar with BTSX but I'm definitely gonna do some research now ;)
Nice list btw  :)

Please add KoreCoin!

Link to the  topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=668886.0).

I am not surprised to see that BTSX and NXT have most votes for.


Why do you think it's unstable? I see another situation. That's good for NXT that it doesn't correlate with BTC but as far as I know BTSX doesn't correlate too. I might be wrong, but this is what I see

FIMK

I/O Coin is the best POS. Its the ONLY coin that has the next-generation POS 3.0. It also has the HTML5 Wallet coming out this week! This coin is a must have!

I/OCoin ANN Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=695855.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=695855.0)

I think you misunderstand, I didn't say BTSX was unstable, I said I didn't know it very well  :) I talking specifically about NXT here which is an older coin that I got to know better over the past months. I was surprised by the number of votes BTSX received because it's a relatively new coin and I didn't realize it was that popular. But I'll read up on it ;)

Dpos all the way

If under "does not depend on BTC" you mean not based at BTC codebase, this is same for BitShares.

Definetley bitshares-x; it's full of innovation and the updates are coming out for it at breakneck speed!

Are you a fan of pickup Trucks, semi trucks, or just trucks?
Congrats to you.
Truckcoin added to the list.

Hyper coin added to list for voting

Please add XMG / Magi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735170.2820) to your list

Thanks for adding HYPER!

If anyone is interested in our cryptocurrency gaming endeavors please see our latest news (I hope no one minds I just want to show people why our 5% monthly PoS coin is working on a very extensive crypto gaming ecosystem):

Some HYPER updates:

HYPER has been mentioned on Cryptocoinsnews: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/hyper-cryptocurrency-gaming/

- Our HYPER Just Cause 2 server is under development
- A HYPER Minecraft Feed The Beast server is also being developed
- The HYPER WoW Arena Tournament will start sometime over the next month
- HYPER Team Fortress server will be live within the next week.
- We have someone working on setting up a HYPER Corporation (which will involve our currency HYPER) in the popular space MMO Eve Online. They are working out the details so as to make sure the HYPER corporation does not break the terms of use for Eve Online.

Some accounting updates:

- The Old MMO Outreach Fund at http://hyper.blockexplorer.cc/address/HJCFQjBCapWiTQUiAZ66BVsdycFBK12Auz is down to 21 000 HYPER after funding HYPER giveaways (http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?board=10.0), HYPER game servers, the HYPER Federation (http://twitter.com/Hyperfed) and more.

- psybits has been staking the MMO Development Fund as per the wishes of all who voted in the HYPER poll. I have requested 60 000 HYPER from this to help pay development funds for the new HYPER servers and associated competitions. This will leave over 550 000 HYPER remaining in escrow with psybits: this 550 000 HYPER principal will continue to be staked to help fund more HYPER projects. This 550 000 HYPER is a core asset of the HYPER project and will be used to fund the main HYPER Space MMO development, and further HYPER game servers and initiatives.

- 5000 HYPER has been given to Dave Seaman and the HYPER Federation, to help secure real-world HYPER merchants (shops, etc) who will accept HYPER as a payment method, in LA in the US.

New HYPER investment fund to be launching:

- To help increase liquidity and value of HYPER on the exchange at https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-HYPER I will be launching a HYPER investment fund on the NXT Asset Exchange. Investors will be able to purchase shares with NXT. This NXT will be converted into BTC and HYPER will then be purchased with the BTC. Investors will receive 5% interest each month, in NXT, from the staking of the HYPER in the fund. I am expecting to launch this within a week or so. This will raise the profile of HYPER in the crypto community, increase liquidity on the exchange, and increase the HYPER exchange rate due to the buying pressure from the fund.

Maieuticoin because it has a rockstar dev team behind it

YOU FORGOT BITCOINPLUS(XBC).  IT'S AT .002 ON POLONIEX RIGHT NOW.

Why can't i vote for PND.

Perfect! PND voted!  8)

I can't vote yet  :'(

Voted for peercoin, MiracleCoin would also be a great contender but its not on any exchange yet.

+1 PND

why am i not allowed to vote?

So was information regarding Cryptsy and tix. But like we learnt big john, sometimes you just need to suck it up and move on princess

+1 PND

I still can't vote..

Pandacoin hands down

Hello,

I wanted to ask if you could add Bitbar to the list of proof of stake coins worth holding.

With the continuous Proof of Work difficulty/reward  readjustment and the relativly small hash rate that is maintaining the network, POS in this Alternate currency will play a big role.

