Bitcoin Mining: Tips to Reduce Energy Consumption

Bitcoin can be extremely profitable, but you need to invest a lot of money to mine it. It’s not just that Bitcoin is expensive inherently, it’s more about the energy it costs to power the computers doing the mining. This is only possible with blockchain technology, which helps sectors like banking and logistics. 

Furthermore, mining cryptocurrency uses nearly as much energy every year as the entire country of Ireland. It is a competition because the cryptocurrency isn’t limitless. Powerful equipment can help you beat out the other people’s mining. After all, Bitcoin will not last forever. There are a few different ways to reduce the energy consumption for cryptocurrency mining, here are a few of them. 

Use Renewables to Help Power the Operation
One way to power your cryptocurrency operation is to use renewables according to the website MoneyPug, which is used to compare energy tariffs. If you install solar panels and keep your mining in a sunny area, you will be able to use the energy directly for your operation. It is important to use all the power you can get. This also goes for wind and other alternative energy sources. If you can install a wind turbine, you can use that energy to mine Bitcoin. 

Move Away from Proof-of-Work
A method that uses computing power and resource usage is called a Proof of Work validation. In order to solve the mathematical challenges, you have to validate blockchain transactions. As Bitcoin computing power goes up, the energy needed to mine increases as well. Sometimes they get rewarded with an increase in the amount of Bitcoin you are mining. However, here are differing opinions about the proof of work validation.

It depends on the situation, some use Proof of Stake or Proof of Authority to validate entries on the blockchain, which includes a personal validation. Taking part in the Proof of Stake validation forces you to surrender cryptocurrency, which is put into an escrow account. If you fraudulently validate a transaction on the blockchain, you will lose their coins as well as the ability to improve in the future. 

Build More Energy-Efficient BlockChains
Building blockchains that work differently from the ones that use a lot of energy is because they change a fundamental characteristic that cuts blockchain energy use. One of the fastest solutions is the Red Belly BlockChain, which is capable of performing tens of thousands of transactions a second while cost blockchains handle 20 or fewer transactions at that time. A blockchain with a unique algorithm was developed by mining researchers. This allows for performance scalability without increasing your energy consumption, which is what will maximize your ability to mine more Bitcoin.

If these methods lead to long-term success, people will begin to realize that it’s possible to use it to verify transactions while staying sustainable. It will probably be a while before these new blockchains become commonplace. Still, it remains crucial to help other teams investigate new ways to efficiently mine the cryptocurrency. 

Proof-of-Authority
Using a Proof of Authority algorithm is an alternative to Proof of Work, leveraging identity in order to verify new blocks in the network. It doesn’t rely upon any kind of intensive mining, it is one of the most efficient, low-energy consensus algorithms that will help you mine more while saving money over time.

However you look at it, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to Bitcoin mining. It can definitely become more efficient. Bitcoin takes a lot of energy to mine, but it doesn’t have to be so inefficient and unsustainable. 

With renewable energy, mining Bitcoin will become cheaper and more accessible. Cryptocurrency won’t stop being valuable and expensive to mine, but people won’t stop mining it. It’s clear that it takes way too much power to produce the cryptocurrency, it takes up the amount of energy a small country needs. New algorithms and methods to reduce the cost of mining will help the average person get a piece of the pie. Not only will it help people make more money, but it will also help lessen the impact on the environment.
