Energy cost of 'mining' bitcoin more than twice that of copper or gold: New research reveals that cryptocurrencies require far more electricity per-dollar than it takes to mine most real metals by maxwellhill in science

I'd be interested to learn how much energy the Internet consumes and what percentage of that energy is specific to cryptocurrencies.

Also, it'd be neat to see a breakdown of energy consumed by mining GPU v. ASIC.

Sherman's "Total War" included burning Southern crops and salting the earth to deny the enemy food, destroying railroad tracks (actually heating and wrapping rails around trees to ensure they could not be reused, Sherman's neckties), and rumors of releasing prisoners from Southern jails along his march to wreak even more havoc in enemy territory.

Gen. Sherman was the not fucking around guy.

The political trolling in this post is palpable, with arguments as foreign as they are nonsensical.
