If you add PoS to Solarcoin it would become one of the most dynamic Crypto's on the market in my humble opinion.
Solarcoin at that point would have 2 PoW and PoS, PoW- Solar power generating panels PoW- Mining network PoS- Coin holders
One of the bigger drawbacks to PoS is hoarding because no one wants to give up their coins. So that drives up the price, but also makes it harder to get coins. The thing Solarcoin has that makes it a great PoS candidate is the premined Gen pool. With the large chunk of coins premined and given out for solar power generation, That solves the hoarding problems of other PoS coins as well as drives more people to redeem coins for solar power. Its also good to mention it would be important to keep the premined out of receiving PoS rewards, simple keeping them in cold wallets.
Im not a promoter of any of the other coins... I could care less how the coins used for example proform... They are only used as a reference... Im all about making Solarcoin the best it can be!!!!
I happen to love this idea as well, I'd just like to see the difficulty retargeting get addressed first so we can put out that fire and be done with it. Then our tech team will have some forking experience (no pun intended ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) ) under their belts and can begin thinking about the larger project of a potential PoS fork down the road. Wouldn't that be a "fork in the road"? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

For sure a PoS fork will be a very big job and it must be done right... What is your thoughts on digishield vs KGW as the retarget protocol? And this is something I need to look further in to PoSV it's seems interesting... http://www.reddcoin.com/papers/PoSV.pdf I have been part of the research effort (albeit a small part) over the weekend to try and figure out the best approach to take. I can tell you it looks like Digishield is in the lead in terms of solutions. Once a course of action is decided upon, some testers with rigs may be needed. Again, stay abreast of the SLR forum thread, Justin will post there if he needs some assistance, I'm sure. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I'm also a supporter of PoS as a future development for SolarCoin. Just so that everyone knows, this idea is very much on the radar screen of the SolarCoin Foundation Board and dev team as something to consider in the longer term. One possibility that has been talked about is a fork to PoS after we reach approximately 50 million mined coins, which is supposed to happen near the end of this year. That would allow plenty of time for research and discussion of all the specifications, risks and ramifications of such a change, and thorough testing of all new code, wallets, etc. Just to be clear, the Board has not decided on PoS, but plans to study and consider it. Thank you, Sunuser, for adding your voice and ideas to the discussion. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Hey Justin I know your probably busy, so I just went ahead and wrote the new code for the multiSig and I emailed it to you.
rpcrawtransaction.cpp Now has "redeemScript" 36 lines of code added and 22 lines deleted
bitcoinrpc.cpp Now has the "createmultisig" rpc command and updated code for the "addmultisigaddress" command 52 lines of code added and 15 lines deleted
*sidenote would you like me to partition the bitcoinrpc.cpp and add rpcwallet.cpp, most coins have gone this way now, I only say this because bitcoinrpc.cpp now has 3,439 lines of code in that file alone. Your call just let me know
If there is any problems with the new code please let me know, at this point I'm going to start writing the PoS fork and I may write a PoSV fork for testing. You can either email me back or post in one of the forums or PM me in one of the forums. Cheers m8
