Comment Comment by slaymaker1907 Holy smokes, these things generate a ton of CO2 if it takes a metric ton to store indefinitely on the blockchain.That's apparently 1/5-1/8 the CO2 of RUNNING AN ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD FOR A YEAR.https://www.whatitcosts.com/carbon-offsets-cost-prices/The only way I see this as not being terrible is if the offset is much less bad on a yearly basis.This also seems to be hundreds of times more CO2 than the average US internet user uses in a year.https://www.energuide.be/en/questions-answers/do-i-emit-co2-... parent slaymaker1907 5 years ago
