Hello everyone! Ok ok, we'll do the energy analysis again. Lets start with the Antminer-S9 with a claim on their website of 0.1 J / GHps. Well they mean to say 0.1 J/s / GH/s which is the same as a .1W / GHps. What does this get you for your tenth of a joule?...
In case you missed it token fever is upon us. Easy-issue tokens have driven the rise of ETH and other coins.

After bitcoin block 15323 was solved, more than 24 hours passed before the next block. This is quite a bit longer than the target time of ten minutes. Looking through the blocks at that time we see that they are mostly all empty, and there isn't much action with the difficulty. Even a full day...
