You seem to have implied that the ARCH network itself is insecure because it is POS, that is why I felt so inclined as to remind you that the fault is your own.

Anyway, best of luck to you in the future.

I was agreeing with KenChanYu post about POS. Seems he has a point. Not just ARCH but all POS coins that require staking wallets to keep the network running. Does leave the users vunerable to attack, doesn't it?

Staking can never be mainstream because of security risk. To be safe you need VM,linux.... Too much to know for normal person

I agree. This really made me aware that a staking wallet is fair game for hackers.

They only have to run a wallet to get the Peers IP addresses.

Any security hole,  bug unpatched or 0 Day on the host OS and the staking wallet can be compromised.
