    uuhm, i’m confused by what you’re trying to convey: mining is quite literally the process of processing and validating transactions…

      I also think its a confusing metric. It would be like saying the energy cost of a USD transaction is totally expenditure of energy of the US military + the cost of the bank infrastructure energy cost divided by the number of USD transaction. The block reward is essentially a defense budget. That said I would defiantly support decreasing the defense budget for all parties.

      There are other transaction methods (like lightning).

          There is actually no need in such energy wasting for transactions.
