stop running servers computing hashes that don't contribute to society? btc cough /s I used to work for a tech company that used big data to convince large swaths of people to become energy efficient. One of the company metrics was how much energy was saved, accounting for our footprint as well; it was fun and gratifying when we crossed the saved more than 1TWh threshold, which also reduced the need for fossil fuel peaker plants.
