We've decided to solve that problem by consuming very nearly the entire residential power consumption of Canada, a country of 38 million people.

We've done this with a network that can process 400k transactions per day (at $20/transaction in fees), as compared to visa, which does 150 million per day.

Surely, we can do better?

You're a software developer, so if you really believe that, get to hacking.

It's clearly an industry with huge potential if it is economically viable to spend money buying an Argentina's worth of power on it.
