Here's the truth for all you cucks claiming that bitcoin is green. The excessive power consumption of bitcoin will be facing a huge reckoning soon.

Put option is being able to sell something for a minimum price.
So say a miner purchases 1,000 kwh at .03 cents he knows he can always run the miners for a profit.
What happens is as the grid use flucutates the miner decides to either mine or sell his electricty back for a premium.
This is going to make grids more efficient.

Layer1 technology is doing this business model and it'll continue across the world.

if a Tesla can be considered green despite being charged via 70% Coal and Natural gas burning, all because in the future we might be able to retrofit the grid to use sustainable nergy, then so is Bitcoin.

Renewables are becoming increasingly cheaper while nonrenewables are becoming increasingly expensive, and that's without including the publicized costs of things like fracking and drilling for oil.

This remains the stupidest and most deceitful Liberal narrative by the way. Do you think bank servers holding all your financial transactions don't use power? Do you think running the NYSE is using no power?

This energy argument is such a waste of time. Let me break it down for you..

When I purchase my electricity I can do whatever I want with it. There is no "morality" to how "best" to use my electricity. I can leave my TV, lights, kettle, computer on 24/7 and be "wasteful" but I still purchase it and can choose whatever I want to do with it.

You can't place morality on something such as energy usage because that's highly subjective. Especially so when you look at what actual mining of crude oil does to the environment.

Right, because you know better. You are the genius with a solution for decentralized, permissionless, trustless transacting without double spending that doesn’t burn energy and isn’t some “usually it works” statistical sampling approach or a “people with money can be trusted!” approach like PoS.

Gold mining is consuming about 200 twh per year.
Gold miners emit 1000+ tons of mercury pollution every year: 40% of global emissions.
They deforest hundreds of thousands of acres (pic related).

If BTC demonetizes gold as the dominant decentralized reserve asset, it will be a net positive for the environment.
When people buy/hold Bitcoin instead of gold, they are increase the revenue of Bitcoin miners instead of Gold miners. Bitcoin is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to using gold as a decentralized reserve asset.

People like OP use environmental propaganda to cover for the real reason why they hate Bitcoin: they are sad authoritarians who hate the financial freedom that Bitcoin provides to its' users.

I'm honestly excited to see how this all plays out. This is a play that's only necessary due to current economic sanctions. If BTC proves to be an effective geopolitical tool for bypassing sanctions there will be a lot of anger about it from the US but it's fundamentally bullish for the price of BTC. This is BTC allowing for a country to be more self sovereign even though it's not a country I support or think is doing things right at all.

~80% of small gold mining ops are already illegal.
Banning gold mining would only drive it further underground and increase the violence in the market.
The only way to stop gold mining is to drive the gold price to $0. Bitcoin is already succeeding at this by absorbing demand for a decentralized reserve asset that would normally go toward gold.

all the energy we harness comes from nuclear fusion one way or an other. fission plants use fuel produced by nuclear fusion in other stars. wind hydro and solar all use our own sun which is the real reactor.
and of course plants use solar energy to harvest co2 from the atmosphere and turn it into complex carbohydrates that turns into fossile fuel over time.
so even gasoline is energy stored from nuclear fusion.

When the grid is not in use, the excess power is dumped on the ground. The energy has to go somewhere. Since most of the electricity consumption happens at specific hours, there's a lot of extra power during the day, and balancing that is very complicated to say the least. When they can't find find somewhere for that power to go, into the ground it goes (and no, they can't just shut it down real quick, power plants are very complex, even the simple ones).
Anyway, with BTC that dumped power is used for mining and the power company makes money that way.

> the valid ledger uses proof of work to determine the valid chain

ledger state can not change just because miners mine a fucking block
to change ledger state, you need to provide signature a transaction

if no signature is provided, miners have mined an invalid block

the full nodes reject invalid blocks, hence mining is not required to produce "valid chain".

even if a block with correct and much more difficulty solved, much hashrate if its not following the rules, its still invalid.
miners did try this at ever halvening, to produce block with high reward for them such blocks are just forgotten by other miners and by full nodes

the rules are ecdsa signature is required

the network comprised of full nodes will not propagate illegal blocks. but the state of the ledger is still updated by the miners. full nodes maintain their own ledger and their shared reality by validating the miners work.

devs cant change the protocol without consensus from both full nodes and miners. it would just fuck everything up and at and create an other shitcoin.

it's just customary. but you can make valid transactions without signatures. the only thing bitcoin protocol enforces is that the sig-script must execute to true. whether it has a signature in it is irrelevant for the protocol.

One can make a protocol where "a valid chain" is determined by the full nodes according to rules which do not require PoW
and yet would still have better security properties than PoW provides

realize that PoW is only an incentive to play nice, not a security mechanism.

your coins are not more secure or less secure as hash-power goes up and down or as difficulty increases or decreases

in fact PoW is bad because it centralizes mining power into a few hands
bitcoin already had 1 hash-pool having more than 51% of the hash-rate
that means 1 actor had the power to produce an "invalid block" yet valid because it would have the most hash-power.

funny isnt it.

Block producers can be randomly selected, such as by VRF, or by weight stake uch as in myriad of PoS coins, or by random subsampling / votes as in AVAX.
There is many options, adding more security, yet not wasting energy.

The computation a miner does, is literally thrown away and forgotten as heat. Such is the value of mining - try so many permutations but throw away 99.99999% of them.
Note even if there "is magic value in generating sha sums which begin with 000s" if a miner decides to reward himself 100 coins and makes gaziliion energy waste doing that just to reward himself 100btc in that next block, its still invalid by other full nodes who did nothing. Meaning again, mining itself is valueless activity.

