Cold minting, ProtoShare/bitshare DPOS?

Can anyone here comment on if part of the DPOS is a viable cold miniting or is it different?

DPOS is certainly different that Peercoin’s cold minting, because a user can use Peercoin cold minting on his own stake without the need for a delegate. Thanks for the link – it’s a very interesting idea.

The article states in the “Scalability” section that both Peercoin and NXT would need “excessive fees” in order to motivate delegated nodes to mint. Although this may be true of NXT, it cannot hold true of Peercoin, since the money supply grows by 1% naturally, and fees are destroyed.

Interested in others’ thoughts.
