Ok,

What I dont understand yet is the 20% thing.

Imagine someone having ALL the mined coins. If he/she gets 20%, where does this 20% come from? I.e.: if there are 10 coins in total. 20% makes it 12 coins. Where do the 2 coins come from?

PoW and PoS are two different approaches to achieve the same result;  generate new coins.

Hi everyone!

i'm trying to do some math about PoS system.

guess that i have 1000 coins. Like we said in the posts before, after 20days i'll start to get some interests.
I still don't know how many coins i'm going to get after the first 20days, so i think: 20% of interests of 1000coins is 200 coins. 20days/365days is more or less 5,48%...so 200*5,48%=10,96mintcoins.

so:
0-20days-->1000
20-40days-->1010,96

Can anyone confirm it?

Pretty much correct.
Once PoS block is confirmed, your new coins move in to your wallet balance and start aging just like your earlier coins. after 20 days they will start generating interest too.
So if interest rate is 20% per year and payout period is 20 days, then this makes effective yearly interest a little bit more than 20%. Exact mathematical formula can be found here:

Coins are generated in the blockchain. Exactly like its generated in PoW right now. Only difference is that PoS blocks have different difficulty algorithm and only aged coins are able to search the PoS blocks.
PoS coins are generated by your computer processor and it takes very little effort from CPU to calculate them. As a result it is tens of times more energy efficent than PoW algo.

Hi everyone!

I still don't know how many coins i'm going to get after the first 20days, so i think: 20% of interests of 1000coins is 200 coins. 20days/365days is more or less 5,48%...so 200*5,48%=10,96mintcoins.

so:
0-20days-->1000
20-40days-->1010,96

at the 40days, the interests will be calculated on 1010,96coins, if i've understood right.

If i keep like that, i have:

1   1000
20   1010,96           (this period goes between 20 and 40 days..)
40   1022,040122     (this period goes between 40 and 60 days and so on..)
60   1033,241681
80   1044,56601
100   1056,014454
120   1067,588372
140   1079,289141
160   1091,11815
180   1103,076805
200   1115,166526
220   1127,388751
240   1139,744932
260   1152,236537
280   1164,865049
300   1177,63197
320   1190,538816
340   1203,587122
360   1216,778437

Can anyone confirm it?

i think that the system is that you get 20% of your wallets coin every 20-40 days

1000
1200
1440
1728
...
...


or not?
(i hope i have done the calc correct)

Mint can get at 100-200 satoshi but only after mining is over and all goes well with the coin.

This week I think it will hover @ around 12-16 satoshi.

I honestly think Mintcoin will be @ EAC prices pretty soon like next week? Shocked

when both prices proceed with this speed, it will be Sunday.

With buy walls of 23BTC, I think that date is not too far off! Cool

Well, although I hope you're right, all of you relying on 23btc buy wall, but usually it's just whales tactics.
Sorry to say. Let's see over time.

A simple thought experiment.... What might happen to the price from here?

Current price you can get is 4 satoshi, with block reward halving each week for 5 weeks, you can double the price each week for it to keep up with cost of mining.

So....

Week 0 - 4 sat
Week 1 - 8 sat
Week 2 - 16 sat
Week 3 - 32 sat
Week 4 - 64 sat
Week 5 - 128 sat

If price stays in line with cost to acquire, then 128 satoshi after 5 weeks would not be unreasonable. So if this is wrong and it is only 40 satoshi in 5 weeks - so what? thats 1000% profit from here! Time is limited!

Of course maybe only get half this. But still a great return from here!

Good luck!


I am delighted with the progress Mint has made over the last few weeks, all not so far from my predictions. I'm holding all of my Mintcoin and would not be surprised to see a quick move to +100 satoshi from here. For all those who held - well done!
