Is chia the one that doesn't burn through hard drives? Or is that Sia.. I can't even remember any more.

I don't think it's true that Proof is Stake is less resilient personally, of the 30-100 proof of stake chains that have been running for over a year now, I don't believe there have been any consensus attacks, and many of those would be far easier to attack (as the cost of doing so is relative to the market cap of the native coin)

On the other hand, we did see consolidation of >50% of the hashrate on Bitcoin, due to mining pools. That was only short-lived because the mining pool which accumulated that much hashrate agreed to cap it at 48% or something
