I am not saying that it is "not relevant", I'm saying the discussion is pointless: No new information has arrived since the very first times that this has been discussed except that the first halving passed without incident. If people were not sufficiently convinced that this was a serious concern before there was concrete evidence (however small) that it was okay, then discussion is not likely going to turn out differently the 50th or 100th time it is repeated... except, perhaps, by wearing out all the most experienced and knowledgeable among us as we become tired of rehashing the same discussions over and over again.

This is wildly at odds with reality. I don't mean to insult, but please understand that every post you make here consumes the time of dozens (or, hopefully, hundreds) of people. Every minute you spend refining your post has a potential return of many minutes for the rest of the users of the list. At current difficulty, with a SP30 (one of the leading-in-power-efficiency) marginal break-even is ~1144.8852 * $/kwh == $/btc. At $0.10/kwh each block has an expected cost right now, discounting all one time hardware costs, close to $3000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
