And the counter argument:

Until POS or DPOS is completely broken these issues are just theoretical and I don't think POS (or DPOS) or POW can be broken... at least no one has proven it yet.  Grin

So your counter argument is you prefer to wait until someone has actually implemented the described attacks before taking action?
Nothing in your link from January counters this paper released days ago.


Ok.  Go ahead and break it.  You have nothing at stake and nothing to loose.  Don't talk about it.  Do it... and if you dont, then you yourself have proven that it can't be done.
