  • Low returns and people leaving is not a problem.

    There will still be enough validators to secure the network. The remaining will get a higher return.

  • Pre 2008 conviction contacts can be excused by ignorance. E.g. Stephen Hawking visited Epstein Island with other scientists in 2006.

    Gates was happy to make house visits to Epstein in 2011-2014

  • How is that misleading

    The word elected implies power. Having more money staked doesn't give you any more abilities over a capital poor user.

    proof of stake sounds like rich get richer scheme

    Like all capitalism. An interest bearing bank account is a rich get richer scheme.

    In PoS you do still have to do a bit of work for your money (hardware, power, network connection, verification).

  • Only the price of oil going to 0 will stop oil companies sucking the ground dry.

    If oil were $10 there would be much less corruption.

  • PoS must always have a return competitive with other investments.

    No. It needs to offer a reward enough to pay the minimum number of validators needed to establish a secure network.

    2x the number of stakers means 1/2 the return for each validator, but the network doesn't care about that.

  • Ethereum.

    The overall network issuance rate is fixed and currently roughly 4.5% per year. If more people stake then less is received per person.

    Minimal stake is is $75k per validator.

    This stake is slashed if you are dishonest.

  • If all contributors are trusted entities,

    This is not true, even inside a bank. Employees commit fraud. Branches don't trust each other.

    the amount of extra work to maintain

    Once built, maintaining is easy.

    and modify the blockchain

    Er. The whole point is that blockchains are immutable.

  • Even if they invested all their income into wind and solar, oil companies were never going to stop sucking oil out of the ground.

  • Why? If the rewards are fixed and independent of the amount staked then there is no issue.

  • Proof of Stake: the one with most money is most likely to be elected.

    This is misleading. Winning the validation election doesn't give you more power.

    The one who is most dishonest gets their stake burned.

  • If this is only 2% milk, what is the other 98%?

    Reminds me of 10% free

  • Which is why the headline focusing on Russians seems like deflection/damage control.

  • if you've claimed any free games on Epic, you can use Heroic launcher to manage them easily.

    Oooh. This is interesting. I wonder how much of the epic library is Linux compatible.

  • To not specifically define AGI was sloppy.

  • I don't understand the spending of millions on marketing.

  • Sonar?
