From 2014 to 2015 I was fascinated with altcoins/cryptocurrencies that staked, meaning they earned additional coins like interest by holding the coins in a wallet on your computer "open for staking" until the coins hit a certain maturity based on the developers parameters. As a result, a staking wallet's balance would increase when the staking deposits would arrive and you can do whatever you want with your earned stake, sell it off for bitcoin or let it compound into your staked balance of coins.
Out of all the different flavors of coins I've staked, Hyperstake has always been my favorite so I wanted to pay tribute to the developer presstab and Hyperstake with this post.

Investing in cryptocurrencies is risky business so please do your own research first and never invest money you can't afford to lose.
Have a great weekend, @bluehorseshoe
