So where is this peer reviewed journal or even a good thorough discussion of proof of stake? I think it has been dismissed by the code gods.

Interesting discussions are here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37194.0

I'm not sure that the Bitcoin devs (if those are code gods of which you speak) are necessarily dismissive so much as focused on improvements to the existing Bitcoin model.

Those threads were pretty much ignored by most devs. I think I read just about everything on the forums on the matter, it just doesn't seem to be a fleshed out idea. I think Stratum does sort of address creating a network of trust, in addition to pools. We'll see, maybe there is some development going on behind the scenes somewhere that will surprise me.
