Proof of Work systems has many significant advantages. they are a perfect way of deterring spammers. If a reasonable amount of work is required for e.g. sending an email for each process, then most spammers will not have enough computing power to send a large number of unsolicited emails. Moreover, Proof of Work frameworks can be used to provide protection for a network as a whole. This is the primary advantage of blockchains using a consensus system for the proof of work. If enough nodes compete to find a particular solution, then for any single bad actor or even a single group of bad actors, the computational power required to overwhelm and control a network becomes unachievable. Proof of Work vs Proof of Stake The Proof of Stake systems have the same purpose but the process is slightly different than in Proof of Work systems. There is no mathematical puzzle with the Proof of Stake. The creator of a new block, however, is chosen in a deterministic manner, based on their stake...
