Hello,
noob here, but I would like to add my quick .02 cents.
If it ever reaches the decision point of what's safer, PoS or more hash, I think it's important to emphasize the following point:
- on one side, by buying a PoS coin, they (evil dudes) actually raise the value and they would probably not want to lose value when they decide to dump (although I know there may be very malicious people willing to suffer loses in order to do evil).
- on the other side, by buying GPUs/ASICs/etc. they buy something that is totally unrelated to the coin, they can do evil to as many coins as they want.
If this line of thought is incorrect, please enlighten me. I'm having a lot of fun learning about CryptoCurrency =)
Just wanted to bring this forward while discussion is early.
Thank you,
Janito
