I know it will go over your head but the scheme in Texas that bitcoin miners take advantage is not isolated to bitcoin and is used in other industries there as well. From a electric market perspective it makes sense, ignoring the functionality of bitcoin mining. Having industrials that can dynamically adjust their use is very helpful for electric generation.

Where did OP say that? They said _power suckers_, as in plural and used bitcoin mining as one example. It’s strange you started your comment with an unnecessary personal attack and assumption OP is an idiot when you didn't seem to understand their comment. I dont understand why you had to take it so personal. Unless you're part of ERCOT or a energy supplier, I guess, but even that's not a good reason.

Sorry my comment got you upset.

My point is that power suckers serve as part of a healthy energy grid because they are able to somewhat time their use which helps for overall grid health. I am not sure how well that would play into a data center, so I think the original comparison to AI is weak but nonetheless from the OP bitcoin perspective it is.

Your comment didn't upset me. But it seems my comment upset you? Please don't project anything. It's just strange to take a random comment so personal. And I understand your point, but I dont care about that part.
