@cobordism @hyc @voxel no, #ProfOfStake does concentrate wealth by virtue of having a minimum cap to allow for participation.

• In case of #Ethereum that #PoS cap was (please feel free to correct me) at 10 ETH, so deep in tue 6-figure (€) area...

With #ProofOfWork there is at least no minimum #hashrate to participate and participating in a #pool dies not necessitate to trust someone with funds.

• OFC I don't deny that #PoW (like #PoS) requires money to participate (as in neither hardware nor electricity nor bandwith being free). But I'm shure we can agree that getting that is way cheaper than the budget that can buy a house (or sometimes two) in rural Germany.
