@mykhaylo @gnu2 wait, do you two actually think we can't stop the vast majority of crypto mining? This is not like drugs in the slightest, it's not millions of individuals doing the thing. That 2% of electricity use is coming from large scale mining, and there's only 137 operations doing that. And guess what? They now have to report their power consumption: https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cryptomining/just-137-crypto-miners-use-23-of-total-us-power-government-now-requiring-commercial-miners-to-report-energy-consumption
So we know exactly who these people are, and how to stop it.
