Cardano Contingent Staking
Loading Discussion
Selected claim, opposing its parent
The potential risks outweigh the potential benefits.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1, children below
Agreed. The benefits are only convenient while the risks are systemic
Pro claim 2
As example of risk mentioned: The amount of staked ADA decreases and the right of ADA holders to earn for securing the protocol also.
Pro claim 3
All you have to do is look at what governments have done during the covid pandemic Google "Canadian government seizure of truckers bank accounts"
Con claim 1
First this is claiming the totality of the discussion as forgone based on your opinion. This is simply saying it is because I say.
Con claim 2
People have the wrong understanding. Block production is NOT affected; so what risks do you talk of? Everyone will be permissioned to transact ANYWHERE in the world. Not everyone will be able to delegate to all pools; given some would want to use CS to offer specialised and permissioned services. All block production remains as-is.
Con claim 3, children below
Contingent Staking enables new business models that would not be possible without it.
Con claim 4, children below
Again, this point doesn't actually make sense. The Cardano Block production is remaining permissionless; therefore anyone can use it. No suggestion has been made to filter/restrict/block transactions; which is what the is suggest here. Instead, we are suggestion Delegation is permissioned; i.e. the option for a delegator to stake with a pool. That does NOT interfere directly with permission transactions passing through the chain.
Con claim 5
No risks to permissionless transaction process to anyone wanting to use the chain.
Con claim 6
What are these alleged risks? Permitting optional compliance with bad legislation is a risk? Is that it? In what universe does the OPTION of contingent staking make things worse for anyone? If you want to delegate to an SPO that does not use CS, then do it. What is the problem here?
