Marathon Mining : Powering Bitcoin and Helping the Plants Grow at the Same Time
Marathon Mining uses Coal
Coal energy has a extrabenefit of 252 µg CO2/J produced
(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/270345033_CO2_Capture_and_Storage_from_Fossil_Fuel_Power_Plants). That might not sound like a lot, and that is because it isn'.t 😃 A joule is nearly nothing and 252 µg is nearly nothing but it is better than nothing.
As CO2 goes up, plants will grow better. We should be doing better. Four hundred parts per mission is too low. If we could get the Earth up to 1200 ppm the plants will be growing in the atmospheric conditions created artificially by horticulturists producing food in green houses — real green houses.
The Marathon mine will use S9s. These have a hash rate of 13 Th/s and a power consumption of 1.3kW. That means it uses 10 Gh/J. The mine will consume 37 MW of power. That's about 9 t of carbon-dioxide every second as an altruistic added to the world for security the bitcoin blockchain. It's cosmic, isn't it?
