i have discovered a flaw with current PoS implementation
you can easily do a 51% attack with PoS blocks without needing large holdings
since PoS blocks are generated on a coin age basis, you could create TXO's delayed by a time offset at the minimum TXO cost for a future attack period
so after creating 10000 TXO of 1 MINT separated by 0.5 seconds to make sure 60 consecutive blocks are generated at repeated interval by your wallet 20 days in the future, the attack would last 1 hour and 40 minutes
enough to put the security and function of a coin in question
couple that with the fact the difficulty calculation includes PoS blocks, that would mean difficulty would jump to stratospheric levels making it impossible to mine PoW blocks
are people really not concerned about this? YOU CAN 51% ATTACK ANY POS COIN WITHOUT THE NEED FOR 51% OF SUPPLY OR ANY PoW HASHRATE AT ALLNot concerned because it is not true. Go ahead and try it if you think it is so easy.

Also, you would have to exactly when your miner was going to find the a block. Also, this sounds like a bunch of made up crap.

No. In order to get 60 consecutive blocks you would need a TON of coins. There is no way that 1 mintcoin will produce enough coin age to overpower the network's coin age for 1 hour and 40 minutes. 1 MINT all alone by itself would probably take years to successfully get on the blockchain. wrong, only the calculation for how much coins you generate uses coin-days valid block generation only uses coin age

Getting each consecutive block is not that easy.

I wished mintcoin had more gambling sites.
i've seen only 2 so far
This is a very promising, I don't know why no one do it, Why only two gambling sites so far.

If you have more coins you get the blocks sooner, so to do 60 mints in a row is near impossible.

If you have more coins you get the blocks sooner, so to do 60 mints in a row is near impossible. wrong, you generate a PoS block as soon as you hit 20 days condition, the only limiting factor is whether your block is accepted quick enough to not become an orphan, in which case your wallet would try again

The more coins you have, the larger your stake. You would need 51% of coins to take over the blockchain. At which point the coin would become worthless because other people cannot use the coin. Therefore a person would have to be stupid (and rich) to do it. I really don't know what this guy is talking about. People can google the literature on 51% attack and PoS if they like.

It is ammount of coins * coin age. And it doesn't start until after 20 days of waiting.

I told you guys are the real pumpers and dumpers just think optimtically and keep buying mints and never sell. Yes, Buy when the price bottom, sell when the price is high! This is a good investment.

It does impact the timing.
