Use Bitcoin, problem solved
- DarkWiiPlayer 7y agoFor as much flaws as bitcoin has, this kind of bullshit is the biggest reason why I hope it will ultimately become a more viable form of payment.
- sschueller 7y agoI would even use Dogecoin if it came down to it. :)
- lucb1e 7y agoDo try to use a cryptocurrency that does not depend on a pollutive proof of work.
- justwalt 7y agoWhat do you mean by “pollutive proof of work?” Are you talking about its environmental impact?
- zaarn 7y agoThe environmental impact of bitcoin is undeniable, either by polluting through using coal power or by using up renewable energies that could have been used more productively elsewhere.
- lawn 7y agoOf course Bitcoin's energy consumption isn't ideal, but you've got to realize something: Bitcoin mining is only profitable if you have access to very cheap energy. This is why there are so many miners in China that use hydroelectric power, because there's so much excess energy that wouldn't be used otherwise. Miners don't really use coal power or use up renewable energy that could be used elsewhere. That would be too expensive for them.
- zaarn 7y agoEven if Bitcoin only uses CO2-free energy, they hog energy that would be available for other projects, so those projects need to use more coal power in return, hence it creates pollution.
- colonwqbang 7y agoThe operation of the Bitcoin network involves wasting a significant amount of energy.
- lawn 7y agoOr even better, use Monero so your donations become untraceable.
- Jamwinner 7y agoOr, you know, cash.
