The Fully Charged Show reveals the dirty truth behind #Fossil Fuels

#Bitcoin one of the few things in line / on track for #SSP1 (where its not complete #climate Armageddon)
Although #hash rate is climbing, mainly due to vast improvements in #ASIC efficiency. #Bitcoin's direct power consumption #emissions (dark green line) are starting to plateau due to improvements in overall #Grid carbon intensity & market saturation.
The dotted blue line is MT CO₂ minus mitigation such as mining with #Methane + Home/ Business heating, mining curtailment/ demand response schemes taking advantage of cheap clean but intermittent #renewables. Other mitigating factors are #banking sector curtailment (red line) which may already make Bitcoins emissions net negative !
The large drop in emissions during 2021 is due to the China mining ban followed by the subsequent move of much of the hash rate to the US where grid carbon intensity is generally lower. Halving events may cull some of the less efficient mining operations causing a brief dip in power consumption. All calculations are Bitcoin BTC ONLY.
Methanes CO2e has increased from 84x to 125x (Sir David King) 1927.4 x 125 = 240,925ppb or 241ppm CO2e
CO2 420ppm
CH4 241ppm equivalent
NOX 94ppm equivalent
= 755ppm CO2eq

I've found miners don't like being unused for long periods, especially when idle for the whole summer . I think they get damp inside and have found drying them with a hair dryer for 20 mins has a 50 / 50 chance of bringing them back to life.

#Bitcoin power consumption
As a keen environmentalist I wanted to know the truth. Whilst bitcoin does have undeniable #CO2 #emissions (greatly exaggerated by vested interests) the more obscure #environment al upside of Bitcoin is potentially huge ! Money, Finance, Energy & Climate are for more intertwined than anyone ever realised.

Diesel engine manufacturer Cummins has agreed to settle an accused violation of the Clean Air Act for a record $1.675 billion. The company was accused of installing defeat devices and other "undisclosed" emissions equipment on almost a million engines used in Ram pickups, allowing the release of thousands of tons of harmful nitric oxides.
The settlement, announced Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice, concerns the emissions equipment used on 960,000 diesel engines used on Ram 2500 and 3500 heavy-duty pickups between model years 2013 and 2023. They share the 6.7-liter Cummins ISB turbo inline-six, 630,000 of which were fitted with defeat devices through 2019. A further 330,000 built from 2019 onward were also fitted with "undisclosed auxiliary emission control devices" that are also part of the settlement.
These emissions equipment setups allowed the dissemination, rather than controlled burn, of nitric oxides, or NOX. These compounds play a role in forming acid rain and smog in the environment, and can exacerbate symptoms of asthma, if not cause it outright over a long period. NOX is also linked to a variety of other potentially fatal health problems.

Don’t use Ledger Live (the supplied software) with Ledger (use Sparrow or Wasabi)

Ledger Live embeds the genuine check into the apps listing procedure. As it is, they always doxx your device when installing or updating apps and firmware. I removed most tracking in Lecce Libre, but they still track you regardless.
For the past couple days I'd been trying to find the genuine check code in Ledger Live
There's "genuine check" labeled code everywhere, but I added tracing prints to it and none of that code was ever run when it checked the device. I thought that was funny so I continued digging.
Looking at the Python code (below) instead of the convoluted Typescript from Ledger Live desktop, I finally understood what's happening
Ledger's genuine device check is embedded with the listApps subroutine. It's kinda hidden there TBH
I tried disabling the remote tracking and it's impossible, it breaks if you do.
Which means Ledger knows it's you every time you plug the device in. During that procedure it lists which apps are installed in your device, so they also know what you're running on your HW.
So right now there's no way to operate Ledger HW's anonymously. They know every time you plug your device in and which apps you have installed. It was even worse before Lecce Libre, it also tracked your crypto balances!
So, the obvious question is why did they glue together apps listing and genuine check? They're not trying to save network calls, that's for sure because their software makes 2 thousand network calls for all sorts of unnecessary stuff (I've removed them from the sources and the system still works).
Thanks for your efforts ! May be you could post an on-chain address in your bio & website to receive bigger donations ?
