We've arguably never had a chart that tells such an important story about Bitcoin mining and emissions. This new chart, the result of 12 months research from the Digital Assets Research Institute (DARI) says: “Over 4 years, Bitcoin price and hashrate quadrupled, but emissions didn't grow", effectively ending the speculation that Bitcoin emissions will rise unsustainably in the future as the network expands. www.batcoinz.com/p/issue-013-5-pretty-pictures-that https://image.nostr.build/2126cdc69b404f8b98a4091dd820d182cc1564e7bd3af8bcbda7f10a54fb8400.png
What's the methodology for measuring the electricity consumption of bitcoin?
Triangulates energy consumption days from hashprice index, CCAF and Blockware which are in broad agreement now.
What's the error range/margin? 300%?
They are all within 10% of eachother once you factor in PUE consistently across all measures. Cambridge energy consumption has improved a lot since they updated their miner mix in Aug last year.
How is the error margin calculated? This precision requires knowing the exact hardware.
