> can be deployed after PoS hits. Why is this considered a solution? All it does is formalize Vitalik's control over the network. If he doesn't like it, it gets forked. Not to mention, do you know how few Ethereum nodes there are that /actually/ verify the contracts? Proof of Stake isn't going to incentivize anyone to execute the contracts on the scale that is needed to maintain this network. Sharding won't work if there aren't enough people to work with. What about DoS contracts? I know for a fact, that I can write code to brick SSDs by writing as much as possible to them. I honestly have no idea why anyone thinks joining into a botnet that allows arbitrary code execution is okay. Furthermore, all it takes is a single vulnerability in the Ethereum VM to cause a chain split that could, theoretically, throw every node off.
