The lower bound given by the current hash rate and the most efficient miners available is only about a factor three lower. So it might be only two days instead

The lower bound given by the current hash rate and the most efficient miners available is only about a factor three lower. So it might be only two days instead of an entire week but that doesn't really change the overall numbers and message.
- harpiaharpyja 9y agoThat doesn't excuse making an observation about how much energy used per transaction would be profitable, then turning around and saying that's the actual amount of energy used. The impact of the message is lost when it's given without any sensible basis. Until your comment I didn't really know what a realistic estimate of the energy usage would be - I couldn't use their claim, since it was obviously garbage. If it's two days then they should say two days.
