Proof of Stake Coin List

[CartGeezer]

PoS makes sense if these were investments. How does it help these become currencies? If it simply benefits those who hold coins, it would create artificially scarce environments where the price would go up.

POS coins are the way to go for long-term. 

Have you ever thought about what will happen to POW coins after they are mined out?  How will the blockchain be supported of there are no miners working to process transactions?

ECCoin : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=503236.0

ECCoin also adopts a variable PoS rate with the following annual interest rate:
- Year 1: 25%
- Year 2: 15%
- Year 3-9: 10%
- Starting Year 10, it will have an annual PoS interest of 1%

I must say the MINT interest is rolling in I even gen'd some HBN yesterday

ZEIT is even better when it matures, I can only assume its the same timeframe as MINT, ie 20 days.

I know is its 25% first year then 20% 2nd year etc

Please add ZEIT to the list https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=487814.0

+1 for Zeit. POW/POS with a strong community backing and great dev team. Only 19 days old, mining is still practical and price is low. So now is a good time to buy!

Is a working NEM client out yet?

+1 and subbed and I'm gonna bump this thread so that everyone can be aware of this threads awesomeness.  Seriously though it's good to have a thread like this to add to and keep some kind of sanity in this alt coin craziness.

Great thread & info, thanks!

I've taken the plunge and bought some POS coins, but now I'm unsure how to guarantee I earn my 'interest' for different coins. Do all of the POS coins require keeping the wallet open 24/7?

It would be great if you could add some info on what is required to generate the POS coins for each coin on your list.

I've done some preliminary reading today and it seems with some coins you might be able to risk opening the wallet as little as once a week and still get your stake coins paid, but I've also read conflicting reports that suggest nearly all POS wallet needs to be 'unlocked' and opened all the time to generate interest. I'm not sure how to 'unlock' a wallet, but suspect it might be the same as 'encrypt' a wallet.

This information is critical for any would be stakehunters, so it would be good to add that info in this thread.

Thanks again for starting a very informative discussion!

Why no Coin2 and Faircoin?

in short, encrypted wallet needs to be unlocked before you can stake
(if you don't encrypt your wallet, coins will also stake - NOT recommended)

to unlock encrypted wallet execute the following command in debug window
walletpassphrase mypassword 999999

it is NOT required to have your wallet open and unlocked 24/7 to stake

coins age with your wallet offline
when you bring your wallet online with high coin age coins, you stand a better chance of staking than coins on the network with lower coin age
