Where's moonmoon?
Right here :-)
Working on a few things. Will catchup with Particle soon and get OP updated etc. I updated the mac wallet link on the website.
HI, moonmoon,
Because the return was too low, the miner is now gone. We should change the algorithm of POW+POS .
I've been thinking about proof-of-stake. The challenge is that the proof-of-stake coins like NovaCoin are based on an older version of Bitcoin, whereas Particle is already inheriting from the bitcoin 0.8 code. To switch to PoS would mean rebasing the code on a NovaCoin fork, and NovaCoin/PoS coins are not on leveldb yet, so I'm not sure what the implications are. It could be done but may mean that everyone will have to redownload the blockchain so it is stored in the BDB format instead of leveldb.
PoS is something that I think would be good for Particle though, so I will look into pursuing it.
