CoinMarketCap and Luxcore bring you: Proof of Stake
From the CMC editorial desk: Having read all kinds of articles about Proof of Stake, we started wanting to see the whole picture, explained in the same place, in an easy-to-understand way. We got Luxcore to write for this week's primer on Proof of Stake - hope you find it as good (and funny) a summary as we did!

Luxcore to be listed on Bitfineon
Bitfineon is the compelling new decentralized exchange soon to be launched by our good friends at the Alqo project. As you know, Luxcoin is already listed on the Bitshares-based Crypto-Bridge, and is soon to be the star feature on Luxcore's own LuxGate. We are such big believers in blockchain decentralization, though, that when the opportunity came along to be among the launch coins on Bitfineon we leapt at it!
Bitfineon remains for the time being in development, as the Alqo team is very thorough in their testing procedures, just like the Luxcore dev team. But if you'd like a sneak peek (Editor's note: a "sneak peak" is a sleuthing mountain) at what trading on Bitfineon might look like, check out the following preview:

Well, the proof (of stake) is in the pudding (of steak?). We have completed our first successful test using the Lux PoS web wallet with the Espers Coin PoS blockchain.

Everything ran smoothly and worked perfectly. What should be the next coin you would like to see run a series of tests with $LUX POS Web Wallet? pic.twitter.com/pm8o3ZdhGI
