I don't know what the hell XBC is, but WC pool was DOS attacked while wallet stake was being fixed.  0 people were staking since staking was being fixed, and the pool was down from DOS attack.  It really has nothing to do with proof of stake.  After the new wallet is released within a day or so, it won't be an issue.

XBC was doublespent at poloniex. Several thousand usd worth was stolen few days ago.
Now WC was doublespent at mintpal just a few hours ago.
I am no expert in this (can't read and write code).
I have to ask: are these pos-coins secure? It doesn't look like it.
Is a mix of pos and pow the way to go? Or is pure pow the most secure?  
What's your opinion on it?
