Hasn't POS been shown to be inferior to PoW due to the nothing's at stake problem? Not trolling genuinely curious as to the status of this

Nope, merely myths propagated by BTC shrills.

Nothing at stake has been handled in 3 different ways,

1. Have a Coin with a Billion or more and this is never a problem.

2. Have extremely low minimum age , before the coins can stake again between 2 and 24 hours .

3. Run a Hybrid PoS/PoW coin, where PoW make up for any lack of stakers or PoS makes up for any lack of PoW miners.

 Cool

FYI:
Check out ZEIT's Block explorer (PoS only coin) over 34 Billion coins, our blocks stake on a more regular basis than even LTC or BTC.   Cheesy
