I see in the thread topic "proof-of-chain", "proof-of-pearl". These are cute names (actually I don't understand how a "chain" is clammy), but I ask myself, are these simply renamed "proof-of-work", "proof-of-stake", or is there something more that I should understand?
Thanks again tspacepilot, I also changed the website to make the different between proof-of-stake and proof-of-working-stake more clear. And thanks superclam for making it possible to cut and paste a good description!

Thanks to you guys above for the answers. I'm not too into altcoins anymore but I appreciate the friendliness of folks in this thread (in opposition to some other threads on altcoins that i've visited which are either "be a cheerleader here or GTFO" places).
