PoW also has an inactivity leak. What else is mining hardware depreciation?

This is becoming unproductive, but if you spend $1m on hw & can't mine w/ it, that costs you $$. No actual miner would dispute this...

Whether that hourly "cost of disconnection" is > or < than Casper's just comes down to the penalty
#s. It's not a principled distinction. -
And for the third time, this whole DDOS attack is completely infeasible, at most an annoyance. No one should design around it, PoS or PoW.
-
Agreed on this being unproductive
for the last time, PoW miners have the option of going offline to save cost when price drops. PoS validators don’t. -
and the fact that you think this kind of thing is infeasible... well I don’t know what to say to that...
-
What's infeasible is to keep a staker offline long enough to come anywhere near costing his full stake. Cost to attacker >> cost to staker.
-
Again, applies for PoW too. DDOSing miners is doable (more doable, since speed matters much more under PoW). But not a major system risk.
-
And the argument against the inactivity leak is contingent on the slashed stake being burned or non-returnable. I haven’t seen a definitive decision made that that will be the case. I have seen proposals for escrow and returning after return to duty.
