i was wandering in the future can bitcoin switch to proof of stake?

This is an obvious troll thread that belongs in alt coins. Bitcoin has never considered any other design. Please move this thread.

Who is this bitcoin you speak of and when can we get an official statement?

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Prohibited_changes

There is nothing stopping you from making a hard fork. This isn't even a dispute. I don't know why the wiki says such nonsense. Good luck getting miners to switch to your fork.

The wiki says adding Proof of Stake elements to the Proof of Work would be a disputed change...because it is. Why is that nonsense?

Claiming something and doing something are two different things. Apparently this is the wiki author's opinion. That doesn't make it so. If someone wants to do it then they should go ahead and do it. Unless what you mean is that begging everyone to follow you is a bad idea. The begging part is in dispute.

Ok fair enough, but then by the same token, we can also say that the assertion "it is nonsense" is simply your opinion too. Agree?

Technically rejecting an unsubstantiated argument doesn't require evidence.

You're not making sense.

The wiki says this.

Adding alternatives to Proof of Work such as Proof of Stake. This could change core bitcoin too much, but with widespread agreement of some sort might be possible.

I think that's pretty accurate. You can disagree, but so far you haven't convinced me why you're right and the wiki is wrong.

I concede the point because I don't understand it. Maybe someone should write a white paper on how it would be done so I have facts to deal with.
