RE: The Old Dog Asks: Is The Steem Blockchain Enviromentally Friendly? Contest Winners!
It's a worthwhile question, though, and one that's hard to answer. Just how much energy is used by the blockchain? I've worked with some rough numbers and guesstimated, but never had any thorough answers. And there was (or is coming?) A change that will lower witness costs, presumably lowering energy requirements?
This is true. It will move fro high RAM storage to cheaper hard drive storage I believe.
In any case POS is uses much less energy than POW.
Absolutely. My father's issue with it, though, is he's trying to figure out if it's more efficient than Facebook.
