bitstar-logo

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.

EnergyCoin (ENRG) is a pure PoS coin which generates coins through PoS blocks. Except the first block where it generates the initial 101 million coins, no PoW mining will get any coins. All every person has to do is post it on our facebook, twitter or reddit page, and add a signature to btctalk profile. After distribution is over energycoin is mineable by simply running your wallet. Thus a huge mining cost of hardware and millions of electricity costs are saved.

EnergyCoin also adopts a variable PoS rate with the following annual interest rate: Year-1: 10% Year-2: 8% Year-3: 6% Year-4: 4% Year-5: 2% Year 6 has only 1% of annual interest. 30 seconds block time to make sure network is stable and fast at the same time -Difficulty retarget is based on each block ensures to keep the difficulty logical -Scarce but not too scarce to be uninteresting or not usable. 101 million coins in distribution and interest values were decided to make sure the coin retains its value

Bladecoin (BLA) Scrypt-based alternative cryptocoin

27, Feb 2014

bladecoin-logo

Blade is a proof of work/proof of stake hybrid for the future! The proof of work portion of coin distribution will be fast and end in a total of 28 days. Proof of stake will take over as the main protocol at that time ensuring the network can run forever. This is similar to Mint’s POW to POS distribution model. The stake is a more generous version of Hobo. Blade is currently on the exchange Xnigma.com and we are looking to get it added to more. Please vote for blade! The more miners that mine blade early the better distribution there will be. Make sure to get in before the POW coins are all mined out. Giveaways are hosted in the various trollboxes throughout the crypto community for now and Twitter in the near future. I am currently seeking more exposure for Blade. If you would like to create a reddit, facebook, or other social media please PM me! Faucets are also needed at this point in time.

Blades will be used in the future to fund bladerunners hunting down rogue replicants on earth. Seeing as we should all be humans on earth, mining some Blade now while you can is a must. POS will ensure you have a size-able account to properly fund the future bladerunners in their mission by the year 2019.
