Its also wrong, and measuring the wrong thing. A single ethereum tx costs a few watts of CPU time to generate and sign the transaction (less even), and a few watts to broadcast to the mempool via your internet connection. Maybe add a few watts extra to factor propagation of the transaction to the network. This is all done in <500ms, probably less. It's next to nothing.
It uses much less power than the LCD that renders the jpeg.
It is easy to make a fake emotional argument if you don't technically understand how systems work.
- rileyphone 5y agoThat’s like saying all it takes to win the lottery is a few dollars to buy a ticket, then you get a hundred million dollars. You’re ignoring the true costs with appeals to a clear technical process, but that fails to capture the collective behavior that the proof of work systems like Ethereum exhibit. In any case, dismissing my argument as “fake” and “emotional” shows that you are either engaging in bad faith or have a remedial grasp on argumentation. Please do better in the future.
