Stanley Pain posted:No, not at all. But you can continue to think that if it makes you feel better. Factory farming is still the greater polluter of the two. But like I said, as far as CO2 production goes the two are equally as bad. I didn't think single one off GPU mining as as bad as it is. You came in here asking for absolution and you're not finding it because the folks you're talking to have slightly more developed moral compasses than your whiny comparative utilitarianism, so you're throwing a little tantrum and telling people to kill themselves.

If you willingly mine just admit you are a huge piece of garbage and that you only mine for personal gain and don't care about contributing to/enabling other people's suffering. At least I can respect you for being honest. I can imagine someone mining and not knowing the impact of it since its a lot of the most sheltered people in the world who would be interested in it but if you know and keep it up just lol.

I think you might have misunderstood my intentions. The poster I was replying to I was replying in jest because I took their post to be facetious. If it wasn't meant to be then I read it wrong.

It wasn't facetious. The biggest thing we can do to lower carbon emissions is not have kids. Other than dying, of course. You speak like you know so much about this stuff but you don't know this? It's constantly parroted around. But that's okay. We all know you are a hypocrite.

When hacking activities begin to surge, you sense a looming threat trying to bring down the entire crypto space. As you interact with other forum users, read terminal chats and message board, you slowly piece together a big conspiracy. At the same time, the people behind it arez also on to your true identity, something you have been trying to keep as a secret.

I'm glad I have that memory instead of several million dollars.

CaptainSarcastic posted:No, the motivating factor is money from nothing. Cryptocurrency is a solution in search of a problem. Unless your problem is crime, and then I guess it is something of a solution. It's not even a novel solution to crime. Before crypto, they were laundering money via steam transactions, and gift card laundering is still rampant.

I'm glad I have that memory instead of several million dollars. Hindsight's 20-20. There were tons of other lovely investment opportunities with the potential for massive payoffs but a much larger chance of losing money. Given everything that was known about bitcoin back then, investing was definitely negative expected value, it just happened to be the gamble that paid off. Doesn't mean that investing wasn't a bad idea. Think about it this way: do you judge yourself every time somebody wins a jackpot in Vegas, thinking "I should have been sitting at that table when those cards got dealt"? It's the same thing: statistically, bitcoin was (and still is!) a terrible investment, and just because it keeps winning the coin tosses doesn't mean you should have invested.

In the CPU mining days there wasn't really anything nefarious going on yet, it was just a funny tech thing and it was legit hard to actually use them for anything Take solace in the fact that most of the bitcoins mined on CPUs wound up getting stolen or got lost forever, exit scams were so common back then that it became hard to keep track of them and plenty of people have fessed up to forgetting the password to their old wallet

I've heard that robbing people at gunpoint is super profitable, so why didn't you all start doing it 10 years ago? It nets you money you know, so there's money you can have! Oh there's just been an 10 page long discussion about how it's unethical? And the whole thread has countless examples of people not getting rich cause they went to jail? Well if you just started robbing people 10 years ago then you could've been rich by now so I don't see how that's relevant.

Doesn't mean that investing wasn't a bad idea. But early Bitcoin wasn't an investment, it was a lottery, and the tickets were practically free.

But the guys who did the above are still smarter than us, because however loving dumb Bitcoin is (and it really is) having been there at the start and having made gently caress all from it is STUPID and you can feel that regret bleeding through in a lot of posts in this thread.
