Plan from El Salvador Bitcoin mining with volcanic energy?

Status: 10.06.2021 12:45 p.m.

Completely clean, completely renewable: El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele plans to mine Bitcoins with the help of energy from volcanoes. This is how the country wants to get its high energy consumption under control. El Salvador wants to use geothermal energy from volcanoes for the energy-intensive mining of the crypto currency Bitcoin. President Nayib Bukele tweeted that he had commissioned the state-run geothermal electricity company LaGeo to work out a corresponding plan. The President is convinced that this is very cheap, 100 percent clean and renewable, does not generate any emissions and will develop quickly. There are more than a dozen volcanoes in El Salvador, many of which are still active.

Huge energy requirements

The immensely high energy requirement of Bitcoin mining has been discussed critically in public for a long time. The Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance (CCAF) is working on this topic and has created an index on it . The Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index is supposed to estimate in real time how much electricity is currently being used for mining. The data is then extrapolated to the year. The calculated value is currently around 111 terawatt hours. This corresponds roughly to the annual electricity consumption in the Netherlands. According to the Federal Environment Agency, Germany consumed around 553 terawatt hours in 2020. According to a study by Bank of America, the global Bitcoin industry emits a total of 60 million tons of CO2 annually, which corresponds to the emissions of around nine million cars.

Bitcoin as a means of payment …

A few days ago, Bukele announced that El Salvador would be the first country to introduce Bitcoin as legal tender . He expects the move to create thousands of new jobs in the Central American country. Among other things, taxes should be able to be paid in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most popular digital currency. It is not issued by a central bank, but created using a decentralized computer process known as mining. It is by no means clear whether it is even suitable as a means of payment.

… or as an object of speculation?

Because so far, cryptocurrencies have mainly attracted attention as speculative objects, the value of which is subject to extreme fluctuations: Bitcoin was quoted at more than $ 55,000 around May 10, and is currently around $ 36,000. If the value of part of the income is exposed to such strong fluctuations within a very short period of time, this poses a number of problems for a state budget policy. The high volatility of cryptocurrencies is also an incalculable risk for companies. The US electric car maker Tesla, for example, started in March of this year To accept Bitcoin as a means of payment for its vehicles and reversed this step a little later . As a justification, Tesla boss Elon Musk referred to the “insane” energy consumption of prospecting. But it is likely that Musk, as a businessman, at least had these price fluctuations in mind.

Internet Explorer is the web browser that originally comes with Windows. As the “veteran” among the browsers, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was once pre-installed on billions of computers running the Windows operating system. At the peak of IE, more than 95% of the global browser market was captured by IE. However, the user experience of IE browser is not very good. This market share is also due to Microsoft’s bundling. And because of its single function and long response time, its compatibility lags far behind other browsers, and the hidden dangers of security vulnerabilities have always existed. This leads to a phenomenon that many people have Internet Explorer installed on their computers. , But will not use it, many people turn to download other browsers. In 2008, after the emergence of Google Chrome, IE was forgotten even faster. In 2012, the market share of Google Chrome surpassed IE. In order to defend the status of the IE browser, Microsoft developed the Edge browser in 2013 and bundled it into the Windows 10 system; in January 2020, Microsoft officially released a new Chromium-based Edge browser. Since then, the browser The performance of the Edge browser is not bad, and the market share continues to grow. As of November 2020, the Edge browser market share has reached 11.06%. In the 2011 “50 Worst Tech Products in the History of Technology” list, IE6 ranked 11th. The footsteps of history came to 2015, in the browser market, the share of IE browser is only less than 20%, only 15.71%. Microsoft can no longer meet the needs of today’s era. The manager of Microsoft’s IE marketing department once joked that IE6 seems to have become a joke among its peers. There are more and more people mocking IE on the Internet. All kinds of jokes make people laugh, and some people even ridicule publicly. The existence of IE is mainly for downloading other browsers. The end of IE browser seems inevitable. According to Microsoft, most consumers have not used the IE browser for so many years, so Microsoft adjusted its strategy in due course. Nowadays, the IE browser of some Windows 10 users has been replaced by Edge. According to the data, as of 2021 In April 2008, IE’s market share was actually less than 2% on the global desktop computer browsers. According to Microsoft’s plan, for certain versions of Windows 10, the IE11 desktop application will be deactivated on June 15 next year and will no longer be supported. In fact, as early as before, foreign media reported that Microsoft planned to abandon the IE browser. Due to the previous deregulation of IE, it was forced to give up its market share. Microsoft took out Edge to try to restore the decline. Microsoft also called on companies. Give up IE browser and use Edge instead. But it has been launched for 5 years now, and it seems that it has not regained the lost ground. Data show that as of April this year, the share of the Edge browser in the global browser market is only 3%. The rival Google Chrome has a market share of more than 65%. In addition, with the development of the Internet, people rely more on smartphones when surfing the Internet. Many vertical applications have basically solved people’s daily needs. Although browsers sometimes still have their own unique functions, it is obvious that their functions are gradually being marginalized. Functions such as takeaway, taxi, search, reading, and information can be easily implemented on many people’s mobile phones. Because of this, many people’s browsers have not been opened. Although Microsoft gave up IE, it did not give up the cake of the entire browser world. After the curtain call of the IE browser, Microsoft Edge took the heavy burden, although this new browser could not compete with the powerful Google browser and a variety of cost-effective domestic browsers. After all, the 360 ​​browser, the Firefox browser QQ browser and QQ browser have taken a lot of browser market share, but it is always a new journey and new attempt by Microsoft. All in all, the IE browser that grew up with us has also come to the end of its own era, and will be completely surrendered to others in the near future.

