I've sent Bitcoin to Africa, to a Nigerian prince, in fact. He used it to pay for a new well and water pump in his village and a motorbike. It felt really good.

Problem is that coin rewards are getting halved again in May 2024 so they need to go back to 40k or so before that happens to keep the current difficulty going (if electricity prices per TH stay stable)

Yup, The point is that there is a big wall at 18.6k that shows that the butts will have trouble climbing up.

yeah i've been imagining bitcoin mining farms as captain planet villains for years now

especially the stories of them reopening old coal power plants, or illegally deploying entire generating stations and shipping containers full of miners to natural gas fields because they'll make enough mining to offset the cost of eventually having some neighbor complain about the noise of the gas turbines and get found out

i will become an ecoterrorist if i ever have to maintain a bitcoin wallet or interact with crypto in any way

something like twenty years ago i bought a bunch of telescope eyepieces from edmond optics when they had them on clearance after they discontinued the line. since then they've been sending me a sears wishbook sized catalogue of laboratory grade optical gear every couple months.

i see so many weird catalogues and hyperspecific magazines going to random houses in my post office. weirdest one i can think of right now is a magazine about coin collecting and a seperate one about stamp collecting that go out regularly

sure yeah, gaming is fine but sorry i won't care about gamers not being able to update their rigs immediately when a new card drops.
and by gamers i mean people who self-identify as a gamer first and foremost and are the kind of people who are seemingly trying their hardest to fulfill all the scaremongering prophecies we used to have about "computer gaming ruining our youth". these are the gamers who this techradar article was seemingly aimed at imo

just to clarify, crypto mining should be straight up illegal

idk i guess what i want to say is that maybe we don't need the latest and greatest in tech dropping every 6 months, maybe this is also killing the planet in a way
