How is the POR going? Can you give any general details about it as a teaser?
Sure!
It's in a sense similar to PoS but different at the same time.
It will pay everyone on the network a certain amount per connection that the client holds. The more connections the more coins you will receive per block.
There is a connection limit which is determined by the amount of connections the official nodes see, in an effort to thwart abuse of the payout system. This process also ensures no one user can take control or receive majority of the payout.
Finally user's balance will act as a multiplier in a sense on top of the connection count. It will be on a curve again so as to not cause abuse of the system.
PoR is still in developement we will keep you all posted on this. Right now the miner and mining functionality is top concern.
