I am confused now lol - I thought these figures, 60 seconds (PoW) and 600 seconds (PoS) were the block times. It says below that the difficulty retarget is every block.
PoW and PoS work independently of each other, so block time will be different for each of the protocols.
check blockexplerer and diff and seek throught a lot of blocks
u will see most block have high diff that are POW blocks some blocks have low diff that are POS blocks
and u will see lot more POW blocks happens around 10x more......
why we chose "slow" pos blocks?
fast pos blocks load up blockchain unnessesary at hybrid POS/POW coins
we dont need a POS every min we have POW to take care of transactions
we only need POS for the stake coins protect network and to payout the earned POS rewards
if ya waited a month to mint new rewards u dont need instant rewarded with lot pos-blocks once u set wallet into minting mode
other coins do this and its a big danger of forking
if pos blocks roll out that fast that they start confirming each other but all come from same wallet...
its just one of a lot POS traps we fixed at diamond
maintain POS coins need deep understanding of mechanics and code (as danbi have)
or a big BTC wallet to pay regulary one of the few freelancer who really know how it works
this is a path lot coins go and i see it as a big danger to be not able maintain own wallet code
