Proof of Stake (PoS): Determine bookkeeping rights based on coin holdings/duration, no need for computing power

Unlike PoW, which relies on computing power competition for bookkeeping rights, PoS distributes these rights based on how many virtual coins a node holds and how long it locks them up (called “staking”).
