I don't see the difference your distinction makes, (why is this important?).
The electricity is consumed, the sunk cost of the hardware is depreciated over time as it is used, heat is a byproduct.
The water and sunlight is consumed, land is depreciated, new seeds may be produced, fiber is a byproduct.
No matter and energy is created or destroyed, though a modicum is transformed, in each case.
Both cases the means of production are not consumed, both require some amount of entropy/time to pass. The process is similar enough that the distinction is not so meaningful.
The guy with the pot started with a seed and some sun.
The guy with the coin started with a CPU, code and some energy.
If you have extra of either, you might do a trade, but... why not just use a better coin?
The "seed and some sun[light]" (NewLiberty) is "consumed" (NewLiberty); however, the "code" (NewLiberty) never is, and the "CPU" (NewLiberty) but
marginally so.
