A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

This is a serious question - I’m genuinely trying to think this through. Isn’t POS just POA where authorities provide a surety, and the network rules just work out if a debit/credit is made on an account based on what is observed, and membership votes cast based on what is observed?

Tradfi coder by day, hacker by night. Doesn’t know night from day. Freelance scribe. Dad cook. Dog butler.  Happy Grandpa. Draws badly.

POA where A is can be anyone with a stake

With the main difference that PoS validators put their stake on the line. They will lose it if they're behaving maliciously.
