alanjs Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Bitcoin mining is wasting a huge amount of energy, and it may just get worse soon if Bitcoin prices rise. Right now, the electricity consumed to mine them is probably somewhere north of $250 million... Yes, chimes in with a common complaint on the Bit coin mining forums ...eager new industry recruit orders the latest and greatest, but after the inevitable delay in delivery, by the time they actually get it going it's a virtual antique! Perfect perpetual carrot and stick. Makes me wonder at the original motivation of the designers, - free the populace from the tyranny of the banker classes, ..but just be careful, don't get drawn into emulating your former masters, else you may well end up wishing you'd stuck with the devil you knew..

drbubb Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yes, There is a lot of me-too-ism going on right now, and AUR's early success (with a pre-mined coin) is bound to trigger many copy cats. There are many snags ahead, and I wonder how many will foresee them, and deal with them? MtGox failed to do that. I wonder if the slow confirms problem will trip -up AUR or the Scotcoin? Another question still not fully answered is: What will happen to the unclaimed coins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
