-stop POW at 55000 blocks (aroud 3 days) and start pure POS.
- Waite to end of POW 70000 blocks
currently the code has an issue with how it manages difficulty (V1),
there is a switch over at block 70,000 (end of POW) which will change it's retargeting algorithm slightly (V2) and will start staking again.
(actually given that the code exists in a few other coins, i'm impressed it hasnt been an issue before)
so at the moment it doesnt seem like it ever wants to stake again ...
but it's only for the moment
even though it will switch over at block 70000 it's easily changed with a fork to change switch over block to an earlier block eg 55,000 as mentioned in the poll.
.
i think when Nobtcoin says "Start pure POS", they mean re-enable POS earlier rather than wait til block 70000.
.
personally i see advantages to both suggestions.
1. re-enable staking means staking will happen now
2. making the coin slightly harder to attain with a bit more investment needed through mining or purchase
i've come around to seeing option 2 as more interesting as people can still accumulate coins and be ready for block 70000 with their coins accruing age.
.
for anyone interested, the last staking block has a time stamp that is earlier than the preceding block,
current retargeting (V1) obviously has issues with using a negative time difference,

the new method (V2) ignores negative numbers.
