Pros
  • Adding support for coins is a straightforward matter of adding the corresponding atomic swap support.
Cons
  • Stochastic nature of staking. Though the randomly selected variability in voting is a security feature, locking up a substantial amount of funds for an indeterminate amount of time that can be up to 4 months has a lot of negative implications (not every can afford to have their $ be so illiquid). Ticket splitting will help with this.