Either that or I am Delusional... take your pick ;)

Don't worry BitJohn, this is directed at me. He has a personal issue with me for some reason about Maieuticoin now that seems to have renewed his vigor

Mintcoin and Netcoin is not in the list ?

So for me it's MINT, HYP, HBN, CAP and NET.

PEERCOIN AND BLACKCOIN

Add Orbitcoin to the vote, by far the best PoS out there, even if the coin isnt that popular.

PND IS BEST COIN
PND IS ONLY COIN
PND IS LOVE
PND IS LIFE

I prefer Pandacoin too!

Me likey Pandacoin

Me too!

None at all

I'm with these guys.

drop bamboo not bombs

PND my love

Pandacoin  ;D

PND IS FUTURE

Looks like btsx and nxt are tied... the rest are retarded noobs who are homeless students trying to make a living off of pay per clicks earning 100 satoshi at a time.

Herp derp

Missing

Zeit Coin - 25% PoS
XBC - BitCoinPlus - no idea % PoS but is a fun coin to have
THC - Hemp Coin - currently being pumped 500% .. long time staking.

the true innovative coin with great devs and great community is winning :)

agreed  ;D

JackpotCoin

i need that option for my vote !

And I think that's what you need to succeed: community and adoption. What a great time to be alive

Nice, love PND!

blackcoin!

+1 with a shit load of 0's behind it! Great coin. Great community.

Add mintcoin!  :)

pandacoin is the best ;D

Once you go blackcoin, you never go back, boy!

Librexcoin

Yes lxc

I voted for it. :)

Same here. LXC

 8)pnd to da moon ;D

LXC is my choice

Same for me but it doesn't let me vote. Boo hiss!

Blackcoin is killing it

maybe list which ones besides the coin name in the poll to show which have an IPO scam ?

Blackcoin!  Already using BC to create smart contracts with BlackHalo. Black is the new color of trade. 

Blackcoin! The only truly innovative POS coin. It is much more than a coin. It can be used any way you like with BlackHalo.

BlackCoin has the most solid and secure code base for PoS coins.

Ok I got it this is to make Black coin look good....fail.

Btw I couldn't vote, but blackcoin is definitely my first choice, especially because of BlackHalo and NightTrader. It should be obvious at this point that centralized services can't be trusted. BlackHalo and NightTrader are the solution.

Blackcoin is an instamined scam with nothing left but angry bagholders who want to get more people to buy in, so they can bail out without taking a loss.

I would say nextcoin

I agree. And having newbies come in here four or five deep all voicing their support for the same exact feature really does nothing to help the reputation.

I know it's hard to handle the fact that BC has so much support, but do you really need to stoop to the level of FUD? You know full well that the mining phased was fair and announced well in advanced, so please stop this nonsense. And how is it a "scam" when there are still countless of devs working on the coin? Maybe you should try to promote your own coin instead of bashing other coins that are making a real effort to advace in the crypto world.

Black and XC, i'm holding a fair amount of both of them but the fav black.

http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=a_massive_investigation_of_instamines_and_fastmines_for_the_top_alt_coins#blackcoin

The author of this page didn't do anything except scan the blockchain.  Apparently knew nothing about the history, devs or great community.  Yes, there was a pre-mine but it was announced, it was open and at least a thousand of us were mining millions of blackcoins during the pre-mine.  Active devs like rat4 (PoS, PoS 2.0), David Zimbeck (BlackHalo smart contracts, NightTrader) and Blackwave Labs (Blackbit, Ruby Wallet, BC-centric Exchange) continue to work this coin.

Yet your official topic said "no premine". this smells even more like a huge coverup for a scam.

PandaCoin [PND] ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥  ;D

Blackcoin is head and shoulders above the rest.  So much game changing development going on. 

http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/a-look-at-seven-current-blackcoin-projects-under-development

http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin/comments/27lz3h/blackcoin_projects_overview/

This poll should have a different name, something like
"Vote for the coin you have the most of"

BlackCoin had no premine, and also the analysis you cited doesn't claim that. Every initial distribution model of a PoS coin happened in a short time, in BlackCoin through a short PoW phase. People quickly use the term "instamining" which is actually a term for PoW coins with a ridiculous block halvening policy.

The current distribution of BlackCoin is better than in most alt coins. Regardless if you think that BlackCoin is a good investment or not, you will hardly find a second PoS coin code base that contributed so much to the cryptocurrency community. Several coins in the voting are BlackCoin forks btw.

