OpenSourceCoin (OSC) is a SHA 256 POW/POS cryptocurrency. It has features like Symmetrically Scaling Difficulty retarget algorithm that set it apart from other cryptocurrencies. While being a proof of stake coin in the vein of P2Pcoin, OSC is different in many ways. It utilizes payment notes, called Transaction or “Tx Messages” to pass notes to other addresses within the blockchain. A checkpointing server is responsible for maintaining blockchain security to reduce the risk of a “time travel exploit”, a method of reversing transactions in a hash-cash proof of work environment first described and later carried out by ArtForz of the bitcoin community.
