Proof of work (PoW) is a form of cryptographic proof in which one party (the prover) proves to others (the verifiers) that a certain amount of a specific computational effort has been expended. [1] Verifiers can subsequently confirm this expenditure with minimal effort on their part.
Peercoin, also known as Peer-to-Peer Coin, PP Coin, or PPC, is a cryptocurrency utilizing both proof-of-stake and proof-of-work systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is notable as the first cryptocurrency to implement the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism .
However, as of 2017, PoS cryptocurrencies were still not as widely used as proof-of-work cryptocurrencies. [19] [20] [21] In September 2022, Ethereum, the world second largest cryptocurrency in 2022, switched from proof of work to a proof of stake consensus mechanism system, [22] after several proposals [23] [24] and some delays. [24] [25]

The names were changed in 2017 to NEO and GAS. 2014 ...
As of 2018, coins were mined using a proof of work algorithm with a hash function called "X11", with eleven rounds of hashing, and the average time to mine a coin was around two and a half minutes. [ 1 ]
Primecoin (Abbreviation: XPM) is a cryptocurrency that implements a proof-of-work system that searches for chains of prime numbers. [2] [3] History
Bitcoin Cash uses a proof-of-work algorithm to timestamp every new block. It can be described as a partial inversion of a hash function. Bitcoin Cash targets a new block to be generated every ten minutes on average.
Transactions are validated through a miner network running RandomX, a proof-of-work algorithm. The algorithm issues new coins to miners and was designed to be resistant against application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining.
