Kind of like we have to give the prize to the 2nd or 3rd place runner, cause the 1st one was too fast.
It would affect staking for a lot of users, but would be worth it, if it could remove the 51% vulnerability for all POS coins.
but you didn't solve anything... how do you know the 2nd or 3rd place runners are not the attacker? maybe he placed the first one to trick you into selecting the second one which is also his...
Thanks for responding, it would not know if the 2nd or 3rd place or 15th are attacks or normal,
it would only block everything that could be a potential attack , which means some normal stakers would also have their stakes blocked , if it had the potential and was over the % line and only allow stakers below the % to ever add any stakes.  Basically can not a filter using some calculations involving total # of coins and current difficulty be created to block potential attacks , even though it will also block some normal stakers.
That is what I was wondering.

Thanks,
