This is a really interesting overview of the Handicap Principle, why proof of work fulfills the criteria, and how it differs from other costly signals.
I'm not as sure as Daniel that isolating handicaps from other costly signals is unequivocally superior to a more complex bundle, nor am I sold that paying money to burn energy is a costly enough signal for most use cases or to result in more truth.
But I now see the ways in which these might be true much clearer, and understand Boost POW vs other signals better than before.
Oh, and video finally works!
