I had an awesome chat with @NotAWiz4rd of the Noir Coin team.  We discussed their transition from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake.  This decision was made by the community.  Their development is community-driven and all decisions and made by the community.  It's an awesome project and I'm so proud to have them as my sponsors.  To learn more about this fantastic community and their privacy coin Noir, visit www.noirofficial.org
