I checked codebase of this coin and found that dev removed check for LAST_POW_BLOCK. It means that this coin still accept PoW blocks. Why it is important?
1) First of all, this coin has risk of double spends(anybody can create chain fork with desired length)
2) Coin uses shared difficulty_retarget and if anybody rent 10Gh(for instance) for 5 minutes to create PoW blocks not only PoW difficulty rises to infinity, but PoS difficulty too and blockchain will be stopped.

I don't know about your 1st statement if PoW mining is possible or not,  Tongue
I did just try setgenerate true 4 in the console and it did not work to generate a PoW block,
if there are more commands, please share.

Your line 2 is totally wrong, PoS & PoW difficulty are not shared among any coin, they can't be , there are two independent ways to generate coins.

Same issue with the block freezing happened with PHS a few weeks ago, no big deal , as more blocks are available for staking the network returns to normal speed.   Smiley
