Literally every joule that goes into snapchat datacenters is wasted. It's not necessary, it doesn't make anything happy and it's primarily a way for a large company to harvest a lot of data on young people. Nobody wins with the way this power is used.

- makotoNagano 6y agoYou can make that argument for any piece of entertainment. why live? let's all kill ourselves, that way we won't use any energy anymore.
- NullPrefix 6y agoI like the way you think
- krageon 6y agoYou can make the argument for anything, because it's a dumb argument - perhaps the point was entirely too buried :)
- UncleMeat 6y agoBut Snapchat has fixed computation needs. If they figure out how to run everything on 50% of the power, their emissions go down by 50%. BTC has no such property. Make it 1,000 times more efficient to compute hashes and you just hash 1,000 times faster. No change in power use.
