    Wow, you went from zero to furious at the drop of a hat. And I’m not a “bagholder”, as I’ve said in other comments, I’m just interested in the tech.

    I haven’t argued any of these facts. “How TF else should they do it?!” could be my line here, except that I’m trying to remain civil so I wouldn’t have worded it that way. This ultimately comes from your statement:

    Another damning aspect of their staking tech is that, in order to stake to a pool, you need to lock your tokens away, making them impossible to spend for a specified time period.

    Which I still don’t see as “damning” because - as you just said - how else would they do it? Cardano and Polkadot do it the same way, they’ve just changed the value of what that “specified time period” is.

    I specifically mentioned Rocket Pool’s rETH as an example of delegated staking that would let you sell your staked tokens more quickly, that’s on Ethereum so if the exit queue is too long for you there you can try that instead.

      I am not furious. I just don’t like it when people lie and act like they’re not lying.

      If you’ve retained control over your tokens then they’re not staked. I’m not sure how you think it could work otherwise.

        And I’m not particularly pleased to be accused of lying when I’m willing to cite sources and the guy I’m debating with refuses to even address my responses. But you don’t see me YELLING IN ALL CAPS about it.
