13:49:51 <mj-xmr[m]> My new CCS proposal for March, or possibly mid-February:
13:49:51 <mj-xmr[m]> https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/283
16:09:04 <lordharnold[m]> why is monero pow?
16:15:24 <entry1[m]> lord harnold:  Better structure for an immutable decentralized consensus, arguably less susceptible to attacks/tampering compared to PoS, and overall better security.
16:15:55 <entry1[m]> That's a non-dev answer
16:20:34 <lordharnold[m]> ah, thanks
16:20:38 <lordharnold[m]> and is there a dev answer?
16:26:49 <entry1[m]> No problem. You'd probably benefit to listening to some of the talks hyc/ArticMine have had on Monero Talk. They are much more knowledgeable and go through what goes into Monero on the mining/mining algorithm portions.
16:29:44 <entry1[m]> Also Tevador etc
16:34:42 <jwinterm[m]> <lordharnold[m]> "and is there a dev answer?" <- There's no real way to incorporate PoS with the current ring signature scheme without breaking anonymity AFAIK
16:35:10 <jwinterm[m]> There's also general skepticism wrt PoS from most folks that work on monero I would guess
16:35:40 <jwinterm[m]> I think Zano is the only PoS cryptonote coin?
16:43:05 <mj-xmr[m]> <jwinterm[m]> "There's also general skepticism..." <- I say, that PoS is an invitation to Ponzi Schemes. In other words: promoting richer participants at the cost of poorer ones.
16:44:32 <mj-xmr[m]> At the same time promoting centralization.
