Title: What is your favorite proof of mining?
Post by: Abiky on March 24, 2016, 02:51:29 AM
Which of the proof of mining concepts, do you like the most? Proof of Work, Proof of Stake, or other? Please make sure to place your vote from within the poll above and discuss about why you chose that mining concept by replying to this thread.

In my opinion, I think that Proof of Work would be the best to make the coin stronger and have a fair mining distribution (unlike PoS in which the ones with the most coins, get better chances of receiving stakes)  :)

You really like spamming question don't you?

Anyway, staking is not mining. Mining and staking are both minting methods though.

I think pure PoS is based on a fallacy and is a pointless gamble and while PoW has plenty of issues it's much better than PoS.

No but instead I am just asking to discuss about the different types of proof of mining (which I obviously know that PoS is not mining) but I have decided to include it into this discussion as well.

By the way I have forgotten to add the poll to make your votes, but anyone can share about their one of choice by making a reply here.


About PoS, I think the same way as you mate. For me, PoW makes it more fair.  :)
