Haters need to use a word "scam" more often, may be 3-4 times across the sentence, more novascam, russkie bastards coin, red russian scam and so on.
PoW+PoS coins are the future, cause they are less vunerable to attacks and more energy efficient)
So, it's quite logical that NVC, bottlecaps, bitgem, bitbar etc have their value.
I like PoS, but that doesn't mean we need more PPC-clones that don't add much more. Especially ones with premines.
The interest rate was changed from 1% to around 50%. But it was done in the open with lots of advance warning. So I wouldn't call it a scam.. but I'm confused too as to why the price went up. If the Bitcoin devs even thought about trying the same thing it would be an epic coin-ageddon.
PoS made me a little bit uneasy with how it just gives more money to people doing nothing with money, but PPC's rate being 1%/year didn't bother me too much, as that's below most economies' inflation rates. Anything a little higher than common inflation rates is a bit weird. But you've got to be kidding about 50%, right?
Not kidding
The rate will decrease from 50% very slowly with time. Right now it decreases in relation to the amount of stake being mined to the power 1/6. It's the 1/6 that is going to keep it very high for a long time.
