    This NFT environmental thing is making me crazy.

    Everyone is basing their opinion on ONE article that this guy Memo Atken wrote that paints a horrible picture. He is just a technologist, an artist, doing some calculations...good for him,,,,but he is not the only voice. He sounds authoritative. But from what I have read, while he raises legitimate issues, he also makes a lot of assumptions, and has caused digital artists to lose their minds. The press uses him as a gospel source.

    To decide an issue you need multiple sources.

    This is a headline on MSNBC: Bitcoin, NFTs and other crypto fads are destroying our planet

    What the fuck. Destroying our planet?

    I have read a number of things about this and I do not believe that anyone REALLY KNOWS.....it is complex....like immigration or free speech.....many many parts to it, factors to weigh.

    I have read multiple sources say that the NFTs dont even affect the blockchain at all....the blockchain has the same activity....this what the Super Rare piece says - they did not make that up. And Super Rare is not Google...they are a relatively small company...

    Plus EVERYONE KNOWS that ethereum and bitcoin have an energy issue. Ethereum is fixing that problem and from what I just read this afternoon by summer it will be 100x more efficient and within a year 10,000 time more efficient

    But some artists act like creating an NFT is like clubbing a baby seal to death in front of its mother and if you do it you are a horrible person....

    • babydick you cannot stay awaydkoblesky
    • since you made an appearance i know nothing good will come of this, so good nightdkoblesky
    • There are multiple sources indeed, but it seems that you are picking the only ones that makes the whole NFT narrative look good?Fabricio
    • I am being critical honestly, and I'm doing almos weekly research about it, since now even my clients are asking for me to jump in, and Im saying no no no....Fabricio
    • But yeah, it is a complex matter, and it seems people are choosing which side to "believe" just so they can continue to sell their NFT's in peace.Fabricio
    • Proof-of-Work calculations only scale to consume available capacity. GPUs used for for Ethereum alone could drive 1000x's of Pixar's 24,000 core render farmjonny_quest_lives
    • Instead the Ethereum blockchain uses them to validate basic arithmetic. Then charges users $50-175 to execute that basic arithmetic.jonny_quest_lives
    • @dkoblesky why did you get into this without fully understanding it? Have you even sold anything?grafician

    • why thye use the fire icon for every drop.. is that referencing for the co2 emissions its generating which are generating the wildfires...might be that obvious.neverscared

    • the energy required for sustaining these crypto currencies is embarrassing, you can dress it however you like but it's a turdernexbcn
