Difference between PoW and PoS - Basic Mining Guide

Proof-of-stake is a mechanism to reach consensus like proof-of-work to decide on who validates the next block, according to how many coins you hold (also defined as 'stake'), instead of miners cracking cryptographic puzzles using computing power to verify transactions like they do with Proof-of-Work.

Recently you might have heard about the idea to move from an Ethereum consensus based on the Proof of Work (PoW) system to one based on the so-called Proof of Stake.

Why Ethereum wants to use PoS?
