I'd add Reddcoin and Hyperstake to that list.

 into PoS since 2013, have to say it can be fun, but it is also a high maintenance endeavor  . i guess i've about 2 doz PoS currencies, so if i stake each for 24 hrs, i'm busy some time every day doing data maintenence, my pc can run maybe 6 PoS wallets at a time (fast cpu w/16 gB RAM), plus my c drive is small so i spend a fair amount of time moving data around, etc ...
 also there are different approaches to the task; some want to come out and stake once a week or month, while others want to run 24/7 foreva ...

Zeit and HBN are two of my favs too ... (but they are old with heavy wallets and very large blockchains) (compared to newer releases like sprouts or v.cash)

oh yeah also - once the minimum stake-age has been met staking usually (but sometimes not) starts right up and you collect as you go  

on a brighter note staking = mining, but with low cpu usage, (RAM can take a pretty hard hit tho) and you can stake easily on a laptop or raspi, even that old clunker running win XP!  (even better - v.cash can stake on a cellphone, w/almost no extra battery drain)

good POS data posted in TALK thread
get an address so I can tip

Depending on how many diamond coins you have in a block , if you have only~350 , then you normally stake ~30days from when the block was created.
If you have a few thousand in 1 block , then 9 days is the quickest you could stake.
Also they are hybrid so you can PoW mine them also.

Tekcoin (30 days before you can stake) & HoboNickel (10 days earliest stake) are also hybrids PoS & PoW.

For Research use CoinMarketcap to see pricing & total supply as some are a few cents with only a million coins and some others only a few satochi but billions of coins.
Plus read their discussion forms, to see the coin's general mood and direction.
You will also want to determine what amount of coins is needed per block to stake as fast as possible to gleam the effect of compound interest.


If you decide on any of them, Here is a link to my bootstrap service to save time syncing with the coin's network.

So I have been considering throwing my hat in some POS coins. But I'm pretty unfamiliar with them. I've seen some posts about DMD. It looks good, my only problems with it, is its not on shape shift, and it appears payouts are once a year. Anyone out there familiar with these types of coins? Any recommendations or can you point me in a direction? I'm really looking for something semi stable that pays more then once a year. Thank you!
