> "Difficulty" isn't a thing in PoS
Yes it is. The more people with coins actively minting in the system, the higher the difficulty of getting chosen. Please do more research.
If you really want to keep discussing this with me, read through the WHOLE of https://github.com/fresheneesz/validatedProofOfStake and show me a full attack on it.
> FWIW, I'm not a PoS detractor.
You could have fooled me. But it sounds like you're saying you believe in Vitalik, and anyone else on the internet (ie me) must be idiots who can't understand solutions to these problems. Yet, you're not putting in the effort to understand the solutions out there. PoS protocols are more complex than PoW - there are more edge cases to shore up. So telling me you can "trivially" get around any particular solution ignores the fact that solutions work together. They aren't isolated. So slow down and actually try to understand a protocol holistically before attacking it. If you're not a detractor, than how about just trying to learn instead of insulting the intelligence of people who have actually worked on solutions to these problems?
The motivation for C++ code to compare the chain work is in the original 2009 Bitcoin whitepaper. Excerpt:
>We have proposed a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust. We started with the usual framework of coins made from digital signatures, which provides strong control of ownership, but is incomplete without a way to prevent double-spending. To solve this, we proposed a peer-to-peer network using proof-of-work to record a public history of transactions that quickly becomes computationally impractical for an attacker to change if honest nodes control a majority of CPU power.

“Gee, do we really need this new token and blockchain?”
“Couldn’t there be other ways of doing this which aren’t obviously designed to enrich the founders?”
Put simply, launching a superfluous blockchain and token is just poor etiquette, and the people who point out this dynamic don’t deserve to be dismissed with endearing terms.
Bitcoiners have nothing against defi, it’s just a question of whether a new token or blockchain is needed to do the things these people purportedly want to do for the world, or whether the new token/blockchain is really just a pretense for self-enrichment.
