Is there a PoS coin uses code based on at least Bitcoin 0.10.x onwards ? The existing sources from over 20 coins i have investigated seem to be based on code as old as 0.7.x and 0.8.x

afaik Amsterdamcoin uses the new codebase. There is the chainparams.cpp which subtitutes many stuff from main.cpp and so on.

Actually no that is still the 2012/2013 codebase, you can verify that here :- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/0.8 It's astonishing how people have just resorted to forking without at least trying to update the code. I'll take a crack at it maybe..

The advances in bitcoin if applied with PoS could result in some very interesting applications.

For those interested in this, i'll keep this thread updated with info on what i find and if i attempt, a link to the git.

I take it you can't disable header sync in latest BTC by commenting out or setting a flag. Cheesy

BTC uses Header Sync, so far many have said this is incompatible with Proof of Stake coins.
Only PoS coin to attempt header sync was Pandacoin with a hybrid blockchain, it had so many block chain corruption issues, that most people quit using the header sync and stayed with the original method. Mintcoin recent Devs has stated header sync does not work with PoS coins.
A working PoS coin using Header sync without corruption issues, would be of great interest to all PoS communities.

Cool

I'll do what i can, though i do not see how the headers first implementation would be impossible for PoS.
