Selected claim, supporting its parent
Contingent Staking gives stake pool operators an additional tool that they can use to express their freedom of association.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1
As it stands currently, freedom of association for SPOs is all-or-nothing. Users enjoy choice in their associations, SPOs do not.
Pro claim 2
This is freedom of association for “pool operators”. What about freedom of association for individuals? Is crypto for pool operators or for individuals?
Con claim 1, children below
Freedom of association could also be interpreted as freedom to discriminate.
Con claim 2
Viewing the staking of "bad actors" in your pool as a negative occurrence is subjective, as many SPOs would prefer to have more stake rather than less, regardless of its origin.
