Great. I would like to hear some of your opinions on what aspects PoW maintains that are superior to PoS, if any.

Unlike PoW, PoS can't use Simple Payment Verification method. This is where PoW is superior. (http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/29476/what-are-some-of-the-pitfalls-of-a-100-proof-of-stake-currency-pos-like-nxt/)

One good point.
I believe there are multiple weaknesses within PoW.
Do you believe there is any security advantages intrinsic within PoW, which PoS lacks? (whether or not PoS is superior to PoW overall is another question)
