Title: Bitcoin mining and electricity
Post by: emmybd on February 10, 2021, 04:53:22 PM
Internet banking systems or ATMs usually transfer money with the help of an intermediary, which causes expenses twice as much trouble, that’s how bitcoin chooses to save the day with simple and fast transactions. To make bitcoin this much fast and convenient, a huge amount of electric power is being employed. The efficiency depends on hashes, which the mining hardware uses.
Bitcoin, according to bitcoin’s power usage tracker by Digiconomist, mines at a rate of 77.78 terawatt-hours per year, at the moment which is equal to the entire electricity usage in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. CoinShares has reported from their research that most of their energy comes from wind, hydroelectric and photovoltaic sources; these are all sustainable and renewable sources.
Many might be concerned with bitcoin’s mining substantiate in China. However, only 60% of it is being mined in China, while the 40% remaining take place in varying areas across Washington, New York, British Columbia, Iran, Sweden, Newfoundland, and a few more places.

Bitcoin mining is always a costly business and the main issue for mining is the electricity because as per the mining formula you can't earn a good profit until you have a free electricity.

indeed! a huge supply of electricity is needed in order to mine a substantial amount of BTC. I read so many articles about it and miners tend to place their mining rig in a remote area to avoid any inconvenience to any nearby residential or any building that uses electricity because they know that their rig will consume much electricity than others.

I agree. Electricity in our country has already become very expensive. And therefore, it is completely unprofitable to mine BITCOIN. If you connect illegally to some station and mine bitcoin, you may still be able to make a profit. But if you get smacked, then you face a long prison term (

I heard before IICR last 2017 when bitcoin reach $20k when a town/country banned mining due to more electricity was being consumed more than that current town I cant recall it but somewhere in Europe region or I dont know if in Iceland somewhere.

Bitcoin mining is not for all of us.Because we usually know that a bitcoin mining has to spend a lot of money And has to consume a lot of electricity .Which is why we can't mining bitcoin very easily.Mining a bitcoin requires a lot of hard computer buildup.A few days ago, I saw the news that Iceland was experiencing a shortage of electricity due to bitcoin mining.So I think bitcoin mining is not such an easy way.Currently most mining is in China.Where bitcoin is mined like 60 percent.And the remaining 40% of bitcoin mining is worldwide.

on YouTube very often there is information on how you can minimize losses from mining, by using the heat received from a mining farm to heat a living space in your house. and also in the summer, you can use solar panels to obtain alternative, practically free electricity. If all of these possibilities are correctly modeled, the profit will be higher than the cost.

Bitcoin's use of POW makes it the most secure Blockchain in the world, at least it has never suffered from attacks, the only way we can influence Bitcoin is carrying out a hardfork to have a different Bitcoin version.
However POW is also consuming too much energy, and thousands of machines are just solving nonsense calculations, maybe just counting sheeps to an extremely large number :) I really hope in the future Bitcoin community will have a general agreement to change the consensus protocol, POS or another version will be a more reasonable choice.

Mining Bitcoin does require considerable electricity, sophisticated tools and a strong signal.  All of that support each other.  And of course, the bigger the tools used, the greater the electrical power we need.  And all of that costs a lot, and only the rich will do that.

Therefore, I do not see any particular problems with the consumption of electricity for mining bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. The use of solar panels, the production of which is constantly improving and becoming cheaper, may well solve this problem. It is only necessary to correctly ensure the accounting and control of this process. Problems can only arise where miners abuse the consumption of public electricity. In general, this problem is contrived.

Since electricity must be used continuously in large quantities, bitcoin must have the right application standards. And one way to do this is by placing it in the outskirt area to avoid potential interference or crowd access.

Bitcoin mining is an expensive one.  This is because Bitcoin requires electricity to dig or generate.  And you won't benefit from your bitcoin until you get electricity for free.  Bitcoin requires a lot of electricity to generate.  So it can be said that digging bitcoin is an expensive one.

I am sure that the electricity or energy needed by the Bitcoin ecosystem can be the big reason why soon we can see attacks coming from people who declared themselves to be the savior of the global climate change happening right now. And many of them are already right now in the Biden administration led by the current VP. personally, I am also concerned of the energy needed to run Bitcoin though we have to understand that all industries are using power hence Bitcoin should not be crucified just because of this. Now, we already have alternative sources of power that are sustainable and Bitcoin miners are already using this to the large extent...but I would be happy if there can be a way to lessen the power demand by Bitcoin perhaps by an improved mining technology maybe.