Thank you for what seems to be an intelligent response with useful information!

Pandacoin's distribution phase was 95 days long. 95 days of fair mining during our POW phase.

So, "every distribution model of a PoS coin" did not happen in a short time. Ours didn't. :)

That's why Pandacoin is the fairest and most secure PoS coin in the world.

noerc, what was the length of the PoW phase for BlackCoin? 

Note: I hold mostly PND, but I AM interested in the real debate and answers to this poll.  I am new enough to not be opinionated yet.

According to the think above, 1/3 of all Blackcoins in existence were distributed in 3 days.

Nice to hear that Pandacoin had a long PoW phase. I think miners generally have a more speculative incentive when mining a PoS coin that is in PoW phase compared to when mining a PoW coin. It will be interesting to evaluate in a year how different distribution phases influenced the final distribution.

BlackCoin had 10000 PoW blocks, the first was mined on 24th of February and the last was mined on 1st of May (60 sec block time). Each PoW block up to block 5000 contained 10000 BC, which was then halved to 5000 BC until block 10000, resulting in a total cap of roughly 75M BC. A giant hype after the PoS phase was entered lead to a massive raise and sell off which further influenced the distribution (hard to say how exactly).

My personal opinion is that once there is one PoS coin that attracts a market capitalization similar to Bitcoin then there will be a storm of people trying to exploit every critical aspect of the protocol that exists. And there are well known problems with PoS. Focusing the development on security is much more important in PoS coins than in Bitcoin, and even there it is the primary topic. And I see BlackCoin following exactly this path.

Thank you!

LibrexCoin all the way!

I have taken it upon myself to ask questions.  To help educate me.  Why Librexcoin?

Not true. Maieuticoin was also 100% mined out as MMXIV before the switch to Maieuticoin

I would also argue all day about the most secure. Not only are we forked from the newest PPC directly (not a clone of a clone), but we also offer offline staking, which results in far greater blockchain security than ever seen before

Pandacoin pnd

BlackCoin [BC]

blkfeed.com :)

I think it doesn't matter that most blackcoins were mined in the first days. Most of that coins are already sold and we have a good distribution now (check block explorer) - better than bitcoin is distributed. Price is also low so that you can buy decent amounts of it :).

OK, I needed to check my definitions.  I was calling the Blackcoin initial PoW phase the "pre-mine".  No coins were pre-mined.  At least a thousand of us or more were mining it during the PoW phase and it was announced well in advance.  BC has devs attending conferences worldwide, Coinkite adoption, multiple pairings on Bittrex, active devs and now working smart contracts.  Sorry FUDers.

Pandacoin it is then.

Pandacoin is obviously the best PoS coin with arguably the best dev teams (the dedication and skills) in all of cryptoworld.

To clarify, no one said anything about blackcoin being premined.

There was, apparently, however, about 25 million blackcoins mined over the course of a 3 day period of time, according to the report above.

That would be considered a fastmine or an instamine by usual definitions.

Unless that report is incorrect.

I am new so sorry if this is a dumb question.  Wouldn't offline staking easily confuse a lost wallet with offline staking and then really be wrong on the blockchain security /distribution?

Voted Librecoin. It's the mobile friendly coin and has a great dev team.  ;D

Same here . I'd vote and vote for LXC but I can't. :-\

OP, how about you remove some of the coins that have 0 votes and add some that people here have actually recommended be added to the poll?

I was really surprised that PandaCoin is so popular :).

1. It seems to be a fair coin. I will buy some of them.
2. What has the panda to do with money? Has it any special markets? Or is it just the panda because everybody likes pandas? ;D

Thank you.

Couldn't agree more :).  The physical panda coin is actually a Chinese bullion coin and PandaCoin has a strong and active community in Asia.  And yeah, everyone likes pandas ;)

Fibre

Blackcoin ^

Pandacoin was originally made to counter a wolong scamcoin, recently pandacoin succeeded in killing the wolong scamcoin by getting it removed from the markets.

The devs have created something much more than a counter-coin now.

Innovative features such as a browser miner to introduce new non-technical users to cryptocurrency and buypnd which allows PayPal to PND transactions.
The devs are always active and are always planning new releases/ features that actually work.

No IPO/ICO, premine, none of that stupid shit, pure fair distribution. Started with PoW and after a community vote it switched to PoS.

There are two official multipools so you can still earn PND.

