hollywood Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Is there truly a worldwide network of servers "mining" cryptocurrency (with adverse environmental effects)? If so, why? If not, is this all part of a huge bubble? And what is Damon's cut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chambolle Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Is there truly a worldwide network of mining companies "mining" commodities (with adverse environmental effects)? If so, why? If not, is this all part of a huge bubble? And what is Chambo's cut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 that's bait Chambo and I won't rise to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 What's really confusing is that the mining takes place in server farms, which I understand are farmed by terrible waiters who can prove they have zero knowledge of today's menu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 that's why its soooo important to find small organic server farms who grow heirloom NFTs. You want a heritage bored ape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SLBunge Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It seems like they must have hired a publicist because there are mainstream news outlets carrying a story about how the servers mining cryptocurrency in Texas were being "shut down" to reduce demand on the grid during the current bout of winter weather.

hollywood Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 I was in Texas recently. That whole grid business seems to be the source of considerable disagreement. I had read that Texas had not winterized the grid despite recommendations that it do so. Yet folks on the ground were trying to tell me the grid had been winterized. The weather was mild so I don't see a test coming up yet, but you never know. Oops, looks like a cold snap just hit North Central Texas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
