Is the rumer true that SMC will be moving to X11 POW and POS in the near future? Word on the web (Trollbox) is that this is being kept hush hush to allow some to buy cheap coins. If true, this would be huge for the people holding mass amounts of SMC. Also would be good for the network to get some more people mining it and keep the threat of asics away for now. Anyway, just checking to see if anyone else has info on this.
hope it is true
This would be the best thing to happen to it. 1st switch to x11 proof of work (mining) and then proof of stake (forging) after a week or so. Another would be to incorporate darksend to give it some anonymity. Smart safe and discrete money. It would be rock solid with those features.
I've heard suggestions about adding PoS, and as a developer, I think that it is a good idea. Now it appears that community feedback supports it as well. This would be a significant change and would require a testing framework to be implemented prior to making a new release, all of which takes time and resources. I wouldn't expect anything earlier than June-July if the decision is made to add PoS to SMC.
