1) Wallet encrypted and open, stake your coins at 2% compounded yearly (not really a great return if you ask me)
2) No stake on exchange (although possible, could keep you from withdraw of your coins if stuck in stake --same could happen on local wallet)
3) Helps strengthen the network (whatever that means)
4) Earn more coins trading (maybe lose more as well) --so stake to keep market stable
5) Wallet is awesome place to store coins on local desktop, much safer than exchange (unless you visit porn sites)
6) Buying more coins helps the community while selling more coins hurts the community.
That about sums up the FAQ?
Yup mostly. Some extra info below:
1). The 2% is a good thing imo, if you have a high interest this means more coins are generated and more coins offered on the market means lower value.
2). A few months ago there was a exchange that did this, the exchange got bugged because of the balance system the PoS caused and people started exploiting it. The exchange is not here anymore and a lot of people lost money on that incident so security wise its absolutly a no go.
3). The bitcoin network gets its strength through Asics etc that deliver PoW. The more miners connected the more decentralised and secure the network is (pools are not good for a decentralised network btw but it makes finding blocks easier). The same is for PoS. Ever heard of a 51% attack? The same can happen on a PoS network so its important the network is getting protected by as many as possible online wallets with a proper ammount of coins.
4) Earn more real life value by keeping coins of exchanges so the scarcity on exchanges is bigger (supply and demand)
5) Dont forget to backup your wallet.dat
6) True
OK - wallet is back up to the cloud -check and the thing on the PoS and 51% same deal - good info - supply and demand - makes sense.
I think the Camel is really a great brand identifier as well (Judge). One more thought (question) on the Wallet staking.
It indicates "mined\staked" on the transaction in the wallet. Is the Wallet actually mining the coin, or just staking the block for which the coin was already mined? I have no clue about how mining really works other than ya get yourself a GPU rig, set up your cgminer, join a pool and hope for the best --ducking your head from the ASIC's. I just don't want my desktop mining coins lol. Man I feel like such a noob lol - but I am sure the wallet does not have a built in miner, I mean that would be to difficult, right?
