" If the coin is designed in a secure way, with high difficulty and a diverse group of stakers, then there isn't anything to worry about and a checkpoint server would in my opinion make it less secure, as you have a single agent that can either mismanage the chain or intentionally exploit it. "

" Checkpoint servers are a centralized point of failure and in my opinion are not needed in most cases. I have seen checkpoint servers orphan blocks that shouldn't have been orphaned and also seen them roll back chains that should not have been rolled back. The blockchain rules are enough to keep the chain secure. "

Quotes that I agree with from Presstab.

We have permanent staking nodes in place, and a checkpoint server was not something we were interested in implementing.