It's a pool not one actor and the reason why devs stress running nodes is to increase robustness against these kinds of attacks. 51% of the mining power isn't the same thing as 51% of all nodes but the issue with nodes is how cheap it is to spam many of them. In an actual serious attack scenario the users choose which fork to value, there's no reason to value the attacking network over the real network unless it does a better job in which case the attack isn't really an attack.

the chances of being selected and then producing a shitty block, is the same as chances somebody would invest in bitcoin mining equipment and then produce invalid blocks - only to be rejected by other full nodes

It uses staking. You currently only need around $300 million to totally control it forever. If that was worth it to anyone like if it was an actual threat to anything that would be cheap.

here is the real deal with nodes.
the full validating nodes are a single layer of insulation in bitcoins security scheme. not the most critical just nice to have it adds to overall security and robustness and cleaner incentives but that's all.

1 it insulates miners from ddos attempts with bogus or dirt spam transactions as they would not be propagated.
2 it insulates non validating nodes form the miners.

other validating nodes do nothing for the individual validating node financial services tend to run. but them running their own fully validating node is important.

but in the end the fully validating nodes do not participate in the nakamoto consensus. they just ensure that the incentive structure of the nakamoto consensus is more robust than without them. that's all they do.

Had glowies performed the attack in 2010, you would not have noticed at all and would still be cheerleading "muh bitcoin".

OK, miners can always decide to produce "invalid" blocks forever, what then? Mr miners must produce valid blocks.

this is another way of saying Glowies who control bitcoin and its ecosystem, can flip from "miners area in power 1 cpu 1 vote" to "users full nodes is in power" when it suites their interests.
This what you said is another way of saying "fuck all consensus rules its just about what people community market agree upon".

also how do you propose objectively reaching a trustless permisisonless and secure fully distributed consensus on time (and also ordering of events) without proof of work?

bitcoin also uses proof of work for fair distribution/issuance of new coins don't forget that! simply ordering the events i not enough for bitcoin. you have to have a link with physical reality and time without any source of authority.

go on... and mind that you could be surrounded almost completely by dishonest nodes on a mesh network. that's why getting sibyled means. dishonest nodes can easily outnumber honest nodes.

bitcoin network stalls, but the miners are heavily incentivized to defect this consensus that produces nothing just burns money. even if a single miner defects he will be rewarded with all the block rewards. you can also expect fees going skyhigh on a stalled or even slowed network. someone will mine a valid block.

bugs can only be "fixed" by social consensus that's the last resort. people could have decided not to download the fix. but they would be pretty stupid to do so.
miners could also have decided not to download the fix and users who did would only seen a staling network.
probably it would have been a chain split tho as 100% consensus would never been reached on such controversial decision.

Eclipse attack a node, big deal, just like eclipsing a bitcoin node. You cant forge signatures. Thats what the stake in PoS means, AVAX consensus requires the stake ie the amount of coins a node owns, to be signed with that address for its vote to matter.
Eclipse attack an AVAX node, try to feed it fake signatures, it will just reject them since it doenst know about them.

To successfully sybil or eclipse an avax node, you would have to break ecdsa, which if you do, you also own ALL THE BITCOINS of everyone.

As soon as you try to alter anything the 49% know that's happening and can take actions. Experience with mitigating DOS attacks has developed a lot in the last decade. A last resort is a hard fork.
In a similar situation with pos there's no separation of concerns, the users of the tokens are the stakers/miners.

is this why the bitcoin network stalled? because of such a perfect and great system.
uncensorable even.
I sent a transaction and payed a high fee in May 2017,
the transaction was stuck in mempool for weeks before being dropped.
nobody in 2021 sends btc between exchanges everyone uses other coins since btc is both high fee and unreliable, censorable even.

That only applies to nuclear power plants. Or "green" energy plants, like wind/solar. All of it is possible to balance, through storing the energy and it's not like power demand is random, it has patterns, so it is known when the peaks and throughs happen and you can plan accordingly. Also, expanding the network makes it easier to balance(inter country networks).
I personally agree, that it could be a sort of a solution, but it doesn't really make sense right now. Also still wasteful, as you'd need to have hardware that's running only "sometimes" and that depreciates relatively quickly. So you end up with piece of scrap without a purpose(asics?)
I was personally thinking of balancing the home energy needs with this, if I were to use solar panels for electricity generation instead of selling the excess power to the network. Also it'd be great if you could replace water/house heating with mining hardware. Again, problem is depreciation and repurposing.
It makes a lot of sense, if you incorporate heat waste into something productive. It would double as monetary system that is pegged against actual basic needs of everyone(warmth). Cities could easily incorporate the heat waste into heating up the water.

yes social consensus about the protocol itself. but the protocol uses proof of work to reach consensus on the ledger.

software can't directly validate human consensus. bitcoin consensus is many fold.

but the nakamoto consensus uses proof of work to determine the valid ledger. it doesn't really care or know about the underlying social consensus.

It is the main chain. Stalled. Dead.

The new chain is the one which broke bitcoin nakamoto consensus and is based instead on "somehow people agree" outside of "1 cpu 1 vote" outside of Satoshi nakamotos whitepaper. See other examples I mentioned where nakamoto consensus is overriden by "market forces" "developers" "but muh value"

Nakamoto consensus, replaced by access to github private keys and forum admin passwords.
