### What is PoS? 
As you can read on [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-stake)
> Proof-of-stake (PoS) is a type of algorithm by which a cryptocurrency blockchain network aims to achieve distributed consensus. Unlike proof-of-work (PoW) based cryptocurrencies (such as bitcoin), where the algorithm rewards participants who solve complicated cryptographical puzzles in order to validate transactions and create new blocks (i.e. mining), in PoS-based cryptocurrencies the creator of the next block is chosen in a deterministic (pseudo-random) way, and the chance that an account is chosen depends on its wealth (i.e. the stake). In PoS cryptocurrencies the blocks are usually said to be forged (in the blacksmith sense of this word), or minted, rather than mined.

### How to stack in Bitradio?

First thing you need to do is download, open and sync your wallet. 
You can download wallet from [here.](http://bitrad.io/?ref=41049#download)

There are some rules about stacking. First your coin need to get "mature". On Bitrad.io forum you can read it takes 8h, but I noticed it takes about 10h. Maybe it's 8h after it will get 10 confirmation not 8h from when you can see transaction. 

Anyway if you have your wallet opened and coins that are on same address for more then 8h you are stacking. And if you are lucky you can mint new coins. Every block you extract will give you 0.5 BRO.   

You can check if everything is fine and you are stacking properly in 2 ways.  First one is easy but not so precise. 
1.  Put your mouse pointer on thunder on right-bottom corner. You will get something like that. I think its pretty clear and you don't need any more explanation.

2. You need to open console, to do it go to *help*, *debug window* and then *console*  and type *getstakinginfo*. It will give you more information. And more precise time, because *expectedtime* is in seconds so you can divide it by 60 to get minutes, then by another 60 to get time in hours and if you want you can divide it by 24 to get that time in days. 

### Geting more BRO coins to start stacking. 

You can get BRO coins just by simple listening to radio.  Just register [here.](http://bitrad.io/?ref=41049)
And of course you can buy and sell them on exchanges. 
1. [Tradesatoshi](https://tradesatoshi.com/Exchange/?market=BRO_BTC)
2. [Cryptopia](https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Register?referrer=mattuk) - these one stopped trading BRO becouse of wallet problems but devs says new wallet should be fine.

All links cointains reflinks. It cost you nothing to use them but it help me a little bit.
