BTC TESTNET why so much energy deployed ?
has someone found way to swap t-BTC to other mainnet coins or taking a chance if ..

typical calc-
1 Watt = 1 Joule per second.
So to get to kWh per TH, the calculation for a T17+ is:
[44 Joules / (60 seconds x 60 minutes)] / (1000 Watts/kW)
= 0.000012222 kWh / TH.
So at an electricity price of $0.04 kWH (referenced above) a miner would be paying $0.0000004889 a TH.
Total power consumption = World average TeraHash x Average J/THash
775.65 x 44 = 34.1 kW
Number of ASICs = 34kW / Average ASIC power consumption 1.5kW ?
ā 27 ASICs
Yearly power consumption = hours a year x Watts
8766 x 34kW = 298,044 kWh
Annual Electricity Cost = consumption x $0.04kWh = $11,922
Iād think this is the about right to give a good simulation, with a bunch of rusty old repurposed #ASICs
Second question - Pass š¤·š»āāļø

your calc est. is correct
also 35KW is not significant
but it can used in other POW chains old ASICs to earn $ or swap to BTC
still unexplained reason who doing this for what fun
- one group can be ASIC manufact. stress testing etc
= devs can easily use existing coins
