We will be offering staking very soon so this could be of use to quite a few of our users.
So will you be switching to a POW/POS with the same block rewards or is it going to faze out POW and switch to POS only?
I'm sure you're sick of this by now, but we are proposing a mysterious third way of operating.
Initially, we will have a merge mined sha256 pow/pos hybrid in order to liven up the chronos layer but our plan is to move to a completely new consensus algorithm that removes the need for PoW altogether.
We're really close to being able to be less cloak and dagger about our mysterious consensus algorithm. We're just determined to be first to market. When we're in testnet, that'll be when we spill the beans and open ourselves up to public academic rigour.
In reference to your question about whether block rewards will remain the same, the answer is no. In the future, when we no longer have PoW, we will have 90% of the block reward to share between Trons and Chronos, with the other 10% being the governance fund. No decisions have been made at this time as to the split. At the appropriate time, a proposal (or proposals) will be created for the community to vote on.
