goatmeal on Nostr: proof of stake doesn't have less censorship resistance than proof of work. both ...
proof of stake doesn't have less censorship resistance than proof of work. both styles are observed to have the same degree of vulnerability to OFAC compliance (some), and the same mitigation (wait longer). if you want maximum censorship resistance, it doesn't matter if there is proof of work or proof of stake. you need to take away the ability for block producers to discriminate the transactions in the mempool by making them all look the same.
