The Shift From PoW to PoS

從 PoW 到 PoS 的轉變

Recently, a prominent core developer of Dogecoin voiced concerns over the platform’s consensus shifting. Apparently, it went to a level where the developer was ready to quit. The entire chain of events kicked off on 20th August 2023 with an X (formerly Twitter) post. The CEO of blockchain startup Metallicus, Marshall Hayner shared a poll in his post. He asked whether the users will be interested in Dogecoin if its structure changed in PoS.

最近，狗狗幣的一位著名核心開發人員對該平台的共識轉變表示擔憂。顯然，事情發展到了開發商準備退出的程度。整個事件鏈始於 2023 年 8 月 20 日的 X（以前的 Twitter）貼文。區塊鏈新創公司 Metallicus 的執行長 Marshall Hayner 在他的貼文中分享了一項民意調查。他詢問如果狗狗幣的結構在 PoS 中發生變化，用戶是否會對狗狗幣感興趣。

The poll results heavily supported the original PoW with 60.1% votes going in favor of it. At the same time, the core developer who identified as Mishaboar shared some insights into the whole situation.

民調結果大力支持最初的 PoW，有 60.1% 的票數支持。同時，一位名為 Mishaboar 的核心開發人員分享了一些對整個情況的見解。

Staking: Going by the statement, it seems that Mishaboar isn’t really dead against the alternative consensus. He refers to a specific lending-based model as “staking”. The developer stated that such models expose the platform to some real dangers. To execute this model, one needs to have insider information and Mishaboar is not happy with that.

質押：從聲明來看，Mishaboar 似乎並沒有真正反對另一種共識。他將特定的基於借貸的模式稱為「質押」。開發人員表示，此類模型使平檯面臨一些真正的危險。要執行這一模型，需要掌握內幕消息，而米沙博爾對此並不滿意。

Shifting to PoS: Mishaboar also expressed his share of doubts about the PoS consensus. However, he did not express any specific reason for it. Nonetheless, he indicated that he would rather like Dogecoin to adopt another PoW. He also suggested customizing the dog logo.

轉向 PoS：Mishaboar 也表達了他對 PoS 共識的懷疑。不過，他並未透露具體原因。儘管如此，他表示他寧願狗狗幣採用另一種 PoW。他還建議訂製狗標誌。

Emphasis on Research: Michaboar also said that he’s not against the protocol-switching consensus mechanism. He just wants the team to make informed decisions based on research. The developer stressed analyzing data before doing the switch. Also, he gave some risk factors that may jeopardize the functionality of Dogecoin.

強調研究：Michaboar 也表示，他並不反對協議轉換共識機制。他只是希望團隊根據研究做出明智的決定。開發人員強調在進行切換之前分析數據。此外，他還給出了一些可能危及狗狗幣功能的風險因素。

Consensus mechanisms don’t yield the results users expect.

共識機制不會產生使用者期望的結果。

They often come with high levels of centralization and are controlled by developers with sizable holdings.

它們通常具有高度集中化，並由擁有大量股份的開發商控制。

They have a history of big failures.

他們有過重大失敗的歷史。

They can even offer a subpar user experience that frustrates the users.

他們甚至可以提供低於標準的使用者體驗，讓使用者感到沮喪。

Problem with PoS: Mishaboar also expressed concerns about the functionality of PoS. He pointed out the voluminous cryptocurrency supply that is held by exchanges. Also, he highlighted the regulatory deviation of this consensus.

PoS 的問題：Mishaboar 也表達了對 PoS 功能的擔憂。他指出交易所持有大量的加密貨幣供應。此外，他也強調了這項共識的監管偏差。

Benefits of PoS: Besides pointing out the drawbacks, Mishaboar also cited some merits of it. He said that it reduces the consumption of energy and expedites the transactions. At the same time, he offered some counterpoints.

PoS的優點：除了指出缺點之外，Mishaboar還列舉了它的一些優點。他說，這減少了能源消耗並加快了交易速度。同時，他也提出了一些反駁意見。

A large number of transactions don’t require the speed that PoS delivers.

大量交易不需要 PoS 提供的速度。

There are other means to achieve quicker payments. The protocol can deploy payment channels and payment providers.

還有其他方法可以實現更快的付款。該協議可以部署支付管道和支付提供者。

Furthermore, all these solutions come with a centralized disposition.

此外，所有這些解決方案都具有集中配置。

Future of Dogecoin

狗狗幣的未來

Dogecoin is supported by a strong community. With a market cap of $88 Billion, this meme token is a true pioneer in its space. Currently, no one is sure about the consensus switch. Hypothetically, if it happens in the future, the sentiment will decide what happens to Dogecoin. Most probably, one can see the token making progressive strides.

狗狗幣得到了強大社區的支持。這個 meme 代幣的市值為 880 億美元，是該領域的真正先驅。目前，沒有人確定共識的轉變。假設，如果將來發生這種情況，情緒將決定狗狗幣會發生什麼。最有可能的是，人們可以看到代幣取得進步。
