Oblikovan bo svet za rudarstvo bitcoinov, ki bo spodbujal preglednost porabe energije

At a meeting hosted by MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, the leading bitcoin (BTC) miners in North America decided to form the Bitcoin Rudarski svet.

saylor tweeted da so se udeleženci srečanja "dogovorili, da bodo spodbujali preglednost porabe energije in pospeševali trajnostne pobude po vsem svetu." Med prisotnimi so bili vodstveni delavci Argo Blockchain, Blockcap, Core Scientific, Galaxy Digital, Hive Blockchain, Hut 8 Mining, Marathon Digital Holdings in Riot Blockchain.

Drugi cilji skupine vključujejo standardizacijo poročanja o energiji, zasledovanje industrijskih ciljev ESG ter izobraževanje in razvoj trga.

Saylor je v odgovor na podobno objavil v Twitterju ena od predsednika uprave Tesle Elona Muska, ki je bil prav tako prisoten na srečanju. Musk je srečanje označil za "potencialno obetavno". Opozoril je tudi, da se je skupina "zavezala, da bo objavila trenutno in načrtovano uporabo obnovljivih virov in to prosila rudarje WW."

Pojasnitev vpliva kripto

Čeprav so odzivi na Twitterju obsojali osrednjo naravo namenov skupine, bi lahko olajšal, da bi rudarstvo postalo bolj trajnostno. Musk in drugi so že prej podali podobne predloge.

Prejšnji teden, Musk je dejal energy audits of large bitcoin miners could help solve the debate around cryptocurrency’s environmental impact. The comment came as a passing remark in Musk’s reply to a post by ARK Invest analysts. 

V njegovi tweet, Musk largely agreed with an argument the analysts made, saying bitcoin could be powered by renewables over time. However, he added that bitcoin’s recent growth in energy usage could not have been done as fast with renewable energy. Ultimately, he concluded, the question could be resolved “if the top ten mešanje orgs just post audited numbers of renewable energy.” The newly established council could help substantiate this idea.

Meanwhile, Blockchain for Climate Foundation founder Joseph Pallant potekala a similar notion about demystifying energy used by Bitcoin miners. Pallant had said that potential investors understanding the environmental impact of their individual choices would be key for facilitating a “cleaner bitcoin.”

Poudaril je, da bi lahko spodbujanje rudarjev k izmenjavi podatkov o njihovem ogljičnem odtisu v tem pogledu daleč daleč. Čeprav jih je "zelo težko priti do izmenjave podatkov, ker resnično potrebujejo njihovo zasebnost," je priznal Pallant.