+1 for pandacoin

+1 for Blackcoin.   So no premine for Blackcoin, but Pandacoin had a 3% premine?  Im just learning about Panda now. I found that info on an original reddit post.  How is Panda more than a new brand for Doge but with 2.5 minute blocktimes?  Is there offline staking, but isn't the network more secure if everyone is online staking like for Blackcoin's PoW2.0?

Maybe you're reading the wrong article. PND have NO premine and with 3 months of PoW phase before transitioning to PoS.

Link here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=568529

also, feel free to join us in IRC if you have any questions at #pandacoinPND @ irc.freenode.com

http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=a_massive_investigation_of_instamines_and_fastmines_for_the_top_alt_coins

" For those of us keeping track, Blackcoin was launched Februrary 24th at 6:00 (no indication is given what time zone this is) 21). Block 4100 commenced on February 27th at 6:15. In 3 days…Blackcoin produced some 40 million coins (or 50 million). Now they rest at around 75 million coins and only PoS occurs from here.

This is photographic evidence that supports our brief searching of the blackcoin blockchain. The majority of the first 10000 blocks were PoW, and since they were all producing 1,000 BC, the bulk of the coins were made within one week. Anyone should be highly skeptical of the start of this coin. Who would think that the creator of this coin is thinking about enriching your pockets and not theirs?"

66% of blackcoins created in 3 days to a select group of scammers. Blackcoin is an instant-mined scam that got pumped up high, and original group of scammers that got hold of the 66% of blackcoins already left the coin laughing to the bank already, leaving bagholders left to defend the fort.

Your move now blackcoin shill.

Pandacoin had the longest PoW phase of any PoS coin on earth.

Pandacoin had 0 premine, 0 instamine, 0 fastmine, no IPO, 100% fair distribution for nearly 100 days.

Pandacoin has the most professional and highly skilled development team of any coin on the market.

Pandacoin is looking to expand past the crypto-crowd and into the global mass-markets, and has the talent to accomplish it with developments like the Panda Bank, and the Crypto Crash Course, making Pandacoin familiar and easy to understand.

The amount of innovation, skill, and sheer devotion to fairness, quality, and ethical business, is exactly what will bring Pandacoin to the top.



Blackcoin with it's 66% fastmine, extremely short PoW phase for a very tightly knit distribution, and unfulfilled promises of developments that will never come, will leave you dissatisfied; I guarantee it.

ouch.

Wow.  Pandas are defensive.  Didn't answer my questions though.  I investigate before I buy and I found this:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=460037.0 for Pandacoin.  Is that out of date or it was the wrong article?  Did the coin reboot or something?  Blackcoin seems fairly distributed and I got in late but still got lots.  They post their distribution on their reddit. http://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-blackcoin-addresses.html.  I bought into blackcoin because a friend who mined in the POW phase told me about it.  For BC their goal is mainstream adoption and now I use it to sell gold using halo smart contracts on Blackauctions.  No one else has usable smart contracts right now as far as I know.  Sniping at me wont make me a Panda but I might buy anyway if it looks distinctive.  At least you sound civil cadexn and yes the page I found is different from what everyone is telling me here.

do you have selective reading? cause you don't seems to want to read my post.  let me quote it again for you




EDIT: I just realized you read my post. but you should really get on IRC it'll answer your questions much quicker and clearer
in case you don't have IRC client, you can access thru the web here bit.ly/1ouMrmI

Pandas are defensive because of 2 main things:

1) We are against all scams: ICO/IPO/instamine/fastmine/premine. We've done a lot of efforts putting scams out of business and refunding people who lost coins in scams. Our topic once get banned for 30 days because we offered to pay a compensation to all people who lost coins in a particular scam. (bitcointalk saw this as a giveaway and banned our topic). We have a very long and rich history and we managed to "kill" 2 competing scamcoins (one of the topic you mentioned) with the same name. We are the only one that survived (and stronger than ever ;)). So our community is very strong and loyal and always try people to do their own research when they want to invest in coins. You will very rarely see someone pushing to buy PND, yes we are amazing but we're not some coin with kiddies that just say "buy buy! moon! moon!".

