Could unlucky ETH miners loose all your wealth runnign new Caspar betting PoS?

If I understand it right, new Casper design is based on betting and unlucky miners might end up in loosing money, not earning as usually expected. So without a proper risk management your wealth (coins) is really exposed?

And if so, who really wants to do that?

Staking and mining are both minting methods but staking is not mining.

So then the risk is in staking. Still, could that reduce your stake to 0?

Where can I read the information about all of this?

I CBA to find the source but I read that while it's possible it's very unlikely. You basically have to bet against the whole network for it to happen.

Too long to watch. Can somebody just sum it up for me?

Yes. We have to think about the future of our graphics card after the mining stage. The hashing rate is 760GH, that is equal to 34,000 280x cards.

So you have to be a realistc validator (?) to be profitable.
Anyone volunteer to calc the risks out rigorously?

If these graphics cards are used for other mining, it will raise the difficulty of those coins dramatically. There will not be profitable mining left.

The Decred is quite profitable to mine at the present. The profitability is similar to that of the Ethereum. I hope that mining will last longer.

The network hash rate is 1260GH/s now. That is just 21 days from the last post. That is 65% in 21 days, or 105% in 30 days.
