From all developers honestly but just from indies would be great considering they already have it in their contract that the % goes down after X$ of sales (which benefits larger devs).

Valve makes enough money to pay their employees more than the competition while also having surplus to have tons of side projects that will lead to nothing and making the boss a billionaire… I don’t mind the first two, but that last bit means money coming out of our pockets and going towards buying yachts…

(Disclaimer: I hate all billionaires, this applies to all platforms, we overpay for games [and most other things] in general because there’s billionaires at the top of the creation/distribution chain)

Donnie wouldn’t have been elected in the first place with a fair system. Also you make it an independent non partisan agency so the president can’t interfere.

“is migrating”

It happened years ago buddy and PoS still uses more energy than centralized solutions for the same number of transactions.

I’m done, you’re brainwashed, goodbye!

2014 would have been even better

What I meant is that if you look at Canada for example, provincial elections are separate from federal elections and the federal government manages its own elections and the provinces aren’t involved at all (it’s even seen as a faux pas for a premier to tell people who they would rather see in power at the federal level).

Ignorant Canadian but I know that around here the Greens aren’t necessarily seen as the left wing party, in part because their program isn’t broad enough

One yacht? That’s amateur numbers!

From the get go, you’re wrong

https://www.coindesk.com/learn/bitcoin-mining-difficulty-everything-you-need-to-know/

The more people mine, the more decentralized it is, the more energy is necessary because difficulty is increased. The more transactions happen, the more blocks are required, the more energy needs to be spent to confirm all the transactions. The more it’s used, the higher the value, the more people mine.

There’s a limit to the number of transactions per block as well, so no, your can’t just say “1 or 1000 it’s the same”.

Visa is already able to handle 24000 transactions per second as is, no need for more infrastructure.

Crypto uses 1% of the world’s energy production for a couple trillions in assets, the financial system uses 2.5% for quadrillions in assets, multiple thousands more than crypto, no, crypto can’t scale to that without a huge environmental impact.

Yes you are trying to greenwash crypto, just stop.

For some people eating oats = poor, people with money eat bread and eggs and bacon and cereals in the morning…

It’s incredible that the federal government doesn’t handle its own elections in the USA…

15b without talking about the number of transactions is meaningless and prices wouldn’t be lower without agents as the person buying is still paying that price, they don’t care who the money goes to.

So you’re gathering the magic with your magic the gathering cards

Visa can process a maximum of 24k TPS

Crypto energy usage goes up the more it’s being used and the more decentralized it becomes. Centralized services like Visa can increase the network load while barely increasing the energy requirements.

Crypto bros always forget that to replace the banking system, crypto would need to replace the infrastructure as well, but because of decentralization it would be less energy efficient for the same result.

You can just stop, there’s no way to greenwash crypto and decentralization. The amount of transactions happening on all crypto networks at the moment could be handled by one server if it was centralized. There’s benefits to it, stop trying to sell it as being green, it’s not and never will be.

That person deserves some jail time

“more elephants than we need”

They’re an endangered species you moron!

I didn’t even get to that, house energy usage can’t be compared to crypto energy usage, they’re not used for the same thing!

“I refuse your resignation!”

“Ok, see you tomorrow then…”

[Never show up again]

Ok, I was in agreement with you (the concept of NFTs is great, what people do with it is dumb) until the environment part

Crypto, even proof of stake, isn’t energy efficient and never will be, the banking sector uses more energy but it also manages quadrillion in funds and transactions, crypto’s value as a whole is orders of magnitude less than that and there’s more energy spent per transaction than in the traditional financial sector. Crypto replacing banks and cash would be an environmental disaster.

Next, even if mining is done using green energy, it means that this energy isn’t used to reduce emissions in other, actually essential, sectors. There’s an environmental cost to green energy (what do you think was under the dam’s reservoir?) so having to produce more infrastructure just for crypto is wasteful.

If you have enough customers that you can sell 4 lbs to one at a rebate and the rest is sold at regular price to the other clients, but then that one client starts buying all your stock at a rebate, you’re losing money compared to the past situation, so you might be better off losing that client or forcing them to pay full price and hoping that they just continue buying depending on how the math works out…
