 # Proof-of-Stake
 
->Peercoin uses both the Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake algorithms. The PoW algorithm is used to spread the distribution of new coins. Up to 99% of all peercoins is created with POW. Proof-of-Stake is used to secure the network: The chain with longest POS coin age wins in case of a blockchain split-up.

 `Minting`, as it is called in Peercoin to make a proof-of-stake block, is based on metrics of an unspent transaction.
 If we take a look at the number one spot of the rich list, transaction c7293fc60c80bdcc374775d1f0734e0766465b905bae1a312fe487793be3b8f7 has among others the following characteristics:

 # Mining
 
-Since Peercoin is a fork of Bitcoin, is uses the same SHA-256 encryption and protocol for mining.  This means anything that any hardware that can mine BTC can mine Peercoin as well.  For the majority of people, joining a mining pool will bring the highest profit versus solo mining.

 ## Mining Confirmations
 
- Once a block has been mined, 520 blocks must be passed for the mining to be confirmed.  This is roughly 3.61 days of time.
