I was thinking here in reserving some hdd space for a proof of stake coin. Say, buy a thousand of these coins and get a reward from time to time.
However, I never did this before and I'm confused about how it would work. Would it use too much RAM? Would it consume my CPU? Or would it use the GPU like in mining?
Also, recommend good POS coins to store in that way.
The best thing you can do is get involved really early on in a PoS coin and start staking since day one, then it's like a snowball effect where you make more and more coins.
I made a ton of BITS (Bitstar, now pretty much dead after being delisted from all the exchanges) and I was able to dump it for a nice extra BTC that I wasn't expecting. Because that is how it works.... you hold and track it on your portfolio and then a random day the damn coin pumps and you happen to be holding a lot of it.
This is why I think Poswallet.com is a good idea to speculate with PoS coins. I would like a decentralized solution for multiple PoS staking.
