It doesn't make sense for most FairCoin users to currently run a full staking node.  And only really makes sense for large wallet holders to do so.  Which means only they'd benefit from the staking and the largest of the largest wallet holders would benefit the most.

But running a faircoin node is very easy and cheap. Everyone can do it and it protect the network. Staking is a small reward for doing so, like getting few cents every few days. By removing staking, less node will protect the network as there is no incentitive.  Network security is important otherwise it can open doors to attack vectors.

Yes but most computer users are not PC users anymore and especially so in the 'global south'.  While you can only stake with a PC be it a Rpi even.

Ho well anyway, I think faircoin will eventuallty moving away from PoS, as thokon00 said.  Wink
