What stunning news…. though not surprising…. The most useful information is The most eco-friendly cryptocurrency available is Stellar, with just 0.0003 kWh per transaction. Stellar also costs less than a cent per transaction……..Is there a comparison chart that shows kWh per transaction for each major coin type – this should shame the polluters….. and users….. PS what user/corporate is ultimately paying cash for the power needed for these transactions????? We know that drowning Bangladeshi/Pakistanis and Ethiopian families dying from drought driven starvation are paying the human cost!!! ) This is a worthy target for the Woke Generation to get their teeth into!
