| A PoI algorithm prioritizes miners based on the number of transactions in the corresponding [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:cryptocurrency|cryptocurrency]] that they perform. The more transactions are made to and from an [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:entity|entity’s]] cryptocurrency [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:bitcoin_wallet|wallet]], the higher that entity’s chances of being given [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:m:mining|mining]] projects are. | A PoI algorithm prioritizes miners based on the number of transactions in the corresponding [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:cryptocurrency|cryptocurrency]] that they perform.

| - | This sets PoI apart from the Proof of Work (PoW) system which was introduced by [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:bitcoin|bitcoin]]. PoW algorithms prioritize entities based on the number of [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:coins|coins]] they mine. This means that the more computing power an entity can provide to a PoW cryptocurrency network, the more coins that entity will be able to mine. The PoW system does not encourage the circulation of cryptocurrency. The pure PoW system is not immune to centralization because priority is automatically given to the entity capable of providing the highest amount of computing power. | + | This sets PoI apart from the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:proof_of_work|Proof of Work (PoW)]] system which was introduced by [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:bitcoin|bitcoin]].

| The PoI system also stands apart from the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:proof_of_stake_pos|Proof of Stake (PoS)]] system. The PoS system prioritizes entities based on how much of the corresponding cryptocurrency they hold. The PoS algorithm automatically assigns mining tasks to miners based on the amount of the corresponding cryptocurrency in their wallets. This provides little incentive to use cryptocurrency as a means of exchange. | The PoI system also stands apart from the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:proof_of_stake_pos|Proof of Stake (PoS)]] system.