“We no longer recognize our own city. The Israeli army has redrawn the map of Gaza,” the reporter of Guardian in Gaza opened their paper. No longer recognizing his own city This little place is so distorted that the previous map of its roads and landmarks is now useless. On the streets, crater-like bomb craters were scattered. Debris lay scattered on both sides of the road, or sometimes blocked the roads. The famous buildings here no longer exist. 11 days of shelling has displaced the city. The aerial attacks caused the ground to shake violently, to the point that at some bomb sites, buildings seemed to be pulled to the ground rather than being hit from above. The Al-Jalaa Tower in Gaza City, where Al Jazeera and the Associated Press were located, was leveled by an Israeli missile. Photo: REX. On one street, the curving walls of a kindergarten lean down at an angle until they disappear completely. Nearly a week after the attack, large concrete mounds still line Al-Wehda Road. A 7-story building is now just a giant pile of rubble on the corner of the street. In a house, all that remains is a stairway among the dust. Across the street are the ruins of another building. “It’s a very old medical clinic, possibly the oldest in Gaza,” said Abdel-Latif al-Hajj, director general of international cooperation at the health ministry in Gaza. “. Al-Hajj said the building is Gaza’s main Covid-19 testing center. “Anyone can imagine what would happen if we stopped testing,” he said. In addition, war means that thousands of displaced people are now crowded together, which can speed up disease transmission. The 11-day conflict between Israel and Hamas has left more than 250 people dead, the vast majority of them Palestinians. Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes against militia targets in Gaza, while Hamas has fired more than 4,000 rockets towards Israel. “The Al-Wehda Carnage” According to the Guardian , Al-Wehda Street, is the main street in the center of Gaza City. At one end of Al-Wehda, Gaza’s largest medical facility, Shifa Hospital, is home to many survivors. Amjed Murtaja, 40 years old, lying on a hospital bed, legs covered with scratches. He said he was in his apartment on the fourth floor of the al-Wehda building when the bomb hit the balcony. “The building shook. My only thought at that time was to get to my wife and children,” he said. Just as Murtaja ran to another room and was just in time to hug his family, a second bomb fell, causing the entire structure to collapse. “We fell together,” he said. People in Beit Hanoun, Gaza return to their homes after the truce. Photo: Anadolu Agency. After landing, Murtaja’s hand was sandwiched between patches of cotton wool. They were stuck for about four hours, before neighbors and rescuers dug down and pulled them out. His wife Suza broke her back. In the same building, several members of the Al-Auf family, including one of Gaza’s most famous doctors, once the head of the anti-Covid-19 task of Shifa hospital, also died. Mr Murtaja said that while he was trapped, he could hear the screams of neighbors who were also trapped in the rubble like himself. Murtaja’s wife, Suza, is in the same hospital, but in a different women’s ward. Lying in an IV hospital bed, she said that after the sudden tremor, she was disoriented and at first thought she had been knocked over by a cupboard. One hand was stuck, the other hand held the phone and turned on the light, only to find that the building had collapsed. During the four hours she was trapped, she tried to coax her 2-year-old to sleep, but debris kept falling and waking him up. Israel said Thursday’s attack on Al-Wehda was aimed at destroying a vast network of tunnels it called the “Metro”, because it believed Hamas was hiding its military resources. The military said it had no intention of knocking down the building. So far, there has not been any clear evidence that Hamas is hiding what is in this tunnel system. The shelling on Al-Wehda Street was the deadliest attack in Gaza in the 11-day Israeli-Hamas conflict. Photo: AP. Nearly a week after the attack, a sign was erected in front of the building, bearing the names of those who died and the words “Al-Wehda massacre”. It was considered one of the deadliest attacks in Gaza in the 11-day Israeli-Hamas conflict, claiming the lives of 42 people. According to the United Nations, violence in Gaza has destroyed nearly 260 buildings. 53 schools, 6 hospitals and 11 health care centers were damaged. Nearly 80,000 people are displaced in the region, and about 800,000 have little access to tap water.

Gaza Strip in ruins as seen from satellite Satellite images show the severity of damage in the Gaza Strip during more than 10 days of intense fighting.

