    Proof of Stake only shines compared to Proof of Work. There’s no consensus algorithm that isn’t blown out of the water by conventional database tech performance-wise and there never will be because of the network character of blockchain tech.

    Why do you use Lemmy, which is far less efficient than a centralized system, because of its network character?

      Lemmy’s waste of energy is negligible compared to crypto token systems. Also transaction throughput isn’t a requirement - if my shitpost comments take an hours to get through, literally nobody cares.

      That gotta be the worst false equivalency argument I’ve ever seen.
