Ok I'm breaking my head over this.
Who can help me calculate the
daily carbon emission caused by mining Bitcoins, given the following parameters?
- A current hash rate of 107,533,531.29 GH/s (according to
www.blockchain.info/stats)
- A global emission average of 0.65 tonnes of CO2/MWh
- Average mining hardware power consumption of 10Watts per GH/s. *
And I don't need just the answer, I need every step in the calculations.
* It's really hard to make a good guess how much the average power consumption of all mining equipment in the world would be. If anyone can help me make a more educated guess please let me know.
NB: Only the first to give me a complete and easy to understand step-by-step answer will get the bounty! So please PM me to make sure you're the first.
