10000 - 5000Coin InformationAVcoin is an innovative, secure and energy efficient pure PoS coin. After of 7 day as a PoW, the coin has been transfered to a pure PoS coin, where the generation of new coins and the maintenance of the network are done through minting instead of mining.
AVcoin will have a total of 100 million coins.
PoS will start after at least 8 hour of holding of the coins in the wallet. With PoS, the coin is more resilient to 51% attack.
As an investor, you will be glad to know that holding your coins in the long term will result in tremendous rewards. AVcoin is also designed to be widely spread amongst population all over the World, and so is available in a large quantity.
AVcoin uses a chained hashing algorithm approach, with many new scientific hashing algorithms for the proof-of-work. This is so that the processing distribution is fair and coins will be distributed in much the same way Bitcoins were originally. ASICs will be much more difficult to make for these algorithms and should take years.
With chained hashing, high end CPUs give an average return similar to that of GPUs. Another side effect of the algorithm is GPUs run at about 30% less wattage than scrypt and 30-50% cooler.

FAQ1.What is PoS?PoS: Proof of Stake.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-stake2. what is the line Stake in wallet?It is for the PoS blocks. Once a PoS block generated, some of your coins plus the generated interests will be moved to "stake", it is like "immature" for PoW. It will take 50 confirmations to mature, after mature the coins plus interests will be added back to your balance.
3. what does that mean in the wallet : Minting suspended due to locked wallet?This says you can not do mining due to wallet encrypted.
you need to unlock the wallet in order to mine (for example for PoS blocks):
avcoin-qt -server
avcoind walletpassphrase
true
4. Do I have to let my wallet open to get PoS coins?
PoS will be generated after at least 1 days holding of the coins in your wallet. You don't need to keep the wallet open all the time. The coin-days accumulated in your wallet will not be lost. The next time when you open the wallet client, the internal miner will start automatically and if the coin holding period meet certain requirements the pos blocks will be generated based on the coin-days in your wallet.
5. How often do I have to open the wallet in order to get PoS coins?
See above. You don't need to open wallet all the time, your coin-days accumulated in the wallet will not be lost.
6. Why I can't sync?
Use addnode in the conf file. The addnode list and sample conf file are posted above.
If you use Windows, the avcoin config dir is usually at c:/users/*yourcomputername*/AppData/Roaming/avcoin, in which you should see your wallet.dat and peers.dat files. If the avcoin.conf file is not there, create it using the above example (you don't need to include all the addnode lines, include some will be ok). Restart your client, you should be in sync within a few minutes.
7. You said 50% interest per year, do I have to wait 1 year to get the PoS interest?
No. PoS blocks will be generated after you hold some coins in your wallet for certain period of time. For avcoin the minimum requirement is 1 days. If you move around the coins (for example send to other wallet and then send back), the time will reset for those moved.
8. The PoS generated coins, are they eligible for new PoS block generations?
Yes. After maturity (50 confirmations), the coins will move from "Stake" to "Balance". Once the PoS generated coins in "balance", they will be the same as all other coins, and are eligible for future PoS generations.
9. What will be generated total PoW coin number and what will be generated PoS coin number?
After 5 weeks PoW mining, there will be 100 million PoW coins generation. Afterwards there will be some small number of PoW coins continue to be generated (at 1 coin/block). The PoS generation year is 50%.
10. When I transfer some of the coins from my avcoin wallet, are they the newest coins or does it disrupt the proof of stake process of my older coins?
Any "moved" coins the pos time (coin-day) will be reset for them. It will not affect other "unmoved" coins in the wallet. The PoS will be generated if there are some coins in the wallet satisfying minimum requirements, and the amount generated will be based on the coin-day the total eligible coins have in your wallet.
11. What is Coin control?
When you send avcoins to someone else, the avcoin client chooses kinda randomly which of your addresses will send the coins. With coin control you can exactly choose, which of your addresses will be the sending addresses. And even more specific which of your unspent outputs will be the sending inputs. This allows you to spend the avcoins with the lower coin age, and so earn more coins by optimizing your minting.
