Not to be that guy but did anyone read the 2 sentence wiki?

"Gridcoin attempts to address and ease the environmental energy impact of cryptocurrency mining through its proof-of-research and proof-of-stake protocols"

Feels like a quarter of the comments are complaining about PoW ...

Because it doesn’t ‘address’ any of that. It’ vanilla PoS. Still a good idea for other reasons.
So what's the point of complaining about PoW as if Gridcoin used that when literally 1 of the 2 sentences in the wiki says it uses PoS?
