It’d be a lot cooler (ha) if we didn’t have to burn the energy of a small country for questionable-to-zero actual gains in privacy though.


I partially agree. Bitcoin is a failure and it's pretty sad that so much energy is being spent mining it. I wouldn't mind that same amount of energy being spent on Monero though.

It would also be nice if we could use the heat generated by computers for something instead of dissipating it all into the air. That way the energy wouldn't actually be wasted.
