Proof of Work is Only Viable Model

Outsideness is arguing POW and POS, so now I'm going to argue for proof-of-work without trying to understand either side. (Both sides are American or American-derived, after all.)

Ref: Szabo, money needs to be unforgeable costly. Otherwise you get rampant counterfeiting, which is merely first among several pathologies.

Proof of stake is not inherently costly. Work is inherently costly.
Anything which uses POS is a communist piece of shit.

New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually.
Blogger deliberately trying to kill itself, I expect.
Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
