Groko's been doing some work on the POS miner through the YACoin client. Looks like he found a world around to some of the long-term concerns. I thought I would share the link here to increase awareness. I believe he recently made a pull request to have this items added to the sourcecode.

I certainly prefer seeing coins combined than split. Since it doesn't fork the blockchain, if some unforeseen problems arise, it should be relatively easy to go back.
