Ethereum Mining Needs More Energy Than Cyprus, Cambodia, Brunei
https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum ... dia-bruneiEthereum energy consumption is more than the entire island of Cyprus, as well as Cambodia and Brunei, according to reports.
Mining of Ethereum, which is still available with standard home hardware, “could be consuming as much as 4.2 Terawatt-hours (tWh),” Business Insider notes, citing research by Digiconomist founder Alex de Vries. The findings are part of the resource’s Ethereum Energy Consumption Index, launched to track expenditure as the network prepares to transfer from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-stake model Casper.
