PoS will turn into a stealth PoW if it is possible in any way to influence the outcome with money. The history of all economic activity shows people being willing to spend $49.99 to make $50. Though spending $49.99 of bank balance probably beats $49.99 of carbon.
Have they got a proof of concept as yet, or is this all still vaporware that nobody on this thread should be talking about in the present tense?
- antocv 9y agoStill vaporware.
- ChrisClark 9y agoYeah, they have a proof of concept code up on their github, only started on it in the past few weeks though. Up till now it's all been math and research.
- cdetrio 9y agoThe first casper PoC was in 2015, and PoC2 was in early 2016.[1] However, there was a pivot from the early "consensus-by-bet" to the current version, which is based on "prepare and commit" messages. I think the current one is PoC4.
