RE: Ever wonder how much electricity one Bitcoin transaction uses?

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Well they are using solar power to make that electricity, right? /s

Seriously though, that is just crazy. 200kWh per transaction and what, 300,000 transactions per day? So we are doing 60 million kWh every day?

That means that BTC electricity coats is about equal to all of Puerto Rico. It is a small fraction of the world's output, but yikes!
