What do you think POS?

La preuve d'enjeu ou preuve de participation ou Proof-of-stake (PoS) en anglais est une méthode par laquelle une chaîne de blocs d'une crypto-monnaie vise à atteindre un consensus distribué.

This question is asking for opinions on using Proof-of-Stake as a means of establishing a distributed consensus through the block chain. My opinion is that in a closed system, RAFT is going to be way more efficient. In an open system, POS makes some sense as the "owners" are forming the consensus. You have to make sure that ownership is broad enough and relatively evenly distributed to avoid your distributed system being (effectively) owned by someone who "owns" a majority of the total stake.

Why is it written in French? Even if your English level is low, a poorly worded and incorrect English summary is better than one written in a foreign language. Also Google translate gives OK results.
