Christopher D. Long added,
love to get your thoughts on this if you think they are off?
They're high enough that I'd want to check the math. Are there details of the calculation somewhere?
The statistical properties of mining gives you a clear estimate. The current hashrate: https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate … Antminer gets about 14 TH/s @ 1350 watts. It's...a lot!
Ooops. Sorry. Yes, it was.
If you're actually running the numbers, I'd be curious to see how it compares to @foldingathome or something for perspective. Truly disorienting numbers.
How much is known about the hardware the large Chinese mining operations are using?
Rumors? IDK. What comes after ASIC, really? You read stories about miners in desert facilities for each electric and all. But I think that just means cheap and dirty generation. The engineering problem is hard.
If the proof of work involved "useful calculations", such as @foldingathome, much of the criticism could go away.
Hell yea. Selfish subsidization of science would be great.
