POS coin for playing a bit

[Thepuj]

I would like to play a bit with a POS coin. It should be cheap to do POS mining. Can you recommend a coin? I started with getting ZEIT, but it obviously it takes some Zeit before POS mining is possible.

Thanks

ZEIT staking requires at least 20 days , so on the 21st day you could receive a stake if your block amount has enough coins.
The Leaf on the Client turns green , when coins are ready to mint.  
1 million coins per block will stake pretty quick after the 20 days requirement is met

Hobonickel & Bottlecaps are fun coins to stake, HBN 100% per year and Bottlecaps 200% per year.
HBN earliest stake is 10 days average 15 days, if you have ~5500 coins per block.
(Wait until I get the HBN Bootstrap & Snapshot ready , otherwise you are looking at 2 or 3 weeks to sync this baby as it is very old)

Bottlecaps earliest stake average 15 days if you have ~12000 coins per block.

Noblecoin average stake time is every 24 hours , if you have ~ 2 million coins per block
(Warning on Noble, it Proof of Stake is slightly different than the others , if you don't stake once a week with Noble , it will decrease your reward , and you have to send the coins back to your self to reset the higher reward rate of 8% per year.)

Supercoin can stake ~ 24 hours or so if you have 5000 coins per block.  reward 5% per year

Massive Interest and inflation with these coins.
Sprouts can stake at soon as 5 days , but average 15 days if you only have a ½ million coins per block : 10% every 5 days  

TurboStake can stake earliest every 2 days, but average every 5 if you have 250,000 per block.   2.74% per 2 days

Tekcoin has a high interest of 40% per month but takes minimum 30 days before stake.
Difficulty can lower rate by more than half.

Side note: HBN & Tek & Sprouts are hybrid, so PoW mining can add some % of coins to your wallets, but after some use, you will see the PoS wins hands down.


 

FYI:
One thing alot of people have not caught onto yet , once you reach the amount of Proof of Stake coins you want of that specific one, you can always sell your stake and buy into other coins including PoW coins if so inclined, making your Proof of Stake coins a more economical miner than the ASICS.  

FYI2:
Go here to save yourself some time syncing the coins.

There are a few POS coins.

PIGGY stakes in 4 hours or so - a bit less frustrating waiting for your coins to mature!

You can try Energycoin. It's cheap, staking after one day, and there are some development and community support. You can get some on Bittrex.

Thanks! Looks nice. I might have to get another Raspberry PI and run this off solar! Do you know what the stake reward is? It's not obvious from the ANN thread.

You might want to try Hyperstake as well - staking after 8 days, and the price holds up surprisingly well.

Oooh 8 days - not as long as some but patience isn't one of my strong points! What is the stake reward %

Stake reward is quite high if you get the coin management right - there's lots of discussion about this in the thread

Now I personally POS Mojo,and TBC.
But this coin, pos shall be conditional.

Now I have quite many options to choose from. Thanks for that, esp. kiklo.

I have started already with Zeitcoin. Dunno remember why. Perhaps the video girl with the squint is the reason. But this client is slowwwwwww. It seems it is turning over each block a hundred times.

I thought about Neucoin, because they have a paper which nicely describes the PoS of the coin. But there is a lot of marketing and it is really hard to find an exchange. Dunno why they didn't put more helpful information into the ANN thread.

Hobonickel sounds funny. I will look at that first.

Try BTCR.

37% annual PoS. Cheap as chips on yobit. You can stake fast because there isn't many people staking on the blockchain. Cheap way to play and learn about PoS coins.
