This is a solid idea, but needs more currencies like Cardano and Polkadot that claim energy efficiency as their strength

- ujuj 5y agoWouldn't it be harder to evaluate in PoS-based cryptocurrencies?
- baby 5y agoNot really, you can evaluate PoS-based by the bandwidth and the message complexity of their consensus mechanism and the space required to sync and run a node.
- 0134340 5y agoPoS still encourages using more powerful hardware and faster internet because it equates to more transactions. That said, I've seen people use Pi's as stakers. But you can still test the current draw per transaction much the same as with PoW currencies.
- baby 5y agoMore power doesn’t equate to more throughput in PoS schemes, unless everyone is increasing their power and communication isn’t your bottleneck, but even then there’s a quick ceiling you’ll reach.

- everfree 5y agoPoS-based cryptocurrencies use thousands of times less electricity than PoW-based ones, so all PoW cryptos would be above all PoS cryptos in the ranking. It wouldn't be an interesting chart.
