I see what you mean, but how would you then guarantee that the interests would be paid ? As it seems to be the number 1 thing to do IMO.
Is there a coin that pays interests without POS ? Through POW ? (a POW transaction that would check what interests need to be paid and proceed to the payments ?)
Interest would be paid when the POS block is accepted by the network. I'm not advocating getting rid of POS as it serves this purpose. Just not giving POS blocks a higher priority over POW. I don't want to change this coin, but open the dialog for the next coin. I'm pondering why the decisions were made as they were.
What I'm seeing now is that, at times, a single POS block is orphaning 20+ POW blocks.
POW blocks have a real cost associated to them as miners use electricity. POS blocks are relatively cheap as the client is already running and no additional electricity is needed. Interest via POS is guaranteed, just may need to wait a bit longer to get accepted by the network and fairly compete with the other blocks.
