When a new transaction is submitted to a blockchain network, it needs to be validated. Miners collect transactions and group them into blocks. POW is for transaction validation.

Miners engage in a computational race to solve a complex mathematical puzzle, often involving finding a hash value that meets specific criteria.

Nevertheless, the difficulty of the puzzle is adjusted regularly to maintain a target block generation time.

Once a miner solves the puzzle, they can broadcast their solution to the network, providing proof that they have completed the required computational work.

When a miner's solution is verified by other participants in the network, the new block is added to the blockchain, and the miner is rewarded with a predetermined amount of cryptocurrency (usually in the form of newly minted coins) and transaction fees.

You guys are right and the primary purpose of PoW is to deter malicious actors from tampering with the blockchain's transaction history.

It requires significant computational power to solve the puzzles, making it computationally expensive and time-consuming.

This makes it difficult for an attacker to reverse transactions or rewrite the blockchain's history without controlling a majority of the network's computing power.

However, PoW consumes a substantial amount of energy due to the computational efforts required, leading to concerns about its environmental impact but Crypton was beautifully built to fix all these flaws.

As a result, alternative consensus mechanisms such as Proof of Stake (PoS) have been developed to address these concerns while maintaining network security.

The complexity of a block chains giggles a long time absorption of blocks which aids in the process of mining outcomes. Its also add in creating more secured transaction processes.

But Proof of Stake (PoS) comes with security issues which is a much higher concern than energy consumption or slower transactions. For this reason I prefer PoW which is a much more secure network to PoS, except the PoS protocol is implemented properly.

Proof-of-Work (PoW) is a mechanism Bitcoin uses to regulate the creation of blocks and the state of the blockchain. Proof-of-Work provides an objective way for transactions.

Overall, PoS is an alternative consensus algorithm that, compared to PoW, provides a way to secure blockchain networks that uses less energy.

Always keep the protection of you data on Crypto-currency a big priority because if you actually fail to do so you would definitely get hurt.

The two of them are secure, proof of work and proof of stake are two secure algorithms, though proof of stake does not consume too much energy. I like algorithms that are friendly to the enviroment, like mining on the utopia ecosystem, you just set your bot up, connect your internet and mine.

It cannot be overemphasized at all. Even though there is so much talk about it, there are also so many people who are not taking it serious and still use services that compromise their privacy.

About scammers, never get complacent and imagine that you know all their tricks cause they are always coming up with new strategies.

Seem like you are referring to a security questions and would like to understand you clearly so what kind of questions do you think that can actually different users from hackers.

I think that people should not think like that, any reason that makes you to joing crypto does not matter and you have to take it very seriously, if you don’t want to lose money you must choose safe and decentralized ecosystem, and a good example is Utopia.

This will not stop hackers in any way cause many of them are very knowledgeable of how crypto works and will pass any test they are given.

Crypto websites also need to be available to newbies to help them learn about how it works and make their first investment. We cannot lock out new users.

Hackers are people who know about the technology, if they do not know about the technology there is no way they will be able to scam other people. New users have to use the website to be able to understand it and see for themselves how it works, if not they will be scammed.
