Bitcoin Hashrate Slides as Texas Miners Curtail Hashpower to Bolster the Grid

The amount of power wasted by this useless crap is just unbelievable.

#Bitcoin’s total hashrate tapped a low of 170 exahash per second (EH/s) on Dec. 25, as reports noted that bitcoin miners in Texas curtailed their hashpower during a massive winter freeze. Statistics show that close to 100 exahash dropped off the network but rebounded from the 170 EH/s low to 240 EH/s by 12:00 p.m. (ET).

And there are idiots who truly believe in this type of crap:

“Bitcoin miners have once again voluntarily shut off power during an extreme weather event in Texas,” Porter tweeted. “Bitcoin miners are good for the grid.”