If you can't dig bitcoin you can't get electricity before making anything it has to be dug and then the power connection is required. This is why bitcoin mining will double its value by increasing its demand which will improve the future of bitcoin investors.

The way the price of bitcoin goes up is actually like electricity.  The price of this bitcoin is increasing and the price of bitcoin is decreasing.  So it is not possible to predict when the price of Bitcoin will rise and fall.  So Bitcoin has been compared to ElectricCity.

As long as there is a halving in Bitcoin, electricity use does not cover the amount of bitcoin obtained. It has been seen that some countries even ban bitcoin mining due to excessive use of electricity. However, because the price of bitcoin is good now, the return of mining may be good, but if bitcoin is withdrawn to 15-20 thousand dollars again, there may be a situation of not meeting the electricity fee.

Bitcoin mining requires a big capital because electricity, hardware and the internet must be in line and in tune, because if neither of them exists, the result will end in sadness or failure.
For example, the cost of electricity in my country is expensive and it allows Bitcoin mining in my country not supported. This is only my opinion . Cheerssss !

Yes, I think bitcoin mining is very expensive and need high cost. I personally don't agree to mine bitcoin now. You need to buy equipment and pay the electricity cost. I think It is not profitable. Trading is better to do now.

To make bitcoin this much fast and convenient, a huge amount of electric power is being employed. The efficiency depends on hashes, which the mining hardware uses.
Bitcoin, according to bitcoin’s power usage tracker by Digiconomist, mines at a rate of 77.78 terawatt-hours per year, at the moment which is equal to the entire electricity usage in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. CoinShares has reported from their research that most of their energy comes from wind, hydroelectric and photovoltaic sources; these are all sustainable and renewable sources.

Internet systems and ATMs do more than just deal with third parties.  But Bitcoin transactions do not involve any third party, it is a peer-to-peer transaction.  This saves a lot of cost and time.  The tip would be a huge benefit to the world if the steps taken by other countries, including China, to implement the huge amount of electricity required to make Bitcoin were implemented.

One of the major reasons why mining is always hard to do is because of the use of electricity. Although there are some techniques of mining that require less electricity, the result is also not too much. It is different from those who mine the Bitcoin using the high power.

Everything sounds very beautiful and cloudless from your lips, dear, but the reality is that in reality mining is a very complex, expensive and dangerous way to make money. With each new day, the complexity of bitcoin mining increases, and the cost of mining costs increases accordingly. I believe that only large mining giants can engage in mining now, and only the rest will only lose!

The fact is that most of the electricity is spent not only on powering computing systems, but also on cooling them. A friend of mine owns a mining farm at home and needs a strong enough air circulation system to dissipate the heat. Although in winter it is possible to save and this heat can be used to heat living quarters.

Huge electric power is always needed to do Bitcoin mining, everything will be calculated based on how many units of mining equipment you have.
If the mining equipment requires an overall power supply of 350Kva (this is a lot of power to power at least 10 AC units with 20pk capacity) then miners spend around $4500 usd / month powering all the units.
In my opinion, this number is still small compared to several large manufacturers that have large-scale machines to operate production machines

This always becomes two things that cannot be separated. As we know, Bitcoin mining always needs electricity in order to run their mining and also getting the mining n this case, higher the power, mining will be better. That is why mining and electricity are ways related and we may feel difficult to get the power for mining.

The cost of mining bitcoin is generalized to the energy used for mining. The form of mining is completely based on power source, and to really get some substantial amount, more energy will be utilized on daily basis. This completely means, without power supply, no mining, with no mining, transactions can't be completed or successful, no successful transactions no fun in crypto space.  The use of renewable energy will stand to be the rescue of this energy issue, as to help reduce the pollution of our atmosphere and health hazards.

the fact that Bitcoin mining is very expensive is understandable, but in my opinion this is most of all connected not with electricity, but with the price of equipment, which had to be changed last year. recently, video cards have become very expensive, but you must agree that mining pays off completely, given the current bitcoin rate.

The fact is that governments are raising the issue of Environmental pollution, because a lot of electricity is spent on Bitcoin mining and, accordingly, emissions of harmful substances occur during the production of energy. But nevertheless, no one takes into account the fact that in any case, electricity is produced and sold as a commodity, and what difference does it make who consumes it.

