It's a POS coin btw - I know how it works in theory but I'm also interested in how this thing works in code.
Maybe one day this will be useful too... 
The lone crouton, did you see this?

PoW is a crap, everyone except the 421 miners left on Earth knows this. The suits certainly know this. It's exclusionary, non-scalable, mindbogglingly inefficient, and too damn slow. Bankers are going to adopt blockchain tech where it suits them, but they certainly aren't going to be pissing about with warehouses full of hardware wasting gigawatts of electricity on make-work.
If Evan applied the same PoService principles to blockchain security and coin minting that Masternodes employ, DASH would be almost perfectly decentralised and literally unbreakable while a functioning internet existed, and have vastly greater tx throughput by virtue of latency savings alone.
