I'm aware of the ETC attacks. I don't think ETC can really be compared to BTC though. The ETC network is composed of the idealistic (or maybe stubborn) folks who didn't want to switch over to the new ETH chain after the DAO hack. I'm not saying ETC has no merit, but it didn't have the same network resilience due to the split.

Seems like you know a lot about PoS, would you be willing to check out my other comments on this post (https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=swensel)? I've covered some concerns / questions that I have about PoS that maybe you can answer in more detail.
