This seems to be parroted everywhere but for the most part it's not true. Many GPU mining rigs sat in a shed, basement or dusty attic somewhere, and not an air conditioned datacenter like people believe. Another consideration is that a significant number of miners steal electricity and couldn't care less about undervolting.

Also a large number number of ex-mining Radeon GPUs found their way on to the German market recently and many were found to have water damage and cracked cores.

Would love for Intel to break the Nvidia/AMD duopoly who right now are robbing us blind. Arc is a good start but with Intel's engineering and fabs at its disposal there's no reason why it can't compete in the long run.

Being the Grauniad, they will blame it on Brexit or institutional racism.

People can take their own drinks through security and no longer be ripped off by vendors in the departure lounge.

Dassault is a major manufacturer of private jets so of course they're not going to ban them.

The admins don't care. Most subreddits are moderated by petulant, agenda-driven children who constantly break Reddit's own moderation guidelines with impunity. Their only qualification for becoming a mod was that they created the subreddit or are friends with the person who did.

I like Reddit for the niche topics and it's a pretty good platform for technical discussion. For anything mainstream it's a terrible forum for discourse and the shitty moderation is the main reason.

Please dump all of this bitcoin on the market at once. For the lulz.

And yet some of the most unreliable cars on the road today are EVs. That may change but the future is destined to me less servicing but more repairs.

The strike price was agreed in 2017. Also I'd love to hear about these affordable storage options, the cheapest battery storage can't be had for less than $300/kWh.

So where did you get 30c/kWh from?

£92.50/MWh is the AGREED strike price not PROJECTED (see, I can use all caps too)

There also hasn't been a ''decade of delays'. EDF has stated that the pandemic has caused the biggest delay which has pushed things back by two years at most.

I'm not sure what orifice you've pulled those figures from. That 5c figure for wind certainly doesn't include the cost of gas backup or grid storage for when wind speeds are low.

Hinkley Point cost is £92.50/MWh or 9.3p/kWh. It's nowhere near 30 US cents, Euro cents or any other cents. Also any additional costs are being met by EDF with no risk to the UK taxpayer or consumer. It's turning out to be quite a bargain. And unlike wind Hinkley will provide reliable power 24/7, whatever the weather.

Lots of evidence that miners are turning to other ponzi coins. Ethereum Classic, arguably the 'true' Ethereum, has seen a surge in its hash rate in recent days.

You also have to consider that many miners steal electricity, or mine at a loss in the hope that number goes up in the future.

Sadly we can't celebrate the death of GPU mining just yet.

This is not about electricity generation which you're conflating with overall energy use. The majority of homes and commercial premises in Germany are heated with gas, and their industry uses vast quantities which cannot be readily replaced with electricity.

Yep, WSB again. They are really are playing with fire, because their actions could well be interpreted as a pump and dump.

Not true, there's plenty of money to be made in crypto. You just have to good at scamming people.