2) We've come a very long way, we were down to 3 litoshi at one point but we (the devs and the community) didn't give up. We (the devs) kept working very hard and have at this point already accomplished some things that makes us very different from other coins. We're creating the first coin that is easy to use, easy to mine, easy to buy and easy to understand. Because we've come from such a long way, the community is very close-knit. We support eachother, mess with one of us and you mess with all of us ;)

Feel free to read up on a post I created last friday: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=568529.msg9232641#msg9232641 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=568529.msg9232641#msg9232641)

My personal opinion: Blackcoin is doing some things right and some things not. I'm not going into details on this. Also distribution is a bit strange and the richlist is not that well distributed actually. Top 5 owning more than 16% of coins is not ideal.
That being said: you should only invest in coins that you think are right for you: do your research and my advice is to only invest in coins that have been around a while and that still have active devs. Chances are too high that new coins are scams.

The Maieutice Snowball: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=828734.0

you can add ecc..

Its really sad how sophisticated and diligent cryptocurrency development branches fight each other in those forums. Luckily developers who meet on conferences are usually very kind and professional to each other.

The whole problem is probably that everyone thinks that his favored altcoin will replace Bitcoin one day, ignoring the fact that if there is a blockchain technology that is so much superior to Bitcoin then Bitcoin would of course hard fork to that technology before it dies.

Everything would be so much better and more exciting if all alt coins would be worth nothing. Then developers would work together again and communities would cooperate instead of fighting each other. Sorry for the rant, I don't care where people put their money in, and its also not my business, but when I vote in a "Best Proof of Stake coins" poll, then I distinguish projects regarding their code base and not regarding their investment opportunity (which are absolutely not correlated thanks to speculators).

and one more vote for Maieuticoin  ;D ;D

Apexcoin!!!!!!!!!

Please add Fibre

Thank you

You make a valid point... Although the driving force behind cryptocurrnecy is the community, with that said you are correct, the rivalry is somewhat ridiculous at times and should not be as harsh as it is most of the time.

I vote for Gridcoin. It only started a Proof-of-Stake scheme a few days ago, called Proof of Researcher. It is basically Blackcoin's Proof of Stake 2.0 with a way to cryptographically verify BOINC work. This coin can literally verify any kind of scientific, financial or even commercial brute force computing task. The user can choose from a list of projects entailing folding, climate modeling, high energy physics, finding aliens in space, social-financial simulations, earthquake sensors and even mining BItcoin. A proofhash of the work is stored in a Proof-of-Stake block's header.
This coin is truly revolutionary.

Can you add Apex, it's a great coin with a solid community.

thx

I vote for BlackCoin [BC]

Missed out on the vote... But I vote BlackCoin and BitShares-X.

The voting poll is closed? It still shows up for me. Maybe I'm missing something. I do know the OP never really updated the poll with many other POS coins to vote on.

I can't vote on anything. But my vote goes to blackcoin

PND also has many newbies that cant vote

Blackcoin  :)

Fibre

Blackcoin a shit.

CLAMS should be added to the list.

Just had another:
- even if you dumped it all right this instant, and
- even with the low current BTC->USD exchange rate

$100 Proof-Of-Stake CLAMS lottery winner today.
Get with the program people ;D

HyperStake

+1
this one is worth looking into

I think only BC is worth sth from older ones, dont know about new ones but I dont think they can offer more

Add APEX to the list, thanks bud!

Oh I think we can  ;)

+1 for hyperstake :D

BlackCoin [BC] and PoS 2.0!  8)

Mintcoin

Also, NXT doesn't stake. You can't "forge" any new blocks unless you have over 100,000 NXT, which excludes the vast majority of all holders.

Blackcoin!!!

 ;) BlackCoin [BC]

Fibre ! \o/
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737771.0

Pls add silkcoin

Fibre!

Panda coin has great DRAMA, humour, 1000% fun-factor... and POS!!!  I love it!!!

:)

hehehehe...

Panda!

Fibre!

Why is FIBRE not listed here? It's a pretty well respected coin. On the blocknet and all...

Silkcoin!!

funny i noticed yesterday he had the time to come back and edit the topic title but not to add coins requested LOL

your only allowed to vote for the ones she wants to advertise  ::)

compare titles with my earlier comment here..

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=786993.msg9233710#msg9233710

I agree. I posted a while back that the OP should add the coins being requested, and delete the ones with no votes such as Pinkcoin and Battlecoin. Still no changes to the poll.

Blackcoin!!!

But then I might want to change my vote...

That may be true. But it is not a fair poll if all POS coins are not represented and given a fair chance to be voted on.

Correct. To be a fair poll, you must list all PoS coins trading on one or more exchanges. This is simply a waste of time and does nothing of value otherwise. Hoping we see FIBRE listed soon and the others folks are requesting soon, otherwise treating as a dead thread.

