Does using nostr mean I HAVE to use bitcoin? I would rather use tezos: this could be a deal-breaker for me. #crypto #bitcoin #tezos #thereisnoplanetB

Environmental effects of bitcoin - Wikipedia
A 2022 non-peer-reviewed commentary published in Joule estimated that bitcoin mining resulted in annual carbon emission of 65 Mt CO 2, representing 0.2% of global emissions, which is comparable to the level of emissions of Greece.

Tezos is a pioneer in environmental responsibility within the blockchain space. It utilizes a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism, which has a much smaller energy footprint compared to Proof-of-Work (PoW). In fact, Tezos' energy usage is equivalent to just 17 global citizens.
I find it aggressive and off-putting of you to imply that I'm not interested in the truth: that's not a great way to help people learn. I'm new-ish to all this and would be interested to learn more. I found this link: do you have any others you'd like to share? https://tinyurl.com/crypto-myths
Would like to learn more about this. Can you point me to some reliable sources for reading/research? I found this recent-ish (24 October 2023) report published by the United Nations University (a reliable source, yes?) that talks about the environmental damage of cryptocurrency in general and bitcoin in particular, since it's the most popular. https://unu.edu/press-release/un-study-reveals-hidden-environmental-impacts-bitcoin-carbon-not-only-harmful-product
Is it possible to delete posts? I'm new to this and am having lots of problems: see my profile and you'll see what I mean. I don't want all those tests that didn't work to stay there. #nostr
Thanx! Maybe you could also help me understand why I'm able to post an image here directly, but when I post via nootti, the image never ever shows up. I wrote to nooti and they replied saying I needed to set up a media server, but the link they sent took me to a page showing how to connect accounts (mastodon, bluesky and nostr). I had already done that. What I want to do is post simultaneously to all three accounts via nootti, with a picture each time. I never do text-only posts.
