I am not sure if I am just mistaken, but I am pretty sure I have heard people talking about how they mine coins through their wallet.
When you are connected to a coin network through your wallet, are you mining? Or are there certain coins that can be mined this way? Or is this not a thing at all?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

This is true only for PoS (proof-of-stake) or PoS/PoW hybrid coins. |

I just looked up PoS coins and it says you have to have coins already for it to work. I am pretty sure there are coins that you can mine by having an open wallet with 0 coins in it. One time I had an empty Devcoin wallet open for like a month, and 150,000 DVC appeared in it one day.

I haven't used coins in over 6 months, but I just started writing for Devtome again. Now that I know about this, I am going to use my DVC to get some PoS coins and just keep my wallets open.

Take your chance - find it. One time I had an empty Devcoin wallet open for like a month, and 150,000 DVC appeared in it one day.
I have no idea why this happened.... May be you wrote something for them in the past? I haven't used coins in over 6 months, but I just started writing for Devtome again. Now that I know about this, I am going to use my DVC to get some PoS coins and just keep my wallets open.

I had written for them, but I don't think they would have had a reason to pay me at the time. Maybe views. I'm not sure. |

This is a great thread if you want to invest in high interest PoS coins. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=783697.0 (CrazyLoaf's CrazySteak(TM) High PoS Investment Journal) |

Does anyone else use their coins for things? I know a lot of people like to just trade coins for coins, then eventually take out money.
But I am just wondering if there are any other people out there that use their earnings to buy books (I do), or to fund a Garden (I do), or to make Youtube videos (I do). Or anything else like that. Like, using coins to fund things that have the potential to be something else, even if it ends up not being related to coins.

The users are way to obsessed with coins, and don't realize that eventually EVERYONE has to get involved (even the people that are not obsessed with coins) if this is going to sustain itself into the future. I became a coiner because I write a lot and was invited to post my books on Devtome. I did not come here because I am a computer person. |

I think it is hilarious that someone posted code at me trying to prove that something is "day 1". That basically makes the whole point, I didn't really need to post the last post.
The whole world is not a bunch of computer programmers. And this is probably why Bitcoin has dropped to $300. Shitty attitude towards regular people.

Some wallets have a mining feature, I noticed, but I have no idea how to use it.

Mining Coins By Keeping Your Wallet Open is bullshit, go for a real coin and mine it man I have been using Bitcoins for 2 years or more now, and I still don't understand mining. I have a Bitcoin Block Erupter, but I tried the instructions in the link below and the first link just wouldn't open after I downloaded. And I got the 7-zip for whatever. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=220450.msg2321308#msg2321308 |

Maieuticoin allows staking this way, but it's Minting, not Mining. You earn .96% of your balance weekly There is also an option to stake through the mainnet cloud if you don't want to run a client. Over 60% of the network is enrolled in Offline Staking, so the network is also very, very secure from attack
