note that there are people looking into on how to attack pos coins.
reason for this is that proof of stake ( pure ) hasnt been fully checked as a standalone technology.
however, it is written/invented by sunny king who is a very smart dude.
yes, i have seen articles as well on how to damage a pos coin, without cost. most of it is bla or see below.
however, it requires you to have 51% stake atm, but there might be other ways which have not surfaced yet.
"The trouble with Proof-of-stake is that there is nothing at stake."
whales can easily get 51% of the coins. especially at this pricelevel. there is nothing at stake.
so if a whale has bad intentions ( hope wolong is on your side )... yes, then very much damage can be done.
same as with pow coins, you can build a new longest chain that will be seen as valid in the network, allowing double spend and cancelling transactions/making sure that transactions are not confirmed.
so pray that a whale, with bad intentions, does not get 51%

any coin that makes me a profit.

I believe that in long term you are most probably right. However, in order for a coin to develop long term it should survive short term.
Well, I suppose that it will be a bumpier ride than initially expected, noting more, nothing less.
Now too many types of coins In the market is not standardized The price fluctuation is too big Choose a good coin

Has anyone figured out how many btc worth of mint you'll get per Mhs on hashcows? I've been running it for 2.5 days now and it seems low, I think it might be better to collect the BTC ourselves then trade them in for mint...
Well how much have you received? about .004 worth of btc for a 3.2 mhs rig...  I got 5000 mint in 7 hours mining with 350 kh/s. Thats allmost 0.007btc/24hr/mhs the profitability can vary from day to day but on avarage hashcows has the highest.

I moved over to CM and just picked up some more mint with the btc I made. I'll give HC another shot over the weekend, maybe it was just bad luck on my part.

so pray that a whale, with bad intentions, does not get 51% That would cost the attacker about $750,000. Is it really worth it to attack? I mean they are spending 750K to destroy their own money, who would do that?

I think if someone gets that much stake the main danger is a massive sell off. A canny seller would sell in tiny lots so they wouldn't dump the price before they sold out.
I think the actual interest of anyone who held a 51% position would be to do things that maintain or raise price levels.

from http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=401.0"There are a lot more PoS blocks than Pow. Once you mint a block with your coins they are locked in stake for 520 blocks, and the PoS mints with a transactions size ie if you get 1000PPC and the transaction is old enough it will mint and your PPCs will be locked in stake. There is no guarantee that the next block will be PoS so you have to own 51% PoW, and if you have a bunch of old coins there is no guarantee that you find all the PoS blocks in a row either ... So NO finding six blocks and double spending might risk the network rejecting your blocks and losing your stake..." This does have me wondering how a pure PoS coin prevents this, since there IS a guarantee that the next block will be PoS... Sounds like a blackcoin problem. They always mistake the forum page... dont now why they love it here this much.

Exactly. Also, remember that if someone were to start buying up massive amounts of coins there would be a HUGE pump increasing the cost. And last I checked there were only 600 mil coins for sale on Mintpal to begin with. I hate to keep using peercoin to debunk theories concerning the 51% attack of PoS coins, but they do such a good job. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjL2AgCQDJ0
