"Equivalent to the carbon footprint of 694,893 VISA transactions" That's actually way less than I thought. How much energy does the VISA network expend? Aren't their trillions of transactions per year?

There may be a problem with the way this site is laid out because another thread thought the same thing, but this is the carbon footprint from a single BTC transaction.

It's less than you thought? What did you think it would be and why?

Greater than the energy expenditure of all Visa transactions? This makes it seem more efficient than Visa
