PLATINCOIN is a Proof-of-Stake coin that is minted instead of mined. Users participate in managing the network by renting hardware space from the project organizers for a period of 36 months. These computing resources will drive the PoS consensus, and the users that rent the hardware will be rewarded with newly minted PLC coins.

Sharechain is developing a Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency platform. Their network is currently fueled by the Ethereum-based SSS token. Their marketing materials are unclear and do not offer any information about its advantages.
