probably a totally dumb question but if I don't ask I'll never know (and probably 100 other newbies that are too afraid to look dumb)

What happens when POS coins are held on an exchange?

The exchange takes the PoS generally. Usually if you believe in a coin you should have it in your wallet anyway. If the coins arent in your wallet you don't really own them, they are like IOU's

Thanks, slowly, slowly I am learning

Bitcoin+ is Proof of Stake

[marcus1986]

Nas is the 100% Proof-of-Stake (PoS) currency.  
What is NAS? It's a descendant of NXT and first working fork of NXT's source code.
Official Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=523187.0
Official Website: http://nascoin.org/

Also it's 5 times cheaper that Nxt prices right after launch, before Dgex.

Why would anyone buy a nxt clone, if you could buy original? What dies it offer over first Gen?

[paardenkip]

POS is the future of cryptocurrency!

My top 3

1. PhilosopherStone - PHS
2. HoboNickel - HBN
3. Blackcoin - BC

Blackmon 1% POS yearly rate? No thank you, try Tekcoin xD

[solarion]

Some of the really fantastic PoS coins have very high pricetags at this point, making them risky. Zeitcoin and ECCoin both pay 25% and can be stacked for only a few satoshis each. Both are PoW/PoS hybrids and both now have or will soon have very low PoW distribution(Zeitcoin is 1/block currently).

The purpose of POS is to secure the network. POS reward is paid to secure the network by minting. High % return of POS is just a self-diluting game that puts a downward pressure on the coin's price, hence doesn't offer real return as "interest".

What about this? Is this paragraph also correct in your opinion?

The purpose of POW is to secure the network. POW reward is paid to secure the network by minting. High block reward of POW is just a self-diluting game that puts a downward pressure on the coin's price, hence doesn't offer real return.

yes, this is correct
the problem with bitcoin is 5% inflation right now is a little bit high

it doesn't offer any advantage over 2% inflation security-wise other than giving ASIC miners a higher stake in the game

If you want to use fancy words like "inflation", then better make sure that you know what it means.

That is fine, but irrelevant to this thread which is about POS coins.

POS is a way to secure the network without spending a huge amount of energy hashing. POS reward marging, after sufficient adjustment by the market, will be extremely thin because it really doesn't take a lot to secure a POS network. Any extra reward will used to lower the price of the coin, canceling out the gain. So using POS reward to get rich is not going to work.

Using POS coins to store value is highly likely to work -- POS is very efficient at keep its coin network running.

I don't know if you've noticed but all mining margins have contracted significantly recently.

Another Proof-Of-Stake Coin -- AsiaCoin -- http://theasiacoin.com/

Claims first year 100%

From source code at https://github.com/AsiaCoin/AsiaCoin/blob/master/src/util.h

Code:

static const int64 COIN = 1000000;

you need to include coin destruction as well eg peercoin destroys coins per transaction. This effects overall inflation and coin dynamics