Not surprisingly, BC has taken a clear lead. It just goes to show that our devs are on the right track.

HBN vted as its old

VidioShare [VDO] just added to the list for voting.

Voted LibrexCoin

please add PMP, KTK and ZEIT to the list.

Please add premineplus coin aka PMP and maybe miracle coin MCL.

We want PMP, we want PMP  :)

no CGB?

How can I vote for my Favorite POS coin , when you don't have Zeitcoin on the List?  

 8)

Please Update.   :D

Thanks.

Can add PreminePlus (PMP) ?

Please add Premineplus PMP for voting!

Thank you

Please add PreminePlus (PMP)

link to thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673760.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673760.0)

Could you add KORE Coin please.

I dont get how to vote here... +1 for Socialxbot anyway

Why isn't Fibre listed?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737771.0

Looks like whoever created this poll is hating on Apexcoin - only one of the best, not forgetting the addition of BlockNet

Plz add premineplus coin( PMP) ,
the ann link is:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673760.1280

HyperStake +1 :)

add multiwalletcoin to that list, hard working Dev's that deserve some recognition.

add incognitocoin

CGB  is my fav

Just removed equinox coin from the voting list.

looks like you forget to add Novacoin
i will vote for Novacoin for my choice of POS coin

i will vote for Blackcoin [BC]

and my second choice will be Peercoin [PPC]

Please add Incognito Coin

What makes Blackcoin so special?

No real sense in posting your favorite coin in this thread anymore. OP hasn't updated the poll in a long time.

Instamine basically?

Diamondcoin (DMD) well I haven't used yet their PoS wallet (lost interest before...)

Nextcoin has 100% premine?

Hyper Stake  8)

You forgot  to add Gridcoin. It uses Blackcoin's Proof of Stake for its timestamping process, and combines it with its unique Proof of Research Algorithm.

HYPER in my opinion. Really interesting coin :)

HYPERSTAKE!!

NXTcoin

Too early to add paycoin?  ;D

Paycoin has been added to the list for voting

But yet you've had several people ask to have Zeitcoin added, and you haven't.

Add ShadowCash too please. heh, why is the subject redacted!?

HyperStake has motives.
I voted HBN

Bitswift

HYPER has a poker site coming in a few days and also has over 10 game servers that integrate the currency: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624651.0

Without a doubt the best proof of stake coin out there. Trading had been picking up a lot recently too. Don't miss out!

Could you add TRUST ?

Could you add XMG?

Nice to see HYPER has quite a few votes ;)

It's good black coin has 18.2% of the votes today. It's still holding up in this brutal bear market.

bitswift is not on that list, but I choose that since the dev is still working on it and it is backed with storage space, something you can actually use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtdMy0miTcg

NEM coin [XEM] added to list of proof of stake coins.

NEM coin discussion thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654845.0

But it isn't a proof of stake coin, it is POI.

looks like a list of scam coins to me

yeah and good fucking luck getting any harvested blocks

What's the point with a poll like this? It's always biased as fuck..

Crypti, NEM, Bitshares and NXT seems good to me. Hopefully people will abandon the bitclones.

I have been staking litedoge recently..

I'm also in favor of XMG... the stake % isn't that high, but it's an older and pretty stable coin IMO

HYPER the gaming crypto of course :) You can check my signature

in anticipation of the change of priorities and logical explanations for positions and POS as necessary, and the possibility of presence and importance as a constituent and which is probably already undergoing run-in coins with an emphasis on POS and that the special coins created through POS have a more fair and complete solutions based crypto and the need for such a decision is justified more complete objectivism in relation to new money that POS contour can repeat the same already working banking system, one way or another which is the engine of evolution, let the shortcomings of centralization, conditional lawlessness and format, need healthy economy, not a result of underdevelopment of life and modern understanding of the place, but without repeating the contours though , but that requires a deeper elaboration ,the system POW with a repeating image of a feudalism was necessary, certainly for States with lower and simpler standard of living , though ; more prominent in terms of POS, of course ,  and looks more acceptable here, coin Blackcoin, with more sophisticated POS and now with affordable price, ie has everything you need to $ 50 to experience the future

I/O coin can be added

Can you please add Sprout Coin! 8)

Don't bother. I don't think this is getting updated. Besides, I asked repeatedly a while back to get Zeitcoin listed, and it never happened.
