What is PoS (Proof of Stake)?

“Proof-of-stake is a method of securing a cryptocurrency network through requesting users to show ownership of a certain amount of currency. It is different from proof-of-work systems that run hashing algorithms to validate electronic transactions. It is most commonly used as a supplement to proof-of-work in Peercoin^[1] and a few other electronic currencies.” (including Mintcoin) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-stake
