I wouldn't say PoS security has to be driven by the rich, but by whoever is staking, which people could be staking small like lets say 1 ETH total. The security is derived simply b…

The point is it mitigates the on-chain attack surface which is still prevalent on PoW. Off-chain attacks are still possible for all consensus mechanism.

I'd further add on to say PoS has the benefit of being able to eliminate bad actors unilaterally. You can't stop anyone from attacking a PoW chain over and over again. Attacking a …

Yup and accordingly PoS devs have explicitly stated this incentivizes stakers to be spread out, and not only on infrastructure but software, as there are multiple client implementa…

To add on to this, you can still improve the code quality while building on it by adding tests as you go, so you can have some solace and also sanity when testing your own code.

I didn't, I was looking for a specific kind of work (Ethereum related) and it just so happened to be in Netherlands.

Moved from U.S. to Netherlands 6 months ago, and will stay for at least another year. I moved for work, and I gained a cool new project to work on and new adventures, but didn't ha…

Depends on the specific implementation. Just because you do it on a blockchain doesn't mean you can't require people to show up to a polling center and sign transactions in person.…

https://github.com/ConsenSys/smart-contract-best-practices/b... Bullet #1: Prepare for failure

I wouldn't say Ether is trying to replace Bitcoin's use case (at least not yet). The real, better cryptocurrency will probably be a stable token running on Ethereum.

Good use cases exist because of the viability of the platform, not of their popularity. And even I meant to communicate financial "business logic", which is widely used in ICO's.

This statement is too broad. Current state of software is only appropriate for some use cases. Email/text messaging (like 4chan) are not practical uses. Financial business logic ha…
