I had a chat with Guillaume and he raised the concern of energy consumption on blockchain platforms.
I had a little look, and realized this platform runs on Etherium, which has a significantly lower energy footprint than bitcoin, but still a rather high footprint. You can see the consumption charts through years here: https://digiconomist.net/ethereum-energy-consumption According the above link, energy per transaction on etherium is ~40kWh, which is about 6EUR/transaction on my electricity bill, and to be that's way too high of a price and electricity consumption. I think then my vote would be a no wrt. this platform. Cheers, Adrin On Fri, Feb 5, 2021 at 6:13 PM Adrin <adrin.jal...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just got this on the pandas-dev mailing list.
