yeah bro i have heard up on both these. the work shares I thought was a good idea, I kinda had a similar idea for doing it so P2Pool is the same as a regular pool. but it doesn't help above 51%. it sounds like an easy small win, so why not
note the work shares podcast guy got me thinking of more debate points, as earlier we discussed nym. nym vpn is proof of stake, and rewards the nodes based on the stake amount and not primarily how much traffic they route. so that's the opposite of my goals, which is to empower smaller providers and be more decentralized. And the work-shares podcast speech really drives home how proof of stake helps the initial early people compound wealth, but that's the opposite of what someone would want for a VPN that's fighting against a large adversary to blend in, where adoption and smaller providers are the key.
then on the other interview of the proof of stake finality layer, the thing is luke parker said on that monerotalk interview that the 10-block lock does NOT need to be there EVEN NOW. which really raises the question of why it's there to begin with
