#Meld cardano free#BMC miners reported that their mix of carbon free energy generation was 67.6 per cent – higher than any other industry, or even major country on the planet. Some estimates place it as high as 15 per cent – which seems ridiculous – but in any case, Bitcoin use is negligible by comparison.Īnd here’s the kicker. To put that into context, it’s generally accepted that, at the very least, one per cent of the world’s energy consumption is lost in electronic devices left on standby around the world. So, are we set for boiled oceans and a parched earth? Well, as miners themselves already knew, no.īitcoin’s total energy use globally is tiny at 0.1 per cent of the world’s total output. While still less than half of the network, it’s enough to give the most accurate representation yet of the energy mix of this disparate and controversial industry. Even relatively small players, like the operation I use in Siberia powered entirely by stranded hydro energy, submitted data. Over the last quarter, the BMC had been collecting energy data from major players, 23 in total, accounting for 32 per cent of the global network. The BMC was formed as a voluntary association of miners, the brainchild of Microstrategy CEO and Bitcoin GigaChad Michael Saylor, no doubt inspired – at least in part – by Elon Musk’s mass spreading of misinformation about its energy use and his decision to stop accepting Bitcoin for Tesla purchases as a result. Say what you want about the newly-formed Bitcoin Mining Council (and many do) yesterday’s webinar revealed some impressive, if slightly unexpected, numbers. Vitally, we have also secured solid legal opinion on the methodology which will go into the ‘playbook’ which will be shared with the Cardano Foundation and sets the precedent for many other Cardano based projects to follow suit. By setting this parameter, MELD knows that this will change the way in which future projects on the Blockchain will be able to raise whilst keeping true to the Cardano ethos of inclusion for everyone.
