Now I see what you mean.
Having PoW ruins the "energy efficient" image of TES
Having PoS means you have to have a very high % of the total supply "staking" to have an stable network. (let's say 90%, so if any big dog sends his coins (10%), it's still 80% of the coins staking)
Did I get it right?
Yes. I'm just throwing out various ideas and "thinking out loud" about this. Frankly, I'm concluding that regardless of the issues I have raised, PoS may make it the best option (or some variation therefrom). Doesn't require a lot of computing power (especially versus PoW) and allows the network to run. Are there times where there might be hiccups? Yes. But that's always a reality of coins, perhaps it is, for most situations, irrelevant in this discussion, I'm not sure.
Energy efficiency, again, if I have to "mine" with a 1kwh ASIC miner (being more efficient than any normal computer with a wallet or mining program) just to have a chance to get the block with the minimal fees, that's, in the higher range of various areas, like $.40 an hour, $9.20 a day, or $276 a month. As you put it, letting a raspberry pi do the work associated with PoS is substantially cheaper (at $1 a month). A raspberry pi would be incapable of doing the PoW as people would compete and provide more and more powerful computers to try and complete the PoW faster than the next person to get the transaction fees. So with the raspberry pi we really would need PoS or some variation based upon PoS.
I really appreciate you thinking out loud. That's what we need to improve.
