There's ecological disaster regardless of mining, I haven't done any math on the issue but I believe mining waste is a very small part of the overall polution in the world. We must develop technology to clean our planet regardless of mining waste. Given this and the fact that energy is becoming cleaner by the year I think worrying about mining waste is not rational

> I haven't done any math on the issue but I believe This is not the kind of discussion where assertion by belief has any place, on either side of the discussion. What we need solid estimates of how this technology currently scales, how it might improve, and how it compares to existing electronic currency, and physical cash (taking into account things like embodied energy of coins).
