Most altcoins are Proof of Stake, where mining via computing hashes doesn't take place. "Blockchains" isn't limited to Proof of Work, you can even get non-PoS/PoW blockchains such as Hyperledger.
- drdeca 11y agoWait, most? Do you mean most that aren't autogenerated ones that stop being mined a few months in, or do you mean to include those? I'm a bit surprised about "most" but if you mean "most that do something" then I could believe that, but I am still surprised.
- davidgerard 11y agoI thought "most" altcoins were simple Bitcoin or Litecoin clones with changed parameters. What sort of numbers are you estimating "most" from?
