The most popular consensus mechanisms.
Proof of Stake protocols are gaining traction.
What about you, personally?
Are you mining, are you staking, or are you doing both? And why?
The idea of minning of coins is in degrees and loads of projects have decided to come up with the option of staking as it is less easy, consumes just a little finance compared to the normal minner that bitcoins minning rigs consume. Stakings however, have a way of giving some degree of confidence to those who have more coins staked and earning more with respect to the coins staked.
