Re: Nothing-at-Stake & Long Range Attack on Proof-of-Stake (Consensus Research)
If you are speaking about the past years this simply isn't factual. PoS coins have almost all proven to be ICO scams or pump and dump opportunities.
This is true. I wondered if most ICO scams choose PoS variants because they cannot easily get network backing using PoW?
My guess would be that PoS is a useful "buzz word" that few people have actually researched, but that seems to be really cool.
Marketing 101.
It's one of the reasons I am glad research that is verifiable is finally being done. It's a lot harder to make claims when there are verifiable counter arguments around.
