Hence why it can work with algorand.

PoS by itself doesn't incentivize you to include transactions. That's called the "nothing at stake" problem.

That is not true. If network partitions happen in bitcoin you are utterly ducked. The system will fork and good luck to recover from that with all the double spendings.

There is no 51% attack in PoS system. Rather there is a more than 1/3rd attacker problem.

Yes people can duck with a network by cutting cables. This works with all internet protocols.

Usually interface{} is abused by java programmers. I agree that it's not great, but if you don't come from java or c++ chances you won't follow these patterns at least.

Usually, for distributed systems in adversarial settings we talk about safety and liveness. Bitcoin doesn't have safety, and both bitcoin and algorand seems to fail the liveness test as well.

In your terms, both bitcoin and algorand have weak availability.

So I was correct. Thanks. Indeed outlook is the first desktop client in your list.

Unfortunately I am not parroting. If you are used to read code, and you read c++, you will see that templates are abused. No generics force devs to make their code clearer and thus more secure.

It is evident that Go is a better language than most thanks to the creators having deep experience in that domain.
