[ANN][OSMO] Osmosis - 100% premined proof of stake, energy saving, interest earning, decentralised cryptocurrency. [OSMO][ANN]http://s17.postimg.org/ifv05oiqn/osmosisedii_Sized.gifSymbol: OSMOPlease stay tuned to this thread for important updates including IPO stakeholder confirmations with the final list of investors, public keys and addresses. Innovations and Contributions
Based primarily on peercoin and with a few ideas borrowed from mintcoin, preminecoin and heavycoin (mostly for the IPO structure).
Our plan is to instamine all the coins from the genesis block and distribute them proportionatly to our investors on launch day.
Total number of coins will be 15,482,880 with 1% inflation per year paid to each wallet containing coins which meet the PoS criteria being 20 or more coin days held in the same wallet.
There will be a fixed block reward of 0.1 OSMO for the life of the coin.
Goals
Create a sustainable and environmentally friendly medium of exchange freely available to be used by all.
Provide long-term open source development, support and maintenance.
Build a great community of stakeholders.

The 15,482,880 OSMO will be distributed among the IPO investors proportional to how much BTC they have invested.

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):
osmosiscoin-qt -server
osmosisd walletpassphrase
true
still unclear? read this post
4. Do I have to let my wallet open to get PoS coins?
PoS will be generated after at least 20 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 Osmosis config dir is usually at c:/users/*yourcomputername*/AppData/Roaming/Osmosis, in which you should see your wallet.dat and peers.dat files. If the osmosis.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. 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 Osmosis the minimum requirement is 20 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. When I transfer some of the coins from my OSMO 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.