On May 21, G7 pledged to completely stop funding coal-fired power plants. On May 21, environment ministers from the Group of Top Industrialized Countries (G7) agreed to take concrete steps by the end of the year to stop government funding for coal-fired power plants as part of efforts to curb global warming. In a statement after the two-day video conference, the G7 environment ministers said: “(We) are committed to taking concrete steps towards an absolute end to the new direct government assistance. for international coal-fired power generation by the end of 2021, including through Official Development Assistance (ODA), export finance, investment, financial support and trade promotion” . However, the statement did not mention the possibility of phasing out coal-fired power generation, leading analysts to believe that the G7’s call would have little impact on global efforts to tackle the problem. climate change issue. The removal of government support for fossil fuel financing, which emits large amounts of greenhouse gases that warm the Earth, is seen as essential to limiting the growth of fossil fuels. global temperature increase at 1.5 degrees Celsius, above pre-industrial levels.

However, due to the scarcity of vaccines, so far, our country has only imported a limited number. The Ministry of Health is very active to get more vaccines, but there will be a larger supply until the end of the year, but it is not enough to create herd immunity, so the whole country still needs to take preventive measures. disease as there is no vaccine. “The Government has assigned localities to prevent and control the epidemic in the spirit of “4 on the spot”, take necessary measures: Actively prepare forces, supplies and equipment for their localities according to the global epidemic scenarios. Based on professional analysis, there are safe anti-epidemic measures and good implementation of “dual goals”, requiring localities to discuss with neighboring provinces when implementing isolation and social distancing. “, the Deputy Prime Minister added.

Colonel Hoang Chien No (born 1952), former Political Chief, Military Command of Dak Doa district, Gia Lai province recounted: in 1975, I was 23 years old, holding the position of lieutenant – lieutenant Captain of Battalion 2, Company 5, Regiment 95, Military Region 5. After completing the mission of liberating Khanh Hoa, on the evening of April 10, I followed fishermen’s fishing boats from Nha Trang to the island. Travel time is exactly 4 days 3 nights to the West Song Tu Island. Our forces at that time pretended to be fishermen on a fishing boat, so during the movement they were not detected by the enemy. “Around 3 am, April 14, the directions were brought by rubber boats to bring troops close to Song Tu Tay Island. At 4:30, after hearing the gunshots in the west of the island, they all opened fire to attack. To our nose on duty, comrade Dinh Quoc Lap (former platoon leader of Battalion 2, Company 5, Regiment 95, Military Region 5) shot a B41 at the enemy’s bunker and attacked in many directions. for the enemy to panic and panic. The enemy fought back weakly, quickly surrendered, our troops destroyed and captured 33 enemies. At 5:30 a.m. on the same day, we lifted the flag of the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam onto the flagpole on the island, asserting the sovereignty of the Fatherland, ”recalled Colonel Hoang Chien No. Sergeant Master Dinh Quoc Lap, who directly participated in the battle to liberate Song Tu Tay and was admitted to the Party on the island, said on April 24, the weather on the island is very beautiful, under the row of green coconuts on Song Tu Tay Island, with with the Party flag hanging at the trunk of the coconut tree, I was accepted and accepted into the ranks of the Communist Party of Vietnam, in the presence of my comrades who stood shoulder to shoulder.
“As the first soldier admitted on Song Tu Tay Island, at that time I was only 20 years old, it is an honor, great happiness, not a moment I forget,” said Senior Sergeant Dinh Quoc Lap. Song Tu Tay was lost, the enemy’s defenses on the Spratlys were threatened.

In order to attract consumers, Microsoft Xbox, Sony PS, Nintendo Switch will provide some free games, some of which support multiplayer networking mode, and need to use the server of the host manufacturer. Considering the operating cost of the server, host manufacturers previously required users to open a membership in order to play with others online.

The Microsoft Xbox game library provides more than 50 free games, allowing users to play as much as they want. Now Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One have also added “find team” and “party” functions to help players find teammates. It is not difficult to see that Microsoft is optimizing the social functions of the host to increase user stickiness.

The price of graphics cards has doubled this year, causing more and more consumers to turn to game consoles. In the console market, Sony has always dominated Microsoft, and even with the PS console, it has become the world’s highest revenue game company by 2020. In order to further seize the Microsoft Xbox market, some time ago, Sony’s PS console free game network no longer needed members. Microsoft also responded quickly and also abolished the free-to-play online membership.

But this can only suspend Sony’s offensive, and cannot prevent the PS console from eating away at the Xbox market. VGChartz statistics show that As of September 2020, the global sales of PS4 series consoles have exceeded 110 million units, and the sales of Switches have reached 65.71 million units, while the Xbox One of the same generation has only 48.34 million units.

The biggest problem with Microsoft Xbox is that there are too few exclusive games, and many games on the platform have landed on PC and PS consoles. This phenomenon makes it unnecessary for users to buy Xbox for a small number of exclusive games. The PS console has many exclusive games, and even the “Uncharted Seas” series that represents Sony’s movie game aesthetics.

Exclusive games are Sony’s magic weapon to win, but Sony is killing chickens for short-term benefits. Recently, many of Sony’s exclusive masterpieces have landed on the PC, and the “God of War” series has also revealed the news that it will be ported to the PC, causing many netizens to be dissatisfied with Sony.

The abolition of the free-to-play membership system is the first step for Microsoft to sound the horn of counterattack. It is expected that Microsoft will spend a lot of money to develop exclusive games to further narrow the gap with Sony.
