Maybe a really dumb question, but *IF* they release the source code and wallets (like Josh said, but really who the fuck knows), what's to stop someone from just making their own compatible staking wallet? I mean, you'd have all of the code, couldn't you just compile it yourself and be off to the races?
First of all we need to see the code. It's probably going to be late at best. Second, what would be the point? Do you have $100m that you want to share with random strangers?
I think the idea is that there is going to be standard staking at 5% that every PayCoin wallet will be eligible for, working probably like many other POS coins.
Then there is going to be HashStaker, which they call call a wallet, but really it's just a widget on a website with some numbers on it. I don't think HashStaker will have any more to do with "staking" than Hashlets have to do with "mining". It will probably produce "payouts" same way we get "payouts" from Waffle, Clever etc.
Of course if the blockchain is ever public there could be some interesting possibilities to see where coins are coming from etc, but it could easily be some kind of thermonuclear "off-chain staking" for all we know.
what source code are you talking about.
