Unless you’re @Gameface, you aren’t allowed any porn posts, drunk-posted or otherwise.

But seriously, how come there is not a thread about crypto? I know tons of you are on the crypto train, so how about you post how awesome you are doing, tips, tricks, and advice…?

Doge?
ETH?
Staking?
How annoying Crypto.com is?

Etcetera, so on, so forth, and everything. Go.
 
There is a crypto thread - it's on the front page of this forum as a matter of fact:

Does that mean we can post porn here now?
 
I haven't been holding anything I mine, just mine and sell ASAP. I should go back and see what the difference would have been if I would have held.

But I don't really believe in Ethereum or Bitcoin (and definitely not Doge) as a thing, so even though ETH has gone up a **** ton since I started mining I'll never hold it, just sell it.
 
Am I too late for the porn?
 
Pardon my ignorance, but how does Bitcoin mining affect the environment and fossil fuel use?

The majority of bitcoin is mined on ASICs in China using very cheap electricity running on coal fired power plants.
 
But the international banking industry uses MUCH more electricity than bitcoin.
 
And how much electricity is that using?
According to the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance (CCAF), Bitcoin currently consumes around 110 Terawatt Hours per year — 0.55% of global electricity production, or roughly equivalent to the annual energy draw of small countries like Malaysia or Sweden. This certainly sounds like a lot of energy.

A lot
 
And why does it take that much energy to mine Bitcoin?
You use either GPUs or ASICs to solve extraordinarily complex cryptographical puzzles. They basically do this be trying combination after combination until they find the one that opens the lock and rewards them with a block of bitcoin. It is competitive, so many millions of GPUs or ASICs might all be trying to solve the same puzzle at the same time. The first one to get the right answer wins all the rewards and everyone moves onto the next block.
