Bitstar (BITS) is a digital savings currency offers an alternative to Bitcoin, in that the coin network is secured by the process of your wallet balance “staking” or, in traditional banking terms, earning interest. Simply deposit coins into your official Bitstar wallet and after 24 hours they will start earning interest, which you will see being deposited into your wallet by the network. The wallet offers a number of advanced features and integrated services, but can be used very easily as a simple way for you to hold your coins and become more familiar with the additional functions at your leisure.
