Sure but we need numbers, how much more expensive is it, is it 1%, 10% or 100%. Because just saying "more" is compatible with the energy being 0.000001% more expensive. So your comment in not really saying anything.
- ajkjk 4y agoDefensive much? It's more, and probably by more than 10^-9, and the point is allowed to be posted even if it doesn't include exact numbers.
- fabianfabian 4y agoNumbers please, because it seems you haven't considered the possibility of it being cheaper. The practice known as curtailment, is a way for miners to help electricity grids. The miners' steady demand ensures power producers are bringing in revenue to offset costs, but can power off when demand from other sources is high, such as during winter storms.
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoProof works both ways. Show me empirical evidence what you described is actually happening on a large scale.
- sdenton4 4y agoI could believe that the energy saved in curtailment could power all of the remittances which Bitcoin so helpfully enables.
