I assume you agree with my argument. It's reasonable to assume that block delay in PoW network has log-normal distribution too. Let's see what will happen if we add delay due to th…

Don't you think this claim should be supported by some reputable secondary source?

You appeal to your intuition. However, it could be misleading. Log-normal distribution has been found in many real world processes. Could you explain where is multiplication in cas…

But it doesn't mean there should be a normal distribution there! Have you ever heard about log normal distribution?

Is that a link to fairy tales from Vitalik? The fact that "stateless client" is written in Ethereum 2.0 roadmap is an evidence that this project has no future.

What has happened in 2014? Is that a time when brain-washing campaign in crypto-media has been started? "Slashing" is not a solution to this problem.

Block propagation time is only a part of the problem and it doesn't make sense to consider it separately from other parameters. By the way, why do you think block times in PoS have…

But at what cost? There is no chance it could preserve the same level of decentralization.

There is no validation of blocks in a "stateless manner". Network is secured by those validators who know what they validate.
