Says the guy running downvote bots.
He's forum sliding even as he accuses people like yoisi and ger111 of doing so.
It serves two purposes: flooding this forum with crap, and making anyone who posts here look crazy by association.
So what does this have to with (in order of narrowest to broadest):
Games journalism
The Culture War in video games
Journalism
The Culture War in general
In other words: Nice forum sliding, bro.
Your criticism is around the "waste" is entirely based off of that false assumption, and you are complaining the energy being used to mine. Typically what happens is the opposite, as most of that energy on demand would be wasted as literal smoke from powerplants, since the wattage that isn't being demanded has to be removed because it can't be stored. Instead, miners tend to work with powerplants to actually syphon that.
This is utterly false. There is very little waste in bulk energy production from coal, ng, hydro, and nuclear, because aggregate demand is very predictable. The waste comes from the unreliability of solar and wind, when a cloud comes by or a group of turbines are becalmed drops your production.
There is an easy way to tell how much energy is wasted by bitcoin each year: The price of bitcoin. Last I checked BTC was 64k per coin and the amount received per block was 6.5, thus the amount of electricity per block is around $416,000. Blocks are by design supposed to be generated at around 1 per 10 minutes so that is around 52,560 blocks per year. This means around $2.1 * 10 ^ 10 energy is turned into waste heat each year for bitcoin. Where I live the price for electricity is cheap, around $0.12/kWh. Thus amount of electricity per year used by BTC alone not counting the other cryptos is about 1.8 * 10 ^11 kWh, 180 TWh, 6.142×10^14 BTU, or 640 petajoules.
BTC uses around the same amount of energy as the US Steel Industry, equivalent to 1/20th the entire energy consumption of the US. That energy is super useful electricity being turned into nothing. Especially since as soon as a practical quantum computer is made, every bitcoin becomes worthless overnight. Several different groups have 1k qbit laboratory computers in the last year. Any one of those could break SHA 256 in a way to allow unlimited mining of BTC.

The lesson: The Andrew Jackson didn't own enough newspapers.
You misunderstand. Galt's speech was boring, repetitious, preachy fartsniffing, and it was still better than anything presented in English classes.
It's garbage. In fact, pretty much everything taught in english classes is garbage, as if it is selected to make people hate reading. Whether it is Tale of Two Cities, or Death of a Salesman, it is all flaming hot dumpster fires.
I'd rather read John Galt's speech than anything by Dickens or Miller.
The only exception to the rule was when I had to read Ivanhoe. It was at least interesting.
Except that was all false atrocity propaganda. There was never a undoing of that propaganda, and in fact it has only been amplified because it benefits China.
normies are retarded
Just end it there.
He is an actual demon.
You're full of shit.
Any time there is not a balance of forces you get a net acceleration. You stopping the force from one direction, cause the force from the other direction to win.
You are the teacher that sees a fight going on and grabs the victim and holds his arms behind him as the bully pulls a knife and gets to stabbing. And all the while you are yelling at the victim to stop fighting.
Fuck you.
60% of the numbers between 0 and 100 are "racist dogwhistles." Be careful, you might accidentally use one.
Conpro bans them, DoM does not.
The entire anti-meat thing can be summed up as " my giant soldiers get their (literal) pound of flesh, and you peasants get no real protein so that your children grow up weak and small."
The inevitable result of atrocity propaganda. You always get a follow on war that is even worse.
I'm pretty sure koalas don't have any room to talk... They only eat Eucalyptus.
Pandas are responsible for making pandas go extinct. They chose a retarded energy source so many times it removed their ursine ability to eat anything. Don't feel bad for genetic dead ends like pandas.
So you recognize that this was a terrorist attack, and you still try to claim that you are a moral actor. Demonic.
Man, it's almost as if you are a demon.
A reminder to the morons celebrating this: Anything Israel does to "terrorists", the democrats will do to you, since you are a terrorist simply by posting to this board.
The rigged devices were all used in a professional capacity and kept on their person. The explosives were most likely tailored to injure only the wearer.
You have no way of knowing if that is actually true. You only have the word of known liars.
Maybe people just think you are a spammer?
