I really would love to see crash #Bitcoin so damn hard :blobcatgiggle: :catblush: I saw it come to live years ago with a good intention but it has grown to an energy eating monster that only consumes incredible amounts of resources but also intellect that could be used for so many better goal like cold fusion for example.#Shitcoin

@stux I did have some but got rid of it before the crash! Glad I did.

@stux I remember somewhere around 2010 (give or take a year) I was aware of bitcoin, and someone told me, the enegry it takes to mine a bitcoin costs about as much as that bitcoin would be worth right now. I had a computer sitting idle and I didn't pay my own energy bill, so I briefly considered it. But I quickly realised: if it takes that much energy, it's got to be bad for the planet, I won't get involved. If I realised this in 2010, when I was 20, why doesn't the world get this yet?

@stux yeah it kind of became "mainstream" and thus commercialized, like big tech.

@Corina :blobcatgiggle: I remember good! At the time the mining 'level' was a lot lower and much easier so also less engery and a decent PC could at least do its thing before ppl came alone with freaking mining rigs :amaze: It went up sooo fast

@catswhocode I have a feeling ppl who know shit about it have the biggest word on it :blobderp: I was just watching the news and yet again.. I wish someone would just say "No. No, I'm not gonna talk about crypto."

@stux yes, today you'd need a whole data center to mine one coin. The energy waste grew exponentially.

@stux Almost as bad as the #NASA space scam. Those swindlers have stolen hundreds of billions over the decades and produced absolutely zero.Space travel has gone backwards since the fake #moon landing.

@stux Did you seriously pay for a TLS cert for an .onion?The address is the public key, so no TLS certificate is required.Doing TLS over TLS is a complete waste too.Why would generating a keypair cost anything more than the electricity cost of doing so?

@Suiseiseki Yup but for a reason 😉 Masto didn't work correct with http and did many redirects to https but that didn't work on http tor and a self-signed would turn to many ppl away cause of the warning :blobcatgiggle: So yeah, since the start of the war and since we're now blocked in China a simple onion cert was quite welcome :blobcathearts:

@stux That is universal for all proof of work currencies. It's a mad scramble to do as much work as possible for ever-decreasing amounts of coins

@stux the bitcoin energy thing is retarded to be honest. Electricity is not a finite resource and most bitcoin electricity consumption comes from renewable energy and waste energy. It is a total surveillance coin which will allow the government to track everything you have ever done financially and use that information to put you in the police state gulag, however, which is why it sucks and should die.
