I'm no expert on ethereum POS, but afaik the proofs guarantee that when two conflicting blocks reach the "finalised" state then two thirds of stake are owned by parties that failed to follow a rule in the staking protocol and therefore their deposit can be forfeited. There are also proofs relating to validator cycling and long range attacks (which can never be completely prevented with POS, clients need to sync periodically to make sure they aren't receiving bad data)
- lostmsu 9y agoI am also interested in the details. The critics in my comment was basically targeted towards them not releasing the technical details on their progress on Casper. We already know there were problems with proof of stake consensus algorithms before. I would like to see them telling, that they solved them.
