It doesn't make sense to compare 1 person gaming or clothes drying to a specific mining machine. The consideration was about global bans and total outputs from those activities.

I have a 3070 and it mines Ethereum pretty efficiently (not that I currently mine with it).

Imposing global technological bans so willy-nilly seems like a nice idea only on the surface. Things like machine drying your clothes at home in the US (uncommon in Europe so seems frivolous) uses as much if not more energy. Others might co

Good way to spin having only 4GB vram into an 'anti-mining feature' I guess. Of course, 4GB is typically considered the bare minimum for modern 1080p (let alone higher) gaming and this is just a budget card which was definitely no

I am not sure what you are arguing for but obviously there are off-chain parts, too. The point is that once Ape Yacht Club or whoever has publicized their address I can always confirm in the future whether an Ape NFT originated from them an

On-chain knowledge is the transaction https://etherscan.io/tx/0x798c7060f2e5e0cf2a4d143874be88f404... and their official address 0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d which is sufficient for me to tell whether it

For a start, I can't myself confirm the existence of this 'NFT' and its record of changing hands or originator the way I can with all actual NFTs.

If you have the artist's address you can always check that the NFT originated from them. I don't even understand why anyone (mostly non-crypto people) would think it prevents copy pasting.

The Bored Apes are selling entry to a community not art. At any rate, as far as I can see artists I enjoy in real life like Refik Anadol are benefiting from and creating interesting art around them. Most NFTs are of course crap (as per stur

Seems odd to call it that as there's little 'capitalism' in it. It's abuse of state regulations rather than market forces.

I'm willing to wager that no matter your ethnicity you'd have an overall much worse time in Eastern Europe (where I am also from) than most of the US.

That's not really true. It was a real trend on which Facebook jumped on[0] but yes their involvement overshadowed that. And at any rate clearly the poster here used it in a general sense of a VR Environment rather than meaning Facebook

As far as I could tell the hype was in large part driven by celebrity VCs like Naval and Balaji constantly hyping it as the next stage of social networking and that can only drive people to use it for so long. Numbers have been falling all

This is true but COMP has had exploits and their CEO also begged its users to send funds back last time it happened while threatening to doxx them[0] so perhaps not the best example. Your overall point is valid though, and it's not lik

You are jumping between claims. As you've acknowledged Ethereum will switch to PoS where your climate change claims are incorrect (as they already are when talking about crypto as a whole). Your seperate PoS concerns of centralization
