I'm just starting to learn about POS coins, and I have some questions. Can someone help?

If 99% of coins are in locked wallets and therefore can't stake, can the other 1% hold the network? Or should most of the coins be staking?

Does it depend on the % of coins staking? Or rather on the number of wallets POS mining? Is there a minimum number to hold a network going?

Let me know if what I just asked has no sense and I'm focusing it wrongly.




HBN & CAP does both pos & pow.  If all stake coins were locked in wallets then the network would still be carried by pow.  I wouldnt keep my coins locked if they were pos.

In NXT, for example, if some coins are not used for forging blocks, their power is proportionately distributed among all the other coins that are forging.
