There is nothing wrong with using the word "stake", it's when you use it in the phrase "proof of stake" (or POS for short) where you are changing the meaning to something it is not. Instead of him acting like a child over me pointing this out, he gets his panties in a twist that I'm trolling. Time to put big boy pants on and sack up.
PoS is becoming a rubbery term like blockchain, if we want noobies to understand replying with a 'No' without any further explanation is not helpful and looks like FUD. He clearly intended to point out NN are selected based on stake via an election. Nothing too wrong there, maybe he could have said NN selection is similar to delegated PoS,
the takeaway for noobs is dPoW doesn't require burning huge amounts of electricity or warehouses full of hardware, anyone can run in the election even if they own zero kmd.
