End of the list? I don't know of any other noteworthy contribution so far. I'm sure the next big thing will not be PoS.

Najska · « **Reply #2 on:** November 27, 2014, 10:45:05 pm »

I'll contribute to the list. Later... You should contribute, too, if you believe this isn't the end of the list. Next big thing doesn't have to be PoS. But anyways we still have time for the next big thing.

Bitshares, Peercoin, Primecoin,

Thanks. But I believe Primecoin isn't PoS.

How low down the ~~crapcoin~~ low-market-cap do you want to go?

Novacoin tweaked Peercoin. Blackcoin* tweaked Novacoin. Then there were a lot of clones of Blackcoin for some reason...

Whitecoin (of course

at number 99 on CMC)

Pretty sure these are too...

Yellowcoin (number 317)
Cinni (153)
Asia (316)

But they are dead and unoriginal. Not sure if Nova could be claimed to be original

*(Blackcoin not too bad I suppose, currently at number 17. They have a clunky double deposit escrow "smart contracts" system they have had high hopes for for about 6 months.. ok but limited by how much each party holds. How do you double deposit on selling your house?.)

Daedelus · « **Reply #7 on:** November 27, 2014, 11:18:52 pm »

Oh, also Navajo.

Famous for having most of the stake on an exchange, exchange getting hacked and then double spend and a roll back. And giving all POS cryptos a bad name (bitcoiners forget that there a numerous fledgling POW coins have been mined to death by big pools when they were small, but they don't seem to think this counts against POW like they think Navajo counts against POS).

Might want to look into the details if you are going to publish it in anything.

Daedelus · « **Reply #8 on:** November 27, 2014, 11:30:29 pm »

Looks like Novacoin switched the POW phase of Peercoin from SHA256 to Scrypt and was the first. Blackcoin adjusted the POW phase of Nova to a week.

YAcoin cloned Nova/Peercoin and switched to Scrypt-Jane.

Lots of clones of each of these here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=458726.0

FIMKrypto

NXT based pays block rewards for 4 years from "preforged" pool through built in algorithm. Not sure if you can consider that pure POS.

Coin name: BenShares
Ticker: BTS
Website: http://bitshares.org
Forging: DPoS - Debilitated PoS, Proven Susceptible to Sybil Attacks
Release year: 2014
About: Focused on ~~decentralised~~ autonomous organisations. Aims at replacing the current commercial banking system. LULZ

FTFY... Nothing about Bitshares is "DECENTRALIZED". They have already had their DPoS come under Sybil attack when it was discovered that ONE INDIVIDUAL WAS THE TOP FIVE DELEGATES! What a complete joke.

The bitshares' geniuses simply copied NXT's PoS algo and restricted the number of forgers to 101 because they wanted to look innovative and capitalize off NXT's success.

Bitshares isn't going to replace the "current commercial banking system" because the transactions don't even make economic sense. No sane person is going to collateralize a bitAsset position with double or triple the amount of Bitshares. Who would lock up $3 USD worth of Bitshares to get $1 USD worth of bitUSD?

Any details on that? I looked at the Bitshares code. I think very people are actually able to read the code of CC's, much less produce them. Current marketcap is still 48M$?

That's the reason why I decided to include only pure PoS coins to the list. If a coin is pure PoS, as far as I see, it is only because they have at least a bit of conceptual genuinity so that they don't feel the need of leveraging the ideas in the long-ago sorted PoW/PoS debate.

Unfortunately, their inventory is so limited. Thanks, though.

I would rather write how they advertise themselves, even though I share your views to some extend.