In principle, everything is correct to say, what difference does it make who consumes electricity if the government gets good money for it. It seems to me that the government, on the contrary, is beneficial for them to have such a client, here the harmfulness depends on the location of bitcoin mining mines. Now huge corporations with billions of dollars of capital are engaged in mining, this is all said and no defenders of nature and ecology, unfortunately, will not be able to influence their decision.

For me even bitcoin price dump the cost of electricity never change. I do view miners both enjoy the benefits in times of dump and pump. I also think it is more advantage to mine bitcoin at the decline time. Because the higher bitcoin to earn although lower the usdt value.

Of course, I agree with you. I think buy when low and sell when is better than mining and electricity.  I think trading and holding are more profitable than mining now. I see many investors already do trading , not as miner again..That's my analyzing mate, maybe other member has own opinion.

All the work in the world now needs electricity.  In fact, BTC requires a large supply of electricity to excavate.  Many people comment on the use of electricity in Bangladesh.  Because after the winter season comes too hot.  In this heat, Bangladesh shows a little more load shedding.  There are many types of problems.

I myself would start mining bitcoins, but only for this you need good equipment, as you do not watch TV, the underground bitcoin mining workshops are closed by the FSB. Occupy huge territories and it brings a huge income until they catch and take away all the equipment.

Bitcoin mining is very profitable even though the electricity payment costs are very high, but everything can be paid off and still get a profit.
But in my opinion is the biggest bitcoin miner really in china? isn't Russia also the biggest bitcoin miner?
Anyone please explain my question

Currently, if we want to mine Bitcoin, it will cost a lot of money, electricity is one of them that we have to pay a high price for. Why do we have to have sophisticated and expensive equipment if we want to mine Bitcoin, this is because out there the competition in producing Bitcoin by mining is very high and if our tools are not sophisticated then we will lose to them. High cost, large electric power will cost a lot.

I believe that under the current conditions for those people who consider almost every dollar of their income, not only buying, but also mining Bitcoin is practically unattainable due to a sufficiently large investment. I suppose this should have been addressed early when many of us had doubts about bullshore in early 2021.

According to the latest study conducted in 2020, the country with the cheapest electricity is Iran, priced at $0.01 kilowatt hour. But it's so cheap because they tend to suffer a lot of supply outages, so I don't think it's worth mining Bitcoin in that country. You can find more updated prices on the internet, but I don't think they have changed much in a single year.

consider this fact that solar energy is still efficient, if the equipment is not too expensive. but one way or another, the cost of solar stations increases in price due to the cost of storage batteries. in the summertime, mining without batteries can be quite buyable and efficient from solar panels.

Making bitcoin is a very complicated subject.

But it is also if the Chinese state government intervenes that individuals might find it very difficult.

I believed it will get to a time when inventors Will manufacture ASIC mining equipment with low rate of electricity consumption probably mining equipment that will operate with solar power and consume less power, else the present  high rate at which miners powers their mining equipment wouldn't be profitable except in a country which has a cheaper electricity

The data you say is totally true, China has always been the country where Bitcoin has been mined the most, and no matter how authoritarian the Chinese government is, they cannot control everything, although sometimes I think that they do not control mining for political interests.

Mining makes a lot, a lot of money. The Chinese government may make it difficult for the miners to work, but the miners are not going to stop mining. They will move their mining farms to other more distant places, they will obtain their electricity supply from other sources, but they will not stop mining. I doubt that the Chinese government can constantly control the entire geography of its country.

Bitcoin is a currency in the world of cryptocurrency that is increasing transactions in every business. Cryptocurrencies are spreading all over the world. The value of bitcoin is much less than the amount of electricity it costs to mine the bitcoin currency. So I think bitcoin mining through electricity is very expensive and unprofitable. So Bitcoin mining is heard during Harmony. If the cost of bitcoin mining is too high, then it is desirable to refrain from such mining.

That's what the Chinese government is trying to do, but... China has almost 10,000,000 square kilometers, the areas with the highest mining capacity are in unpopulated or very sparsely populated areas, trying to control such a large territory is going to be very difficult even for the Chinese government. I wouldn't be surprised if the miners moved from time to time, even if they had higher expenses.

