could anyone tell me the long term potential of this coin?

I don't think POS should be one of reasons.  PPC is the one brought pos into cryptocurrency, but it hardly can be taken as a successful coin. Just look at the price and attention it has attracted. Is there any difference between these two coins in term of pos?

please enlighten me, thanks very much

PoS is part of the reason for long-term potential. PPC is innovative, but they aren't really striving as much to be a currency. They have high transaction fees and seem to aim for the 'store of value' label as much as working towards becoming more widely used in sales. BlackCoin has the developer that started 100% PoS and as far as I've seen, the only one working on security and improvement of the protocol. I think PoS will be a big innovation in crypto and of the proof of stake coins, BlackCoin has the best chance of mass-adoption due to it's infrastructure and continued focus on development and real adoption.
