POS implementation ? #52

Closed crashbdx closed 6 years ago

crashbdx commented 6 years ago

Hello,

Thank you very much for this very interesting work. Would a proof of stake implementation concept be possible on this project ? Also what make this project not suitable for real world usage on basic dapps like proof of existence or things like that ?

Thank you

I implemented it on branch v1.0.0 (I'm waiting for someone to test it)

There are a lot of features that would need to be implemented, especially regarding security, difficulty formula and so on. We discuss that in other issues that you can find here.

Best,

Will search for the topic that discuss the needed work for it eventually work on real world then, thanks again.

You could start by understanding the inner work of this coin using branch v1.0.0 as a reference.

I reviewed the POW file, v1 but nothing specifically named POS. I was reviewing the question by crashbdx asking about POS. My experience with SHA 256 is that it consumes the CPU and can be a runaway train, lol, I also look at POA and I believe this is what decides if the wallet can stake?

I did check as well but didn't see any mention of POS, is it the Proof of authority ?
