Well, I don't know about it preventing global warming but that is a cool interest you have.

I guess the title should be: Bitcoin Helps Global warming.

As far as we know, cryptocurrency mining releases a lot of heat. all this heat together will certainly have a negative impact over time... So, logically, mining is an added dose to the whole global warming problem

Yes you are quite correct. Miner uses fan to release the temperature off the hardware which will ultimately go to the environment and also what about the broken hardware that go to trash.

no, again: Bitcoin Mining will in the long-term only be worthwhile where the waste-heat can be used. And you will only mine only to use the waste-heat, not 24/7, and not for profit, but only to get some crypto-coins back for your energy bill.

PS: Fiat currencies are backed by proof-of-force through the military-industrial-oil-big-finance-complex which directly and indirectly accounts for probably more than 50% the world's energy consumption.

lool... I've heard both versions. Some say Bitcoin and digital currency mining in general are very bad for global warming and it is helping to speed up the process, while others say it prevents it??? damn...

Lately, NASA has shown us that global cooling has been around for about 6 years now. And the rate of warming has been dropping since back in the '90s. The only thing that might happen is that governments might want nuclear wars so that the bombs increase global warming... to save face.

Pretty soon the E.P.A. will ask US bitcoin miners to have a coal license or be shutdown.

Well I didn't look directly at mining. If someone has that data itd be interesting if they did. So far it appears that bitcoin is good for the environment.


Positive correlation: Bitcoin mining causes temperatures to rise six months later.

The current correlation is pretty good, I didn't even drop outliers and homogenize the volume data yet.

What are these "pirates" you are talking about?
I have seen that word a couple of times on this forums now and i just don't get what people are talking about  Huh

Competition will drive mining to be run in appliances that emit heat anyway, i.e. in central heaters, hot-water systems etc...

That together with a merge-mined distributed global admin-less key-value store owned by "no one" potentially corruptible and that can be used for a variety of purposes, and no one can say that this mining thing does useless work.  Smiley
