I’m thinking about forking the Conformal Bitcoin implementation to support peercoin.
Does anybody know if there are any write ups or diagrams of the details of how PoS is implemented in Peercoin?
Eventually I’ll pick through the source, but I’d like to read an overview first if there is one.
I guess you already found the whitepaper on peercoin.net . There are also some threads in this forum. Just search for proof of stake or PoS. I’m sure that if you have any specific questions forum members are prepared to answer.
Good luck.
