[quote=“kac-, post:15, topic:3338”]Peercoin’s minting maybe isn’t optimal because it’s built upon PoW mining code and previous protocol, I’ll make a PR and we’ll discuss it. New designs introduce new holes so it’s safer to base on tested code and optimize it later.

@ Interview with Presstab about PoS Coin Vulnerabilities | Bitcoinist.com
Each second that goes by, the code will then hash the same 59 hashes that it did one second ago, adding one new hash to the end that reflects the time changing. This becomes a burden on the CPU, and there is no reason to hash the same exact hash over and over.That's false. ---!edit---
Author of article mixes coins w/ different block interval targets, diff adjusting algos and other PoS parameters(2h drift, 10min target != 2h drift, 1min target) so it’s hard to say if his study and conclusions match our network, ofc it worths exploring.[/quote]
True that a ten minute block target is not quite as bad. But this is not a reason to excuse it as a myth… Plain and simple, give me enough weight and your difficulty will be ruined. Maybe PPC’s days of being aggressive on security are over? I am not sure. Good luck to you guys.
