Curecoin on Chainz (CryptoID)

Proof of Stake

Curecoin uses hybrid Proof-of-Computation (folding) and Proof-of-Stake. Hold CURE in the desktop wallet; unlock the wallet for staking when encrypted (Settings → Unlock for staking in the Qt client, or console walletpassphrase for advanced users).

Staking helps secure the network alongside folding rewards. Coin age and stake weight determine minting chances; see PeerCoin-era documentation linked from historical KB articles for minting fundamentals.

Never share your wallet passphrase. Encrypted backups are critical — see encrypt wallet.
