> PoS is a pretty broken system imo

You could have a PoS currency that would initially distribute all coins evenly across the globe (that would be a really cool experiment). But yeah I don't like PoS either.

The only way this could work would be to force people to register their wallet address using some kind of government ID to prove that they are unique. But at that point you’re back to having created a completely centralised system.
