“is migrating”

It happened years ago buddy and PoS still uses more energy than centralized solutions for the same number of transactions.

I’m done, you’re brainwashed, goodbye!

From the get go, you’re wrong

The more people mine, the more decentralized it is, the more energy is necessary because difficulty is increased. The more transactions happen, the more blocks are required, the more energy needs to be spent to confirm all the transactions. The more it’s used, the higher the value, the more people mine.

There’s a limit to the number of transactions per block as well, so no, your can’t just say “1 or 1000 it’s the same”.

Visa is already able to handle 24000 transactions per second as is, no need for more infrastructure.

Crypto uses 1% of the world’s energy production for a couple trillions in assets, the financial system uses 2.5% for quadrillions in assets, multiple thousands more than crypto, no, crypto can’t scale to that without a huge environmental impact.

Yes you are trying to greenwash crypto, just stop.

Visa can process a maximum of 24k TPS

Crypto energy usage goes up the more it’s being used and the more decentralized it becomes. Centralized services like Visa can increase the network load while barely increasing the energy requirements.

Crypto bros always forget that to replace the banking system, crypto would need to replace the infrastructure as well, but because of decentralization it would be less energy efficient for the same result.

You can just stop, there’s no way to greenwash crypto and decentralization. The amount of transactions happening on all crypto networks at the moment could be handled by one server if it was centralized. There’s benefits to it, stop trying to sell it as being green, it’s not and never will be.

I didn’t even get to that, house energy usage can’t be compared to crypto energy usage, they’re not used for the same thing!

Ok, I was in agreement with you (the concept of NFTs is great, what people do with it is dumb) until the environment part

Crypto, even proof of stake, isn’t energy efficient and never will be, the banking sector uses more energy but it also manages quadrillion in funds and transactions, crypto’s value as a whole is orders of magnitude less than that and there’s more energy spent per transaction than in the traditional financial sector. Crypto replacing banks and cash would be an environmental disaster.

Next, even if mining is done using green energy, it means that this energy isn’t used to reduce emissions in other, actually essential, sectors. There’s an environmental cost to green energy (what do you think was under the dam’s reservoir?) so having to produce more infrastructure just for crypto is wasteful.

How is that not more compact than a bicycle?

Also for some people not having to pedal is actually a necessity so yes it’s a benefit to some.

Companies keep trying to recreate something similar for motorcycle helmets

No need to exercise, much more compact…

Still have mine somewhere, I wonder if it would be possible to take a Shield and put it in there or a RPi…

Just like all Star Trek?

The Case of the Golden Idol, can’t believe no one mentioned that…

Oh yeah, menus in Borderlands are shit

I’m just refuting your point that the data is worthless because anyone can train AI on it. It’s not worthless because although anyone can train their model on it, most companies would rather purchase the services from specialists, so all training data has value.

They can still sell their services, not every company want to launch their own LLM model

I’ve got a solution!

Just refuse to play those games and go dig rocks and stones instead!

Doesn’t matter they’ve already ran out most quality content they could find and Reddit has limited who can train AI on their website.

What’s keeping AI from training on Lemmy?

Hint:

You can’t just launch Steam games without Steam running, Steam itself is DRM.

That’s because the format itself promotes the accumulation of knowledge instead of the constant repetition from Reddit style forums which are better at generating new content.

You realize there’s more DRM free games on Epic than on Steam even though there’s less games overall? If your standard for a good launcher is being able to start the game from a .exe then I’ve got bad news about Steam…
