Status Updates From The Ascent of Information: ...

Now the author goes NYTimes Best Book Whack-a-doodle liniot... jumps to the conclusion that we're running out of planet resources because of the blockchain... and the Dark Matter production continues with this book... must be a universal a-hole producing it? (or this author)

the Proof of work was Intended to make a required amount of work to Mine a bitcoin... it's not a problem to make sure any particular message is the same/equivalent... that's a secure hash... Scharf's explanation of the Blockchain is Idiotic.

Satochi didn't create the block chain to make the crypto secure... secure hashing was already secure... the author Caleb is a Moron.

the blockchain offers no greater backup to data... forget your key or coin (in wallet) and poof (it's gone)

cryptocurrency Proof of Work was inefficent by design.... that the author doesn't understand this... it just too stupid. I'd suggest writing books in the author's own field Butt we've seen how well that went. :rofl.

the author's a cosmology... maybe he only knows how to do arithmetic in orders of magnitude... seriously, when chips use few electrons (optics) to do computing... they Use Less Energy... and we keep making more efficient chips yearly. Author's an idiot.

author seems to know a lot about China computer data centers.... hothot is cool so the cooling cost is less... cute.

We have to seriously doubt the amount of work (materials) that went into a computer chip (of any complexity) is orders of magnitude more material/work than e.g. a car. We may need to Move a lot more material but the concept of filtration is a common one. And No, we wouldn't have metals (steel/aluminum) or plastics (hydrocarbons) without a lot of prework before use. So the author really has a burden of proof to argue!
