Bitcoin cash and SV are low on the carbon emission cause they forked from BTC right? So they re-used bitcoins early work. Or am I totally wrong here?

- onion-soup 5y agoNo, Because SV does not limit block size which allows tremendous throughput. Google block size war. >re-used bitcoins early work All forks share the same blockchain up until certain block.
- zhoujianfu 5y agoWe’ll, for POW coins the “energy efficiency” falls directly out of the market cap divided by the number of transactions. BSV has essentially free transactions and not a high market cap, and so has a (suspiciously?) high txn count to price ratio.
- onion-soup 5y agoNo, txs are cheap because blocks are big enough to allow high throuoghput. BTC has 1 MB block so txs compete to get into next bloock.
- baby 5y agoLess users and smaller price => fewer miners
- lawn 5y agoNo, they use less energy because their price is lower, but they're more efficient because they scale better than Bitcoin. (But BSV scales in an unhealthy manner.)
