In response to this blog post http://tpbit.blogspot.ca/2014/08/thoughts-on-delegated-proof-of-stake.html

Let's build a risk analysis chart for Bitshares X (DPoS)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoMhHK4BehGedHNCem8tMEVHSGJLN3BfTDBadzVfcGc#gid=0

After we fill this in with every risk we know and the controls then we can compare it to Bitcoin (PoW). Anyone is free to fill it in. Usually I keep this stuff internal but it's in the best interest that we all contribute to this and that all the information be in one place.

To compare to Bitcoin just look for the Bitcoin foundation's risk assessment.

After our chart is complete we should turn it into an article which can go on a blog so that we can compare Proof of Work to Delegated Proof of Stake.
