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.

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.
So if I personally lack the ability to implement the described attacks (and I'm not going to volunteer whether or not this is true), or I refuse to perform the attacks on moral grounds, then the attacks cannot be done by others?
Your faith in my skills is appreciated, but the latter can be seen as an invalid argument. The attacks are certainly still possible by others regardless of my own moral objections.
