Miners are not all in Texas, that is just a headline.
- tinalumfoil 4y agoThis thread convinced me to look this up and apparently this site called "Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index" [0] that's continually tracking mining per IP address [1] to figure out where mining is happening. Not sure how accurate it is, but apparently Texas is 11.22% of America's 37.84% hash rate share, so that works out to about 4% total. [0]: https://ccaf.io/cbeci/mining_map https://ccaf.io/cbeci/mining_map [1]: From the site: "We have partnered with several Bitcoin mining pools to collect geolocational mining facility data in a non-obtrusive and privacy-preserving manner. This geolocational data is based on IP addresses of mining facility operators (‘hashers’) that connect to the servers of mining pools."
