I don't agree with what you said
(1) If people want to dump, they will dump anyway regardless the pow or pos.
(2) Even if we distribute jackpot through PoS, it will be depend on the coin-day people have, to be fair. Otherwise people can create zillions wallets each hold a small amount to increase his chance to get the jackpot. The bigger you hashpower is, the more coins you will have, thus the better chance you will get pos jackpot. Therefore, there's not much difference from what we distribute the jackpot now.
(3) Putting jackpot in pow encourages people to mine. Experiences showed that pure PoS coins never really do very well. Without mining, people has less interests on the coin. Pure gaining coins through interests is generally thought to be too slow, and people will prefer to mine, PoS as a supplement is fine, not the main way to gain coins.
Based on these, I think the current jackpot is the best possible way to keep people interested.
My thoughts are that the current environment of pump-and-dump, daily cashout-to-BTC, and where everyone just runs around day trading coins is not a healthy environment for anyone.
The coin/coins that find a way to build loyalty and purpose are the ones that will eventually succeed long term and reward those who have stuck with it.
The great part about PoS is if you give the people a reason to hold the coin that the miners will not just go out and dump it for whatever they can get when they move on after a few weeks.
You have to have incentives and make PoW worth it as well, and that would be the side of the house where games and casinos could help to keep demand for the coin moving and trading.
Both sides need to be addressed I believe, but as the block rewards decrease, and the rate the jackpot grows decreases as well, where will the incentive be to keep mining? The miners will all go away if they aren't making the highest possible daily rate... so I wouldn't base the whole future on the miners.
Just my thoughts... someone has to break away form the standard 3-6 month lifespan of a new coin and have plans for long term interest and health.
Yes I agree. Both pow and pos jackpot will make sense. However, to implement pos jackpot, it will need to change the block protocol, it's a lot of work, and everything including miners will need to be changed too...
