On a deeply technical level I wouldn't be able to tell which type is best. All I can say is that for a currency that uses PoW, to have a separate party managing the security, transaction speed and inflation rate is just grossly unelegant. The idea of having giant mining farms pools calling the shot over a coin is just jarring. There's just always contention between holders and miners in PoW coin communities. I liked how scrypt provided a solution to the original PoW and I liked it even better when PoS appeared and internalised all the work of the miners into those who actually held and used the coins.
So yeah. People are catching up to PoS. It already has worked fine for years now without much controversy. Most PoS coins could have handled their early distribution better, but now that these coins have matured at a very low price that argument is getting weaker by the day.
If its useful to the community, it should occur without needing to be anyones opinions or agenda exactly.
Yes. I wholeheartedly agree with that.
