Here's a little reading list. All these papers are pretty technical; there's no easy way to debate consensus protocols.

[Vitalik Buterin, Proof of Stake: How I Learned to Love Weak Subjectivity](https://blog.ethereum.org/2014/11/25/proof-stake-learned-love-weak-subjectivity/)

[Vlad Zamfir, History of Casper](https://medium.com/@Vlad_Zamfir/the-history-of-casper-chapter-4-3855638b5f0e#.yfomjn28u)

[A Provably Secure Proof-of-Stake Blockchain Protocol](https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/889.pdf) (Time slots longer than time discrepancies and network delays)

[Delegated Proof-of-Stake Consensus](https://bitshares.org/technology/delegated-proof-of-stake-consensus/)
