Earth hour is not only retarded but also dangerous. It makes people psychologically think they have actually made their part in saving environment just by closing lights for an hour. That may keep them from doing something that actually helps environment and most importantly from politically addressing the problem...

i'm gonna make a poll. if a lot of people switch their miners off, i'm gonna put extra ones on to profit from lower overall hashrate

We not only have the lights off in the mining room we have over 30 hamsters running in their wheels that are connected to hand crank electric generators producing electricity for the miners.

Careful, don't want PETA coming after you! Wink

Additionally my wife and I know that our city uses an electric pump to deliver the water to our home so to conserve electricity and water we take showers together in the dark.  Grin

Heh I sleep during that time but I'll definetly take an hour today to turn off my miners so that I can clean the dust off of them Smiley  True that it won't do anything in the grand scheme of things but it is a nice gesture.  They probably did a ton of work to get those cities aboard but they could have been putting that into getting websites to use darker designs for a pledged amount of time and gotten more energy savings out of it.

Just another idiotic example of symbology over substance.

I'm pretty sure the Earth is going to survive whether I turn my lights off or not for an hour.

My miners and household electricity will be off for 1 hour tonight @ 8:30pm GMT Smiley

4.6kw for 1 hour  (about 0.028 BTC less for the day)
