@tecnijota not that easy though, you need an already existing pair of reservoirs, and enough water on the lower one otherwise you have to desalinate water which is energy intensive as well so now you have the same problem as with a bitcoin rig, are you going to use all that new infra only on curtailment periods?

"But Bitcoin is a great way to monetize excess renewables"
No, this was never true. If you make a capital investment in a mining rig, then you want that rig making you money 24hrs, not just when the rest of the grid is not consuming renewables.
You become a baseload leech.
Bitcoin must die.

@Migueldeicaza I wouldn't support what you claim we're doing though, engineering teams are mandated to push every change upstream and each new RHEL change is here sooner or later:

@Migueldeicaza I am afraid that you are moving the goalpost here, I am okay to going back to exact binaries, but you accused Red Hat of violating the GPL, how is making modifications (copyleft or otherwise) publicly available a violation of the GPL or the commons at large?

As I have been both a Red Hat and a Sun employee during both transitions. I can't state how far from the truth your statement is.
Red Hat is still the same legal entity, with a very similar management chain with the exception of Jim W. not being in the picture and Paul taking a step aside as CEO.
