Novacoin (NVC) is both a crypto pioneer and the coin of the feature! Its unique way of utilizing both Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) for block generation with separated target limits make it truly stand out. In fact, its success can be readily seen across the cryptosphere, where the original NVC code serves as a foundation for numerous other PoS and hybrid PoS/PoW projects.
