Developers Ethereum released some details of the future protocol Casper. The main part of the new release - Ethereum network transition from PoW (proof of work) at the PoS (proof of stake). The most important task after the transition will be to ensure network security, as PoS by nature more prone to network attacks as compared to the PoW. However, in addition to the network security there are other issues that require discussion.
Switching from PoW at PoS - a significant milestone in the development of network Ethereum. Staying on the principle of PoW is inappropriate from an economic point of view, because over time this leads to high inflation. Daylight PoS will be held in the near future.
community's attention was attracted by some of the details of the new concept: after passing all the shares that are in the wallets of users will be their rates. This means that users will be able to earn on these rates, but also possible that some of the holders of the share balance decreases with time, because betting you can not only win, but also to lose. It's a strange scenario cryptocurrency before seen in the world, and community members raised the question of the safety of their investments.
It is also possible the formation of equity pools, where their owners will be able to bet other people's money. While it remains unclear whether there are special guides to prevent interest rates on a random basis. Moreover, owners can earn equity pools, managing the assets of its users. This is similar to the way banks in the "big world" manage assets of its depositors.
If we assume that the special measures, there is another question to be taken to prevent the centralization of equity pools. Some members of the community have suggested that this will lead to the centralization of shares in the hands of wealthy investors. Simply put, without a large equity stake holder pools must be rich to have a competitive advantage over others who want to gain control over the network.
It is noted that the full protocol specification has not yet been approved and many contentious issues can be resolved in the coming months. The fact that there are different views on the PoS, is commendable, but before going to the decisive action concept needs to be once again worked out taking into account the issues raised among the developers.
