It's very difficult to compare Lisk Delegates (DPOS) to that of BTC mining (POW). While I can understand the analogy, choosing a Delegates is a democratically process and thus they are heavily involved within the community. A delegate position comes with far more responsibility than many people believe. DPOS and POW are nothing alike, and they should not be compared; there's way too much social behavior involved within DPOS that does not matter for POW.
DPOS doesnt have to come up with far more responsibility.
The network should be empowered to kick any delegate out, who is not sticking to the rules. (Like continuously missing 100 blocks for example)
By running a LISK delegate, I don't like committing myself to babysit the delegate 24 hours a day.
I got my own personal life and I may be unable to reach out for a prolonged period of time, when things actually go wrong in the network.
The misbehaving delegates should automatically be kicked out by the network without any social intervention from any of us.
My 2 cents. Wink
