I saw the two threads next to each other in the unread list and that codeblue had posted here shortly after the original thread. I didn't need to click to see what he posted lol

25% of all power in Iran is use for crypto mining. Chinese miners have made corrupt deals with corrupt leaders in Iran to illegally steal power (generated via massive polluting fuels). This has resulted in power outages for regular people.

Crypto and NFTs are a global environmental disaster. Crypto has to end, if not it very well may be the end of our planet.
Close to 80% of miners use renewable energy. You actually get rewarded more for using it. With miners leaving China, who are less energy efficient/use more coal and the hash rate percentage being spread out to other countries that are more environmentally conscious , it actually helps with that issue. And with NFTs, there are so many sites running of a POS chain + ETH switching over soon, it will definitely help as well. Don't think its going to be the end of our planet.

And in Iran, here is the other side and what could be causing the outages: https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021 ... y-backlash

If anyone is interested in reading about the mining, here is a thread from one of the largest miners there: https://twitter.com/jiangzhuoer/status/ ... 64737?s=21
Wrong, recent research suggests the number is more like ~40% using renewables. Not to mention if renewables are used for X (crypto and social media), then renewables cannot be used for Y (heating or cooling) and thus coal, nuclear, etc will be used instead. Unless there is an excess and it can be stored.

This article was also in 2020. This one is from 2019 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/study-ov ... 0738.html . No matter where we go or research, we will never get exact numbers I guess. As it evolves more with regulation, I imagine it will paint a better picture of it all. Especially with the added pressure and more investments going into it, the numbers for renewable will definitely increase. It definitely already is with most of the coal mining in China leaving for renewables in other countries.

The account from the guy above actually tweeted that they shutdown facilities in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Qinhai. Only Hydropower farms in Sichuan are left causing to go above 50% clean energy. I want to say that a majority of the mining in China was coal prior.

I think they are just making a site called Marvel? Obv not Disney but this is real with Fox https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/fox-be ... 234997173/ Just thought the two made sense.

Edit: yea thats exactly what they did https://nftmarvel.io/ :lol:

Apart from the floaty balloons, the NFTs by D*Face have been incredible. He has another drop tonight on Nifty.

Hope to quickly sell it for a profit before ya have to sell it for a loss seems to be the most common thing.

Apes floor was around $2k last week. Now it’s pushing $10k. They gave a free dog to each owner that’s going for $3k right now . Keeps going up. So if you sold now you’d be up $11k in a week.

Just have to pick the right projects