Annual consumption of Smartphones: 5.5 kwh
Units sold in 2020 = 1.3 billion
Total annual consumption: 71.5 TWh

Annual consumption PS4: 120 kwh
Units sold: 115 million
Total consumption: 138 TWh

Annual consumption Xbox 360: 150 kwh
Units sold: 84 million

The user did not include the consumption of PC gamers for example, nor the consumption of banks worldwide, but I think these data make things very clear. Bitcoin may not consume as much energy after all.

If I plan to mine it is very costly in my country with current charges of the electricity. Mining is profitable only for those who have cheaper electricity otherwise buy a bitcoin is quite cheap rather than mining.

Because the amount of electrical energy required to mine a bitcoin can be used to purchase two bitcoins with that amount of resources. A few days ago, I saw that Iran has completely stopped mining bitcoin in their country.

In part you are right, but not in everything you say. It is true that sometimes it is cheaper to buy Bitcoin than to mine it, but it depends on the country. For example, in Venezuela, the electricity needed to mine a Bitcoin costs $531, and in Iceland it is also very cheap, although I do not have the exact data at the moment. In several countries in South America it is much cheaper to mine than to buy.

The thing is, Bitcoin mining having a big environmental impact has always been an issue. The world just somehow didn't notice until Musk tweeted about it. Which kind of makes me question his credibility since he hadn't seemed to care about the issue when he initially started pumping Bitcoin and Doge.

Thanks for that information. I have been looking for verified data on the electricity consumption of the banks for several days, but as you say that information is not public, or at least it is not public of all banks. But if we take the average monthly consumption that you have said, I think it is very clear that Bitcoin consumes little electricity compared to other things.

Crypto hasn't changed recently... however the degree of power consumption in proof of work blockchains has been put under a microscope by the media recently. It's a bit unfair as there are many other industries that have the same problem but have not been put in the same negative light by the media... for example gold mining requires more energy that bitcoin mining world-wide and most of that gold is used as a store of value (rather than functional parts of electronic circuits let's say). Ultimately cryptocurrency is one of the best things that have happened to the world in forever, so the solution is ultimately to generate the needed power in a more environmentally friendly way and we will get there.

Some folks are upset at Elon Musk for unleashing the power-consumption FUD on the bitcoin / crypto community... but really in time regardless of what it is that takes a lot of energy, as humanity we need to move towards generating that energy in a more environmentally friendly way. The solution is obviously not to stop mining but to make it more eco-friendly... and this is something that we need to deal with, perhaps the recent attention in media to the power consumption will help us get there faster than otherwise.

Internet banking systems or ATMs usually transfer money with the help of an intermediary, which causes expenses twice as much trouble, that’s how bitcoin chooses to save the day with simple and fast transactions. To make bitcoin this much fast and convenient, a huge amount of electric power is being employed. The efficiency depends on hashes, which the mining hardware uses.
Bitcoin, according to bitcoin’s power usage tracker by Digiconomist, mines at a rate of 77.78 terawatt-hours per year, at the moment which is equal to the entire electricity usage in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. CoinShares has reported from their research that most of their energy comes from wind, hydroelectric and photovoltaic sources; these are all sustainable and renewable sources.
Many might be concerned with bitcoin’s mining substantiate in China. However, only 60% of it is being mined in China, while the 40% remaining take place in varying areas across Washington, New York, British Columbia, Iran, Sweden, Newfoundland, and a few more places.

I believe that a lot of argument has been made for this issue regarding Bitcoin mining and energy consumption.

(https://i.imgur.com/91HrfqV.jpg)

As you mentioned, they're a lot of argument here that some of the miners are also using renewable energy and why don't they complain about these other sectors that actually consume more energy than Bitcoin mining? The only thing I see here is FUD.

For states and their governments, it is absolutely unimportant that there are spheres and areas that consume much more energy than Bitcoin mining. It's just that they don't actually need cryptocurrency, including bitcoin, so the consumption of a significant amount of energy by bitcoin will serve as an excuse for possible measures to restrict its circulation in the future.
Even if bitcoin consumed much less energy, governments would still find another reason to have claims against a decentralized cryptocurrency.

