Some cryptocurrencies are generated only through other mechanisms,
such as annual inflation through staking. These cryptocurrencies are said to be not mineable.
only through other mechanisms, AKA not hashing?
NO!
Staking still requires hashed blocks, just low difficulty in terms of CPU flops needed, it is still hashing.
Staking requires contributing [their] hash power + holding X-amount of coins.
POS still requires hashing, therefore
Mineable, by their own definition.
CMC is tarded.
