Detailed PoS explanation

The link explains the theory of PoS, but you haven't explained how it's implemented on this coin.  Just saying you could get 20% interest if it's left on all year doesn't really address how often PoS blocks are generated for your coin, if they are implemented from launch or at some later date, and I'm still not sure whether the "walletpassphrase" is implemented only for minting or if it fully unlocks my wallet for the specified time on your coin. 

PoS is always poorly understood (myself included) and it is one of the two things that differentiates this coin from a lot of the other scrypt based coins.  You'd be doing yourself a favor if you could explain it better and why you added it with such a relatively large interest payout.
