That seems to create a false dichotomy, analogous to suggesting that the effort to protect security is misguided because law enforcement should solve the problem, not protocol designers. As someone who works on Ethereum blockchains I concur that PoW is a terrible thing. It has served a purpose, but I, like very many in the protocol design side am very pleased that the work to get rid of it is progressing, and unhappy it took us this long. Your mileage may vary, which is why rough consensus is important to how we make decisions. Thus far it isn't obvious how the disadvantages of PoW are outweighed by the advantages of using it here (noting that for each individual the weighting is a somewhat subjective judgement). cheers -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