It was not only Elon Musk who spoke about the energy consumption of bitcoin mining. Society has long been raising the topic of global climate change and large volumes of greenhouse gas emissions. If not for this circumstance, then perhaps the consumption of a large amount of energy by the cryptocurrency would not have been paid attention. At the last summit of the G20 countries, it was decided to fight the causes of dramatic climate change on our planet. Of course, states will not infringe on their industries, which are vital for maintaining the state's economy. It is easier for them to pay attention to a cryptocurrency in which they are not interested in principle, even if it does not consume a relatively large amount of energy.

Yeah, electricity always be needed at mining and other.
I agree with you, Without electricity we cannot do online transaction and mining.
It's really important.

Maybe it will happen until for several years again, we always need electricity to do online transaction.
As you said.
But talking electricity in bitcoin mining we must pay high cost

Bitcoin mining is always depending on electricity, We must pay more.
I think It's not profitable or not suitable for me.
Because I didn't have .pre money to do that.

I read a news a long time ago that bitcoin mining requires a lot of debt. Because Bitcoin mining requires a lot of electricity which affects a country. When doing Bitcoin mining, it can be seen that additional electricity is consumed so that there is no profit in Bitcoin mining.Rather, the country has to be in a loss, so most of the countries are in a lot of trouble with electricity for Bitcoin mining.

Huge electric power is always needed to do Bitcoin mining, everything will be calculated based on how many units of mining equipment you have.
If the mining equipment requires an overall power supply of 350Kva (this is a lot of power to power at least 10 AC units with 20pk capacity) then miners spend around $4500 usd / month powering all the units.
In my opinion, this number is still small compared to several large manufacturers that have large-scale machines to operate production machines

You're right, high electricity power is always needed to do bitcoin mining.
We must pay more cost nd we all see at several country bitcoin mining has been blocked.
The government didn't allow this and said It's not good for environmental

Bitcoin mining is always a costly business and the main issue for mining is the electricity because as per the mining formula you can't earn a good profit until you have a free electricity.

If you talk about free electricity, I think It's impossible.
Because electricity is always being needed at mining and also online transaction.
For mining , we must pay very expensive, also must buy equipment to do that.

Mining bitcoin need special ASIC ( application specific integrated circuit ) is used and it use a lot of electricity , i knows that mining with ASICs is not every one work and not even works on homes because only one ASIC takes 3000 watts of electricity which way higher than anything on home , Therefore these machines is not suitable for home if you want to mine other coins then there are so many low power miners .
                   
                             Thanks

Now it is quite difficult to find free electricity for bitcoin mining and it is problematic to mine it now, of course large companies can engage in bitcoin mining.

Due to the current economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, further dramatic climate change and the consequences of Russia's war of conquest in Ukraine, the attitude of states towards the mining of cryptocurrencies using the PoW algorithm may change. The high energy consumption during the mining of such cryptocurrencies, and above all bitcoin, has long been pointed out by some high officials of states and organizations for the protection of the environment. A winter is approaching, which will be very difficult for European countries due to their reorientation from Russian energy resources to alternative ones. After all, their long-established supply chains have been disrupted, and their change causes certain difficulties. Therefore, bitcoin can quite realistically fall out of favor with states.

Due to my economic I won't consider the price of electricity to be a problem. The electricity fee in my country is quite cheaper than most and that's why I still earn pretty well from mining.

Bitcoin mining is a very great decision but the mining needs the electricity if you are interested to start the mining then you need to install the solar panels and through that you need to start the mining but if you start the mining through electricity then you pay a huge amount of electricity bills and this time the solar panels are the best for the mining because its a one time investment and best for us because through this we can save our electricity.

You're right, we must pay Hugh amount of electricity bill.
It's very expensive to do mining.
As a Little investor and trader, I just do trading and investing in top coins.
But didn't mining

Bitcoin mining is good way to gain profit, but it's very expensive to do.
We should buy equipment and pay electricity cost.
I personally prefer in holding and trading

I don't know if there was ever free electricity for bitcoin mining :) even those using solar power need the first capital for that installation and subsequent maintenance. So mining is something that is needed for the Network but is quite expensive and only people and organizations with medium to deep pockets can engage in mining.

nothing is free to start Bitcoin mining it's just that there might be electricity at a very cheap price and it happens that several countries that are polar are also often used as places to mine bitcoin because with cold temperatures there is no need to buy high amounts of coolers, electricity that is need in the country of El Salvador is also cheap to do Bitcoin mining.
