 @danilo (But I was being perhaps overgenerous to Bitcoin; 100TWh was more of a 2021 number, it's gone up more than 25% since: https://rmi.org/cryptocurrencys-energy-consumption-problem/#:~:text=Cryptocurrency%20has%20an%20energy%20consumption,than%20many%20countries%2C%20including%20Norway.)  @glyph yeah, that's a pretty wild gulf right there and again, the incentive is to drive down consumption and improve efficiency, so the long term trend looks like computing's performance per watt trend, not bitcoin’s tire fire |
