Re: Proof-of-stake can never scale without blowing up, because PoS isn't trustless
Longest Chain with the Most Difficulty Wins, PoS or PoW
PoS doesn't have a longest chain dufus. That has been the entire point that has been made to you over and over again. There is no work proven with PoS, thus no way to measure the length of the chain relative to any other. There is no computational limit that prevent making a new chain from as far back as the genesis block. The only protection are checkpoints, adhoc social contract, and thus centralization.
How many times does someone have to repeat the same information for you to absorb it in your retarded skull?
Ok,
I get it you are just stupid.
Longest Chain with the Most Difficulty Wins , PoS or PoW
They have the same protection, higher the difficulty and the longer the chain the more secure they are.
Saying Proof of stake does not have it shows you are not as smart as you think you are.
FYI:
Bitcoin uses checkpoints
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=194078.0
Checkpoints are optional for either PoS or PoW, you trying to make out like it is a big deal is ridiculous.
FYI2: Proof of Stake Chain Length grows with each Block and its Accumulated Difficulty
cumulative difficulty value is stored as a parameter in each block, and each subsequent block derives its new difficulty from the previous blocks value. In case of ambiguity, the network achieves consensus by selecting the block or chain fragment with the highest cumulative difficulty.
