About This Document
Mohammad A. AlAhmad, Abdullah Al-Saleh, and Fahad A. AlMasoud contrast proof of work with proof of stake in digital-currency systems. The paper considers decentralization, mining, stability, and the practical reasons a cryptocurrency might select one model over the other.
Why Bitcoin People May Care
Written in 2018, the paper contains period-specific terminology and historical simplifications. It remains useful as a concise record of how PoW and PoS were being compared while Ethereum’s transition was still a proposal and Bitcoin’s mining model supplied the obvious baseline.
