白宮建議禁止使用工作量證明挖礦 Bitcoin

The report discusses bitcoin’s energy use and its negative effects on the environment while suggesting possible executive action in the future.

根據拜登總統的 行政命令, the White House Office of Science and Technology submitted its report on bitcoin mining’s climate impact.The report alludes to possible executive orders and legislation from congress to “limit” or “eliminate” proof-of-work mining. Some of the cited resources have been criticized for biases to certain industries and spreading misinformation.

白宮科技辦公室發布了一份 report 自稱 bitcoin mining negatively impacts the environment and hints towards banning proof-of-work.

“根據市場、政策和當地電力來源,數字資產的電力使用會導致 [溫室氣體排放]、額外污染、噪音和其他當地影響,”報告中寫道。

The first section of the report serves as an introduction while also hinting towards banning proof-of-work mining, which is used to mine bitcoin, if regulatory action fails to influence U.S. climate goals.

“如果這些措施在減少影響方面被證明無效,政府應該探索行政行動,國會可能會考慮立法,以限製或消除使用高能源強度共識機制進行加密資產挖礦,”報告稱。

接下來,該文件探討了採礦如何影響電網。

The Office of Science and Technology asserts that bitcoin mining facilities create added stress on the power grid that leads to blackouts, fire hazards, and equipment deterioration. The report also claims that bitcoin miners will raise the average electricity cost for local consumers.

“根據所使用技術的能源強度,加密資產可能會阻礙更廣泛的努力,以實現符合美國氣候承諾和目標的淨零碳污染,”報告中寫道。

Finally, the last section concludes that there are ways in which bitcoin mining can actually benefit U.S. climate goals, although this is a much smaller section.

“[工作證明] 採礦安裝設備以使用排放的甲烷為運營發電更有可能幫助而不是阻礙美國的氣候目標,”根據報告。

然而,值得一提的是,在本報告中使用的引用資源中,有許多是 辯論 一些研究人員因以下原因受到批評 極端偏見或錯誤信息.
