Are you sure? Any evidence of that in the source code? Or how else is that going to work?
Yes, read sections 5.4.2 and 6 of the white paper. Prime Controllers don't have anything to do until POS starts.
But when POS starts, the nearest prime controller to the transmitting node verifies and locks the transaction, then broadcasts it to other nodes and controllers. If a consensus of prime controllers agree that it is a valid transaction it gets added to the blockchain.
The weight (number/quantity) of the staked coins that prime controllers have give them more authority to verify. The weight of the staked coins also disincentive-izes the prime controllers (or a consortium of prime controller owners) from performing illicit transactions.
I know the whitepaper, that's now what I asked though. You know very well that the whitepaper is almost useless here because the coin is completely different from what was described in it.
So is that functionality in the current source? Or is there going to be another ninja hard fork and relaunch within the next ~10 hours?
And if the latter, then of course there are other questions, given how poor the quality of the initial code/launch was, but I'll wait until I see it in action.
