Looking as an example into Steemit ... all can vote for witnesses

It is working concept ...

Now looking into ETH current state ... In the PoW model, in order to find the proper network all you need is the address of a single correct node. You're able to identify the proper network by simply picking up the one with the most accumulated computing power.

On the PoS model, the solution isn't as obvious to me. It seems that, in order to find the proper network, you must absolutely trust whoever gave you the IP of a node. That seems to put a "trust" barrier on network entrance. Also I would like to see some kind of a metix where more reward is givin to better preforming nodes ...?

What do you guys think?
Any good reads on POS and DPOS?

Also can not find info how Stale Blocks or orphaned blocks are handeld in DPOS or POS ...???

Personally I think they can coexist. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. I just saw a good video from Ivan on Tech where he touches this subject. It is interesting to watch!
