Name for Decred's hybrid PoW-PoS consensus #54
Comments
Stake Compliant Proof of Work (SCPoW) *PoW in the above can be replaced by "Consensus" as well. |
Discussion continued here, Multifactor Consensus (MFC) gained some support. |
Yes, this was the most popular alternative to hybrid consensus. Personally I wouldn't abbreviate, since it isn't a known concept yet. |
The suggested names can be categorized into 4 groups.
Personally I prefer group 2. |
This issue can be closed, in my opinion. We decided to stick with hybrid PoW+PoS in the messaging document. Most of us agreed that multifactor consensus is another good way of describing it, but since hybrid PoW+PoS is already well known we will keep using that (rather than focusing our efforts on something new). |
Agreed, closing. If this discussion resurfaces, link them here and reopen as needed. |
Name for Decred's consensus model and protocol upgrade process was mentioned again in this reddit thread. Proof of Vote was suggested again.

I disagree you have to risk (losing/destroying) DCR to call it staking as it isn't the case in other PoS coins. Ultimately Decred blocks are produced by PoW miners so IMO it shouldn't be excluded from the name. |
Discussed here.
