FAQ
- What sould I do to start PoS mining?
Have your wallet unlocked and online. - How compund interest is calculated?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_interest#Compound_Interest - I still don't understand PoS interest!
Then think about it as 1% per year - What is the number of coins?
Not fixed nor limited - What is happening when my coins are offline? Am I loosing reward?
You are loosing transaction fees and compound interest. Nominal interest will be paid when you find a block - Why stake reward is so low?
Just as planned
As you all know, Blackcoin can no longer be mined, well guess what think again Some Awesome people set up the first multipool for an altcoin! so if you thought you missed out think again! http://bcmultipool.com/ 1.2gigs and growing! come get some BC!
