It’s still not earning you money to spend electricity because you still have to pay the transfer fee which is around 6 cents / kWh but it’s pretty damn cheap nevertheless, mostly because of the excess in wind energy.

Last winter because of a mistake it dropped down to negative 50 cents / kWh for few hours, averaging negative 20 cents for the entire day. People were literally earning money by spending electricity. Some were running electric heaters outside in the middle of the winter.

Sure, so you will have people turning on useless heaters outside

Big picture, you’re encouraging people to use this fake money by taking part in it. And it usually uses a lot of energy to do it.

Yeah, I’m sure you use exclusively gold and silver coins to pay your groceries. Of course you wouldn’t use fake money. As a reminder, this post is about excess energy

So which crypto do you use at the grocery store?

If nobody wanted to use crypto, energy usage (excess or otherwise) wouldn’t be an issue.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
