gollark: * either → any
gollark: The "cryptocurrencies" without either of those are stupid and not decentralized.
gollark: Specifically: proof of stake is basically built-in compounding inequality; proof of space burns disks instead.
gollark: Proof of work is rather awful because it actively requires burning compute for no value, but all the alternatives are really bad too.
