Nevertheless, a N@S attack has never been successfully realized in the larger PoS currencies (NXT, Peercoin, BTS, Blackcoin ...). NXT has a "reorg-prohibition" that handles the problem successfully. Newer Peercoin versions and their clones have also mechanisms that disincentive staking on several chains.

$1M POS coins have a 'problem'
+$7000M POW coin can not challenge ... since 2014.

Nothing at stake has been handled in 3 different ways,

1. Have a Coin with a Billion or more and this is never a problem.

2. Have extremely low minimum age , before the coins can stake again between 2 and 24 hours .

3. Run a Hybrid PoS/PoW coin, where PoW make up for any lack of stakers or PoS makes up for any lack of PoW miners.

That is not the "Nothing at stake" problem. It's not about "nobody is staking". Nothing at stake is a much more complex challenge: There are situations where "naive" PoS algorithms allow the participants to "stake" in several chains at the same time with no cost for the "staker", what makes possible an attack.

Hasn't POS been shown to be inferior to PoW due to the nothing's at stake problem? Not trolling genuinely curious as to the status of this

Nope, merely myths propagated by BTC shrills.

Cool

FYI:
Check out ZEIT's Block explorer (PoS only coin) over 34 Billion coins, our blocks stake on a more regular basis than even LTC or BTC. Cheesy

Unfortunately I can not participate on the poll or it is over.

From all I have learnt, NEM is the best PosCoin at the moment.

Added my vote for ZEIT, one of the first PoS coins with a fantastic dev and a long term vision. That last thing is not that usual in the crypto world and, thus, is an added value for me.

NXT and Bitshares. Both have interesting features (coloured coins, assets, Bitshares has "stable" assets, NXT has an integrated payment processor) and solid PoS algorithms which don't rely on centrally broadcasted checkpoints, like many PoS coins. BitShares is a bit more centralized because of its DPoS algorithm.

And NEM, but it uses a slightly different algorithm (Proof of Importance) which also takes into account the activity of the account.

Peercoin used to be on my list too, but its development is a bit slow and it still has centrally broadcasted checkpoints and no cold-storage minting. So until this does not change, no recommendation from me.

Nice, me too, I only keep NXT ant BitShares for investment. The others I try to trade. Haven't done real research about NEM, I'll take a look.

NXT and bitshares added. i heard a lot of good stuff about NXT too. i just dont know enough about it.

1. add hyperstake to your list

2. cloudstaking is stupid. control your keys and your coins. if you are that worried about it, buy a odroid c2 and set it up as a dedicated stake box. waaaay better in the long run.

added hyperstake and Decred to the poll list. thanks for the inputs.

i dont really know shit about cloudstaking yet. it just appealed to me initially because of the idea of having many stake coins in the cloud and not worrying about own computer resources. so maybe one must choose just a few coins to stake.

Get yourself one of these::
