Seen a request from one of the Debian developers today in Planet Debian:
“As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address …” (won’t put the address here)
Another Debian developer – one I’ve met several times already; he’s a nice guy – has this in his signature in an internal email:
“A single bitcoin transaction alone consumes 621 KWh, or half a million times
more energy consumption than a credit card payment. The bitcoin network annually
wastes 78 TWh (terrawatt hours) annually or the energy consumption of several
million US households. https://twitter.com/smdiehl/status/1350869944888664064“
So thanks for your good work, dear DD #1, but as DD #2 suggested, I won’t use Bitcoin. Never ever.
