While it does warm up the water near it, it is kept within levels that shouldn’t harm the ecosystem. You're being biased because you're not addressing how useful that heat could be if it were magically moved to a cold house.

Bitcoin was a way to cheat taxes and the law esp when it was relatively unknown, but the grift, any ponzi, requires exponential growth of the rube pool to work, and always dies off...but this time it died off and simultaneously got so large it will come under tax scrutiny, and people are getting double hosed for their hubris, LOL.

CoolCab posted:so this is a more interesting question broader than just mining, imo. like the inherent contradiction here - we have a ton of waste heat and also a heating budget and as such we can save money by unifying them somehow makes perfect sense. joule is a joule after all it's just working out a practical implementation. some people are trying, here's some finnish person who is the first hit when i google it pitching it: Agreed that putting waste heat to use is a good idea. If you have a server or industrial process or something that actually has a reason to be running, any heat you can transfer to somewhere that needs it is a bonus as long as the efficiency is >1%. The problem is that Bitcoin mining doesn't need to exist. So you end up with the choice of
Again, I'm all behind making use of waste, but not if the waste was created intentionally. Bitcoin heating would be like throwing brand new stuff into a landfill so we can run a power plant off the "waste" methane.

How do the market cap calculations deal with the fact that any significant sell-off of any coin immediately triggers a collapse in the value of it and all even tangentially related coins, to the point where cashing out is basically a death of a thousand prisoner's dilemmas?

Cowcaster posted:looks like some more good for bitcoin news One of the biggest points a large amount of crypto groups I have ever been in, ever had a problem with was: that question on your tax return that amounted to: have you ever done anything with crypto? Every year they laughed at me, and I always made sure to check the box, review my taxes with tax attorneys, and pay correctly. Because I don't ever want to deal with the bad side of the law - why should I? If you can manage to avoid all taxes through some legal tax structure and that works for you, more power to you. But...don't fuckin lie on your taxes. I expect a huge amount of bitcoin/freeper shock and cognitive dissonance on this one.

What's funny is how Robinhood for a long time did not require providing any tax information or identity verification and all they could do for people who signed up before they started requiring it was send daily emails begging them to add all their personal info, so I bet in the end robinhood ends up liable for a whole lot of unpaid taxes from trades in accounts where they collected zero personal information

Big shock, Helium was scam from the start, it got pillaged before it really got off the ground. Also, last month the network generated a total of $1500 in rewards. https://twitter.com/SarahNEmerson/status/1573324892942270464

Meanwhile, Helium is becoming a mobile carrier. Use your Helium 5G phone to connect through Helium hotspots and apparently T-Mobile towers. And I think your phone mines helium tokens or something. Seems dumb. https://twitter.com/helium/status/1572245557292269574 Isn't this pretty much the Pied Piper product from Silicon Valley?

A friend of mine’s brother in law got into Helium and bought a hotspot, gonna send him that so he can dunk on him. “Hey BIL can I borrow $5, your helium earnings in the past 3 months lol”

I suppose it's real easy to declare your mobile network is successful if what you're really doing is borrowing some other carrier's infrastructure.

Last time I checked they had already changed their name to yasha coin or something like that. But it could be that yasha coin is a completely different anime coin and Inuyasha coin got rugged pulled.

Lmao a contractor I work with got to talking with me about cryptocurrency and I mentioned that it seems like a greater fool scheme and that the price hit High water market it's been plummeting ever since. He counted saying that it was worth $45,000 a few months ago which is when he sold it. But he still sold it at a loss! He followed up by saying "that's my gambling money I don't need to worry about it too much"
