More info for ya. Influencers, even if they have millions of views and followers, even if they speak with authority, do not actually have the inside scoop on what's going on with #dogecoin. Just because one says a validation method is changing, doesn't mean it is.
Because someone is famous and influential doesn't actually give them more insight. Furthermore, people need to understand how changes work in a blockchain like #dogecoin, which is closer to older Bitcoin technology than say, modern ERC20 tokens...
It is not possible for, nor is it planned for, an individual, organization, or body to "move" or "shift" or "change" #dogecoin to PoS. All that can be done is: it can be outlined, perhaps coded, and given to the community (and validators) to decide to take up or not...
...TL;DR - No, there is not a "plan" to "move" #dogecoin to PoS. There is a plan to give, to the community, for their overview, a proposal. Many bristle at even this - and say it should not even be discussed. Any proposal given will differ from traditional PoS in many ways...
...seeing that its primary guiding factor will be the ability of "normal people" to participate broadly, preventing large organizations to take control. EVEN THEN, it will exist only as a *proposal*, like an RFC; and necessarily has to be met with broad approval to move forward..
..Many people who claim they "know" what's going on in this matter have failed to even educate themselves on the concept of blockchain consensus, and also presume the proposal will be nothing more than a rehash of previous implementations. This will not be the case...
...The repeated sensationalist (to get views/follows) refrain of people saying that #dogecoin "is moving to PoS" is ridiculous, and absolutely not how it works or can work. It will not and can not be done by edict, or force...
...If and when a proposal exists, there will be MUCH community deliberation before next moves. Sorry for being so long winded on this but it seems I have to say it several different ways for people to understand. A sudden and forced "move" to PoS is not possible for #dogecoin...
...#dogecoin runs on consensus; always has, always will. I suggest people go back to their roots and look at the *fundamental concepts* behind a consensus-based blockchain and how it works. If you don't believe it, sorry, not much more I can say on the matter.
