I was a believer until I read this thread and last drop was the HashStaker bs. Ive been a Blackcoin community member for long and think I understand the basics how coin generation works in PoS. GAW seems not to.
My post:
https://hashtalk.org/topic/20525/please-make-it-right-for-us-prime-holders-josh-before-next-update/99"In my opinion, the elephant in the room is that PoS staking is creating coins out of thin air, without "work".
Blackcoin was the first 100% PoS coin and there you earn 1% interest per year if you stake your coins. These new coins causes a tiny inflation on the value as the new coins generated will dilute the market a tiny bit.
The Blackcoin dev could of course change this percentage if he wanted and create a lot more coins. Would that equal increasing the market cap? No
As far as I see it, changing away from hashlets mining proof of work coins for injecting new money into Paycoin, will only dilute the coin. There is no new money flowing into the economy, just new coins generated.
This was soon clear for me after reading the announcement of the plans for changing basically all hashing into staking. Also the question about what will happen to all the huge mining farms GAW owns? They will let their customers exchange their Proof of Work miner into a wallet that does no work, just stakes.
To add to this, the new development seems to be a way for GAW to not let people cash out on their Paycoins, but instead lock them in for 3-6 months and even giving them more money for this. A guy named Charles comes to mind.
So I hate to say it, but I lost faith in Paycoin as soon as I read the news, and have been selling my hahslets since.
I hope that I am wrong in my assessment, but i rather make sure I come out on top than just hoping to get rich on money from thin air."
