it’s weird, but legal for some reason. Giving back energy to the grid can cost money. Shy of just stacking a bunch of batteries, what could I do with the spare summer sunlight?

    Please provide sources on how mining a sand coin, etherium, dogecoin, algorand, Solana, or any other coin is doing this.

    I realize it’s used for money laundering at times, but I’m missing connections here.

      It’s not the coins themselves, obviously. People use crypto in plenty of dodgy ways. Most common crypto scams from the top of my head: rug pulls, nft’s, play-to-earn, crypto exchanges blocking people from withdrawing but allowing transactions into Russia, people buying and selling on the black market.

      I’ve seen all of these happen, and it’s still an issue. I don’t want to be enabling that

      inb4 “nft’s aren’t inherently bad”. It’s not much different from the art industry. lots of laundering and tax avoidance there
