  Genuinely asking: do people here still care about blockchain? I used to work in the space, I’m not trying to be nasty. Just that it seems the interest has vanished

  What’s with the hate for proof-of-stake? Seems like the hate is directed towards the fact that those have more to stake, benefit more.

  Can’t the same argument be made about proof-of-work? Those who have the ability to buy more compute, also benefit more.

  Instead of buying GPUs/ASICs for mining you’re buying into the network you’re trying to secure.

  Proof of stake: Government of the rich, for the rich, by the rich.

  Can't anybody do better?

  Someone wanted to fix block chains now we have one more problem XD

  Btw to add content: exchang between block chains is not a solved problem. Adding more doesn't help

  Proof of stake is exactly a scam.
