How do they even calculate it? I heard that bitcoin mining isn't profitable using fossil fuels. The average reward earned per kwh is something like 5 cents.
- epolanski 3y agoHash rate divided by average ASIC hash rate gives you number of machines. You multiply this number by the power consumption of the ASIC and divide it by average emissions for that amount of energy.
- YetAnotherNick 3y agoYes but it's not average emissions if say they run over extra(as in the energy for which we don't have storage) solar panel energy.
