not paying much attention
but POS discussion wise..
benefits of PoS is defense against rogue PoW hash.
for any "low value" shit coin.. this is very useful to keep the blocks reasonably consistent rather than at the mercy of anyone with a vaguely mediocre farm.
we went with constant block rewards because it is a simple way to encourage more staking inputs.
with many coins, it's more profitable to keep your coins in a single input, quicker to stake meaning higher compounding return.
not good for network
with constant reward it is more profitable to earn more stakes over time than the quick bang .. good for network
i recall reading some discussion on removing coinweight from calculations, which also encourage more staking inputs .. was that PoS2?

also LOCO is a current "new" staking coin. it's actually left its seriously high return periods but is still high.
dev developed some personal issues just after release, but is still around, and suggests he will be back in the saddle in the next few days.

PoW constant reward of 5 coins/block
edit.
actually, there were some "benefits" to the dev not being entirely present.
the minimum stake age during the first 20k blocks or so was accidentally set to 24hrs rather than the 6hr in the OP.
this resulted in most blocks during that period being earned via PoW rather than a massive spike in growth via PoS.
one could only hope for possibly two stakes during each mega high reward section rather than eight or so.
