Life is not that simple, we do not always get what we want. Think of it as a simple business transaction or investment. If you are being specific about energy consumption and environmental impact of mining then there are many so-called eco-friendly coins out there, you should consider joining their project if it makes you feel you will meet your goals.
But I want PoW.
It's just that I don't like the impact on the environment.
All that energy has it's purpose, so what I am looking for is a better usage of that energy. Without compromising the competitive mining.
And now, from what I've learned, I have some thinking to do on how the aggregate mining cost fits the equation. We also want to reduce that.
People always talk about PoW being a big problem for the environment.
This is enormous stupidity, since PoW is only a process to solve some operations, and that does not pollute.
What really pollutes is generating polluting energy with fossil fuels, with nuclear energy that generates hazardous waste ... but for example using a solar farm, or a hydroelectric, or wind energy, is not a problem, since who uses the energy pay.
And it does not matter if it is used to extract BTC, Dash, light a cabbage garden, play GTA, or get into a tanning booth.
Saying that PoW is harmful to nature is like saying that bullets are bad ...
Mining in Dash has been providing security to the network for a long time, and it has not stopped growing.
On the other hand, the master nodes have shown great inconsistencies in their decisions:
The great american pilgrimage
Dash aeroesports
ALT36
...
Just by investing those funds in gold through the DIF, Dash would now be worth twice as much.
PoW has never been wrong, and the master nodes evidently have.
I remember that time is running out, we had the opportunity to put Dash on Olympus when he was trading at more than $ 500.
Now Dash is in danger of going into a death spiral for bad decisions.
I say it and I repeat it ... quality marketing using a renowned company, and chosen by the nodes from a list of several companies.
Do not let DCG choose the company, as we have already seen what has happened in the past with these funds.
